Mandy K, 32, climbed into the bear enclosure at the Berlin Zoo on Friday during feeding time and was bitten by one of the bears on her arms and legs. Six zookeepers managed to distract the bears and help her. Mandy underwent surgery and is recovering in the hospital.
The incident has raised concerns about mental health, as Mandy, a teacher, had been struggling with employment. Zoo officials are reviewing security protocols to prevent similar events and urge visitors to respect safety barriers when near wild animals.
