A polar bear attack at the Berlin Zoo occurred when 32-year-old Mandy K. entered the bear enclosure during feeding time, resulting in serious injuries. She climbed over a fence and wall, leading to an encounter with four polar bears. One bear bit her multiple times before zookeepers intervened.
The rescue involved six zookeepers, who worked to distract the bears and save Mandy, who required emergency surgery for her injuries. Mandy, a teacher struggling with job loss, may have been emotionally distressed, though her motives remain unclear. She is recovering, but the psychological impact of the incident is expected to be significant.
