But why did she jump into the bear pool?

The incident at Berlin Zoo shocked visitors! On a spring Friday in 2009, a 32-year-old woman jumped into the polar bears' enclosure, swimming straight towards them. At feeding time, the four bears, used to attracting crowds, caught the eye... but this time, it was a human approaching! As one of the bears stepped forward, the horrified audience thought they were witnessing a tragedy. Despite the dramatic situation, the caretakers courageously intervene: they throw buoys and food to keep the bear away and help the woman, who is finally rescued. Taken to hospital, she escaped with injuries that could have cost her her life.
