Shock and chaos erupted at the Berlin Zoo this afternoon after a 32-year-old woman made a reckless leap into the polar bear enclosure.

At first, stunned visitors thought it was a joke. But within moments, terror swept through the crowd as one of the massive polar bears lunged forward and att@cked the intruder. Screams echoed as the woman was dragged into the water, the bear’s strength overwhelming against her desperate struggle.

Security staff and zookeepers rushed in, using poles and warning shots to force the bear back. In a tense and dangerous operation, rescuers finally managed to pull the woman to safety. Witnesses described the scene as “pure horror,” with children crying and families in shock.

The woman, who sustained serious injuries from multiple bites and scratches, was rushed to the hospital and is now in critical condition.

Zoo officials confirmed she had deliberately ignored barriers and warning signs to enter the enclosure. Authorities are now investigating why she risked her life in such a dangerous act.
