Zookeepers at the Berlin Zoo fought off the attacking bear from outside the enclosure as they pulled the German woman, 32, to safety, Britain’s Daily Telegraph reported.
The woman, who jumped into a moat in the enclosure, suffered serious bites to her arms and legs. In December, a man who jumped into the same enclosure also survived after zookeepers baited the polar bears away with beef. It was not clear why the woman jumped into the area.

Kalebu, who was out on bail pending trial for charges he threatened to kill his mother, after a suspicious fire at his aunt's house killed two people.

SAN FRANCISCO - JULY 27: A Guinea Pig named Oreo sits in the grass at the San Francisco Zoo July 27, 2009 in San Francisco, California. Disney's new blockbuster film G-Force, which features computer generated Guinea Pigs that save the world, has animal activists worried that people will rush out to buy the small pet only to turn around and abandoned it soon after realizing that guinea pigs require an investment of time to care for them.
