A woman swims towards a polar bear after jumping into a well-fenceed enclosure at Berlin Zoo Friday April 10, 2009. The 32-year-old trespasser was bitten by one of the four polar bears in the enclosure before being pulled back to safety by zookeepers. It's still unclear about the cause of the woman's dangerous stunt, who is now recovering after surgery at local hospital. [cnsphoto]
