An intoxicated male in Poland climbed into a zoo unit and wound up wrestling a bear – jeopardising both of their lives.

Footage reveals the intoxicated 23-year-old visitor jumping into the water at the enclosure at Warsaw Zoo, and after a female bear follows him in, he can be seen covering his arms around her neck and seemingly holding her head listed below the water.

Fortunately for the guy, he was rescued by firemans and required to the medical facility with only small scratches. Zoo agent Anna Karczewska claimed the bear was left terribly shaken by the event.

She claimed: “The female bear, named Sabina, was surprised by the guy’s actions as well as is currently being in the water and nervously barking every so often. She is under the watchful eye of caring zoo team.”

The zoo included that it will certainly do all it can to see the man prosecuted.

According to Polsat News, the zoo claimed: “The Warsaw Zoo will take all lawful steps connected to this event to bring the perpetrator to justice. The pets were exposed to danger as well as their mental convenience was disturbed.”

In a psychological Facebook post, the zoo claimed the guy ‘drowned’ the bear, called Sabina, which his invasion could have brought about her being fired.

The message read: “Loved ones. Today won’t be amusing or enjoyable. Today is mosting likely to be very serious. Probably some of you have actually currently read about the incident on the footway of brown bears in Prague Park. In broad daylight, a man jumped on the catwalk where two of our bears entered the influence of our bears [sic]

“He attacked Sabina, after that drowned her in the water. Everything finished ‘well’ – and also human and also animals live. Sabina escaped and also the intruder took out by the Fire Brigade. However, this is a dreadful misfortune for us.

“Little One [one more bear in the unit] was likewise on the catwalk during that time, luckily she did not join the whole fight. If that held true, a guy can have suffered a lot larger injuries.

“For us, however, the largest nightmare is that in scenarios like this, when human life is threatened, pets are shot. The sedatives do not function fast, only weapons are left. Possibly not everybody knows this and that’s why they take the chance of to family pet, feed, take a ‘trendy’ picture as well as be able to display on the net.”

While the incident finished around as well as it can have, the zoo added that Sabrina – that was rescued from the circus – was left stressed and distressed in the aftermath.

The message continued: “It damaged our hearts that Sabina survived this strike hard. She was stressed out for a few more hours, cried as well as didn’t react to our telephone calls. She is currently an aged bear, rescued from the circus as well as has actually passed her in her life.

“We work with them every day ensuring that along with Little One they trust us, are not afraid of us and also really feel comfortable. Is it actually worth it, for a ‘trendy’ video, images, or out of pure stupidness to damage every little thing we have accomplished? We can not believe for others. Bear in mind, everybody is accountable for themselves.

“If points were a little different, Sabina as well as Little One could not be with us any longer. As well as this is the most frightening feature of every one of this.”
