Berlin - Lonely man jumps into cage with Knut

Lonely man jumps into polar bear's cage in Berlin

A man jumped into the Berlin zoo enclosure of famed polar bear Knut on Monday, but officials were able to keep the animal away from the intruder by distracting him with a leg of beef, police said. The 37-year-old man jumped over a fence into a water-filled ditch at the edge of the bear's enclosure Monday morning, police said in a statement.

Zoo keepers, who had just let Knut into his outdoor enclosure, were able to lure the bear back into his cage by producing a leg of beef.

Police said the man, a German, was less cooperative, initially ignoring instructions to leave the enclosure. He was led away unharmed but, although he was soaked and cold, he refused to undergo a medical checkup.

Police said that, before being let go, the man told them that he felt lonely and the bear appeared lonely, too.

Knut, now age 2, was hand-raised after his mother rejected him at birth. He rose to stardom early last year as a cute white ball of fluff, but has since grown rapidly into a hulking 440-pound (200-kilogram) predator.

I'm suprised he chose the leg of beef over a german tourist.

[Propagator]

Leg of beef was probably more tastier

I'm sure it tasted better but he would have got more satisfaction from the dipshit tourist.

what you mean by tourist? He was german in a german zoo! I know you dont like germans..
I would have agreed if the person was British, than "dipshit tourist" would have been in order.

Sorry i forgot that Berlin was in Germany. When I read it last night I think I confused it with Moscow.

He's still a dipshit though for jumping in the enclosure whatever nationality he is.

[Johnny Longprong]

Poor bloke. He obviously still has a heart, even though there are a few Kangaroos loose in his top paddock.

I don't dislike Germans! I love this guy, he's great.
