The man eventually managed to escape with minor cuts and was taken to hospital.
Zoo spokesman Karczewska said: 'Sabina, an old bear who was attacked by an adult man, physically came out of this event unscathed, but she is very stressed.
'She used to belong to a circus and is accustomed to the presence of people, but she absolutely did not expect a human attack.
'After the event, she sat in the water growling nervously until her carers came to look after her.'
This poor bear. The second story about her makes me even angrier. Human enters her enclosure illegally and punches the poor thing. This article explains why she didn’t look like she was coming to attack him in the water. She had that “oh shit” behavior dogs do before jumping in the water with him. They need better security for her, and to send her somewhere she can live peacefully without humans around to bother her.
Exactly I was confused it didn't appear more aggressive and remained so calm. It makes sense now. He's lucky it was just an old captive bear. If this was in the wild he would've gotten gutted and mauled within the first two seconds. Humans can be terrible sometimes
This was 4 years ago, few days or weeks after this incident both bears (there were two there actually) were moved to Warsaw Zoo.
I tried finding info if Sabina is still alive, since she’s an old bear, but I only found info that two other Old bears that shared the enclosure with her died. There were few vids of her on Facebook 2 years ago that I found from the new enclosure, she looked happy. But like I said I’m not sure if she’s still around.
What an idiot. He should be charged with animal cruelty! Poor thing didn’t deserve that.
To give more insight. This was in 2020, he was charged with animal cruelty while under influence and accepted his punishment. His sentence was 2 years of social work 20h a month and 5000pln fine (not a lot). The worst thing is that if he did not try to drown the bear "in self defence", the bear would be put down under Polish law. So in the end because the guy was a fucking idiot, the bear lived. Fucker got off lightly but at least the bear was not killed because of him.
5000pln is like 1-2 months' worth of wages for most people. It's quite a bit to pay off.
It's not a lot for committing a serious crime.
This makes my blood boil too but what he did is more towards morally wrong rather than a serious crime taking in fact the aftermath
For me trespassing under influence and animal cruelty is a serious crime. I don't throw it in the same basket as murder etc, but the punishment should be more than he received.
He is an idiot, and he should be charged with everything regarding him going into the enclosure, but when a bear is in the water with you you aren’t just gonna chill there, and you certainly can’t outrun a bear
No but he created the entire situation by illegally going in there in the first place. It is obvious that would put him in a spot where he had to fight or die. So he absolutely should be held responsible and also charged for everything that was caused to the bear, as it was his negligence and recklessness that caused it.
My heart broke reading this.
Poor girl must have been so disheartened by humans after this.
I hope she learns to trust them again.
Humans are not to be trusted.
I feel like this is got so much worse when I learned that her name is Sabina and she is an old bear
That poor bear. It makes sense now why she didn’t rip him to shreds, but it’s even more sad.
man this makes me so fucking sad now
The Revenant - First draft
i hate u
Is it just me or does anyone else wonder why humans continue to test animals that can end them in seconds
You never electrocuted yourself just to see if you could take it?
Had no choice,
At the baboon enclosure at Wrocław zoo, fucking idiot husband god knows in what fucking wisdom, decides to lean over and touch the electric fence that was keeping said baboons from absconding presumably!
I would have been more in depth in thd story telling, the only part I took notice was as he was leaning over he grabbed my wrist for "stability".
It was my own fault! I should have paid more attention, both got zapped hard! He screamed, I fucking screamed (took me a hot second to figure out what had occured) I got hit hard so I can only imagine how shocking it was for him, serves him right though
The same amps flow through every point in a series circuit. If you were his only ground, the only difference was the path it took through your bodies
Totally get that, I'm mostly pissed off because it took me a split second too long to twig what he was about to do.
He didn't need to grab me at all. That was for effect. lol he knew what he was doing the son of a bitch
I would have been made to do the washing up for the next year at least for that.
I’d only make you do the laundry, and only for a month.
Only when licking a 9 volt battery
Mmmm, spicy metal!
Nope but stuck my hand in a rat trap to see if it would hurt when I was about 7. Older brother thought it was hilarious.
Spoken like a man who's never won a fight with a bear.
People who tell me apex predators are deadly to humans: the media.
People who lie: the media.
Conclusion: I am going to fuck with this apex predator.
Well, we are the apex predator of this planet. /s
That's not untrue, but it's because we can make and use tools, not any of our pure physical attributes.
We had friends even before tools
Maybe the real tools are the friends we made along the way.
Yeah theres a bunch of tools around here all right
And some of them are dull as fuck.
This is an underrated comment
In this context, those friends are just tools with feelings.
What about tools with no friends?
Well that was uncalled for.
Just because I don't have friends doesn't mean I don't have feelings.
What if my friends are a bunch of tools.
That's actually not true. Humans are some of the greatest long distance runners in the world and it was a great attribute for hunting back in the day. Doesn't matter if the prey is faster than you, just chase them down until they're exhausted.
That plus spears.
And before that, rocks.
Rock good.
Yep. Humans are incredibly energy efficient. There's not many animals in the world that are able to run for multible kilometers/miles without a major break. They're good sprinters for the most part - not endurance runners.
So They will win 100m race but won't be able to run a marathon?
Basically, yes. 4 legs are an advantage for sprint speeds, but consume a whole lot more energy than 2.
That's why hunting involved basically running until your prey is so exhausted it just can't run anymore, then you stab it with your pointy stick.
Instructions unclear. Pointy stick stuck in electrical socket now.
Canines do it too. Wolves and dogs can go forever. Foxes not so much.
Humans can outrun Wolves and Dogs too, over extended distances. At least I've read smth about hunting wolves that way a couple hundret years ago
It's actually more about the sweating than the energy efficiency. Animals can't regulate their body temperature nearly as well and therefore collapse after a while.
It’s actually more about the anxiety than the sweating. Animals don’t worry as much about the in-laws coming for thanksgiving dinner.
I just saw a video of a man successfully wrestling a bear while swimming. Your argument is Invalid.
I just saw that video too.
Does a brain not consist of a physical attribute?
I think this clown lacks that physical attribute. But also, no brain is a mental attribute, not physical, although it is a tangible thing.
Well we are? Doesn’t mean we will win out in all situations. A killer whale won’t beat a cow on land.
A killer wale has nothing on a depth charge, of course humans won't win in all conditions. But shit man, we are like batman. we have wits and prep time.
Because we have more balls than we do brains?
Because the deepest, dumbest part of the human brain can often be the loudest. When we don’t fight the stupid thoughts we enact them.
We’re supposed to.
Nah
How do you think we got where we are? We tested things.
Human 300,000 years ago: I bet I could take that thing. *Dies*
Human 200,000 years ago: I bet I could take that thing if I had a stick.
The rest is history. :P
No need to retake a test already taken multiple times though.
I mean the guy won the fight tho
He 'won' the fight because it's an old circus bear that's used to humans. The bear wasn't trying to attack him and if it did then we wouldn't be seeing that guy make it out alive.
i mean, the human won…
Adrenaline is one hell of a drug for some people.
We are hard wired to want to dominate other species. It’s a rudimentary instinct that obviously ends poorly many times, but there’s your answer.
Wasn't this the drunk guy? There was a very similar story where the bear was not really hostile and got traumatized by the drunk guy almost drowning him.
Someone please correct me if this is the same story or not.
Feed this into ai prompt. Drunk guy tries to drown non hostile bear, bear is now traumatized
That's a hilarious mental image
Wow this was actually worth seeing even with that terrible background noise. Dude rode the bear like it was a dolphin.
That’s how coons kill coon hounds. They get to a river and if a dog jumps in after them the coon will get on top of the dogs head and try to drown them.
Kangaroos do this to dogs as well.
I just call them Roos.
Hitman Racoon finds no joy in his job.
The water is not deep enough, so the person can stand up, so his hands are free. Bear although can stand on its hind legs, can't do with that current. So it needs all of its legs to swim/ stay afloat. Basically the human had the "high ground".
But the bear was the chosen one!?
You were my brother bearakin
I ate you!
“Its Ko-da”
Bear : "You underestimate my power!!!"
Hello there
I thought the bear was trying to help him at first then the guy started punching it
Dude rides dolphins like bulls.
Poor bear sweet girl was already a rescued circus performer trying to live out her retirement
Why is the guy in the enclosure in the first place?
What a piece of shit.
Some people get scared and fall over under pressure. This guys fight or flight response chose BOTH
Thats cuz he jumped in there himself to assault the bear.
What's up with dumbasses going into animal enclosures?
He threw hands with a bear and walked away. JFC
A bear in a zoo that is very used to humans, interacting with zookeepers daily. It’s still a wild animal, but if you look at its body language it was not trying very hard.
Reminds me of that video where the Aussie guy punches a red kangaroo in the face that was trying to hurt his dog. One of my Aussie friends told me that a red kangaroo can rear back, stand on its tail, and eviscerate you with the claws on its feet. Not sure if that's 100% accurate, but I do know that kangaroos will drown their opponents by holding them underwater.
Aussie here. Yes, that is 100% accurate. Wild roos will usually leave you alone if you give them space, but they can still murder you with their feet.
The number of creatures that can murder you in Australia is pretty frightening. Box jellyfish, saltwater crocs, snakes, etc.
Blue-ringed octopuses, spiders the size of small villages...
Spiders crawling out of toilets and biting your nads. Note that the headline below says "Spider bites Australian man on penis again"
Add housing prices to that list too.
They don't even need to do that. Those legs can make a 200kg kangaroo jump into the air real high.
They can rear back and kick you hard enough to stop your heart.
Edit: 200 lbs, not kg.... Oops
Even the largest of red kangaroos don’t begin to approach two hundred kilos—in fact the record holder only weighed in at 95 kilos. Still a big animal, though, and they can definitely mess a person up.
Ok 200 lbs. 200 kilos would be like… well a big goat I guess. Not may things are 200 kilos, kind of an awkward weight. Probably closest thing would be like is your mom.
200 kilos is 441 lbs.. where do you get your goats?
Just the closest I saw on lists of random animal weights. They weighed 310 lbs, so still pretty far off, which is why I said I guess a big goat lol
Reindeer, some dolphins, and wild boar are the only things that came up when I searched. I’m sure there’s others. Like a not quite miniature horse breed
And she’s very lucky to have a special someone like you in her life.
Only water kangeroos
Yes, kangaroos can do that but they generally don't. Death by kangaroo doesn't really happen unless you hit them with your car, which happens frequently. I've hit 5.
If you think a wild animal in a zoo isn’t any more dangerous than in the wild I would say you are very mistaken.
Don’t act like you know how hard that bear was trying.
Nothing that guy said is wrong. A bear that never interacts with humans and a bear that interacts with them and gets fed by them every day are both incredibly dangerous and can decide to kill you at a moments notice, but the bear that interacts with humans every day is less likely to make that decision. Bears are very smart animals and can learn to become quite indifferent to humans. Like bears that start wandering into towns and campsites all the time. If they are getting food they are use to humans they probably aren’t going to hurt you, but if they can’t get food or just feel mildly grouchy then they will tear you up
Sorry, should have mentioned in my first reply! I work with captured wild animals. I have limited experience with bears- I typically work with foxes and hawks- but I stand by what I said.
She shares a brain cell with the dude in the video. "What will the bear do? Fight me? This is a zoo, nothings gonna happen!"
Sir, this is a Wendys.
That went WAY better than i thought it would
That bear will have PTSD for the rest of its life whenever it goes near the water
The bear has probably been in captivity so long he was curious, maybe threatened. But I didn’t see any overt aggression from bear. But.. I was hoping (what I assume is some useless person jumping into a bear enclosure) that the bear showed him what Fk Around and Find Out meant!! Next time…
That dude is a piece of shit.
I'm Mongolian and have never heard of a proverb like that. Probably came from OP's ass.
Probably the Northern neighbour’s proverb “два медведя в одной берлоге не уживутся” (”two bears won't get along in one den”) or the Southern neighbour’s proverb 一山不容二虎 (“two tigers won’t get along in one mountain”)
Is it just me or does the bear looks worried and is trying to save the guy from drowning?
For a bear to grab his arm like that (1160psi potential bite force, to break a human bone requires half that) he must have been trying to pull him out of the water. Sure, maybe killing him on solid ground is easier but I'm gonna say the bear was trying to help. World's kindest bear vs World's floppiest dickhead
You know what?? It kinda does right up until the dude starts throwing haymakers
What on earth is thy guy doing there?
Fuck this dude. What a piece of shit.
Kind of wish the bear got him now
FUCK that audio to hell and back again.
Dude deserved to be eaten. Poor bear!
This guy is a drunk douchebag.
What’s with all these morons jumping into enclosures lately? Is it a tik tok challenge or something? I keep seeing these videos and it’s like people just want to get eaten alive or something.
I wish the bear fucked him up
Put the human down.
You’re stuck in here with me vibes
I was getting pissed, I thought his dumb ass was going to drown the bear.
I hate to say it, but was hoping for a different outcome. Won’t say what is was because I don’t want to be banned.
A guy beat-up a domesticated bear. His next feat of strength will be kicking a puppy.
Stay classy, Poland.
Throw him back in.
I'm saddened he didn't lose a limb. POS
I say we throw him in the lion enclosure and call it a day
What a massive cunt.
This breaks my heart. Poor Sabina
Damn. Not what I wanted to happen.
Fuck this guy.
I have been fucked up before, but I have never been "get into a fistfight with a bear while swimming" fucked up.
Ahhh too bad
I hate this human.
My 4'5" ass would drown in there
Bear in water < human in water
why do people do this to videos
I guess that in certain situations, you can fight even when it’s brown. The part about polar bears would still hold true though.
Fare thee well Baxter. You will always be friend of the bears.
What a crazy fuck holy
It happened in Poland, the man was drunk: https://youtu.be/SKOABI9mSXU
Two bears one cave?
That did not end the way I thought it would…
2 bears 1 cave. He should have brought a cup.
“Oh no that man is drowning! I’ll save him” -Bear
Good for the bear!
I was thinking I’d way rather fight this bear in the water where I think a human would actually have an advantage. And I was right!
Why put awful background music and voiceover...
They should lock that guy in a cage in a zoo for a few years and see how he likes it
That bear was just trying to save him from drowning.

Should not have had sound on, that may be the most annoying video ever made.
How many fucking random ass 'people in zoo enclosures and are in mortal danger' videos am I going to see today!? This is literally the third different one I have seen in like 4 hours!!!
Yov yaarya nee 😂
Why have I seen three videos of people jumping into animal enclosures in the last 10 minutes on my feed? Matter of fact, it was a lion, a tiger, and now this bear video.
I keep forgetting this isn't r/watchpeopledie
How did the fart sound horror game clip get taken down for not being unexpected but this is considered unexpected?
Omg! I was on the edge of my seat I thought that guy was a goner! What a fight.
Look at me, look at me...you're salmon now

The bear was clearly trying to save the idiot.

What is up with all the videos of people stuck in zoo cages on reddit today?
Did that dude just ride the bear?
Title: supposed mongolian proverb
Video: Polish zoo
Audio: Tamil comedy quotes (which yes I can understand, its a thing for us to like put comedy quotes from movies on random videos where it 'fits' as commentary)
Me: confused
That's not sumthin ya see every day ....
Evano namma paya thaan edit panneerukkaan..
Me checking the sub name once heard Vadivelu voice over.
what in the r/comedynecrophilia is this audio dawg
It's in Warsaw, Poland. I remember as a kid watching them and my parents used to look at them too, and I'm 32.
Nowadays it's closed because each year some drunk idiot went there and teased the bears.
Now those bears are in a zoo (which is located at the other side of this park)
“Stop resisting, naked ape, I’m saving you!”
That feeling when you cheer for the animal attack
Damn even the mongols got sick of Bert Kreischer.
