There is a certain kind of link I never follow on YouTube, and the polar bear attack in a Berlin zoo is of that sort.

However, the still photograph I saw this morning of a woman smilingly and purposefully swimming toward a polar bear made me click the YouTube link, as it promised to give me some sort of insight into what kind of state a person would need to be in to swim happily toward a zoo polar bear.

Maybe more than the size of the bear I wondered about the murky green water.

But, my intial instincts were validated  after I clicked: I didn’t see the pre-attack fooage of her swimming toward the bear. Just some difficult rescue moments with a biting bear, a busted lifesaver, and a tall concrete wall.
