SAN DIEGO, CA

Officials at the San Diego Zoo confirmed today that a woman has died from injuries sustained while trying to obtain a Polar Bear cub.

33 year old Danielle Manson of Irvine, CA, hopped a fence into the Polar Bear enclosure and attempted to grab a newborn cub before the cub’s mother attacked. “She didn’t hesitate” said an eyewitness. “I almost couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

Hours after the attack, videos surfaced on YouTube.com taken from camera phones at the scene. The site has since removed all videos.

When authorities searched Ms. Manson’s home, they discovered twenty-two pairs of other animals. They included dogs, cats, birds, turtles and squirrels. Officials believe she was trying to create a modern-day ark.
