KEY POINTS:
A man jumped into the Berlin Zoo enclosure of famed polar bear Knut, but
officials were able to keep the animal away by distracting it with a leg of beef.
The 37-year-old man jumped over a fence into a water-filled ditch at the edge of the bear's enclosure.
Zookeepers, who had just let Knut into his outdoor enclosure, were able to lure the bear back into its cage.
Police said the man was less co-operative, initially ignoring instructions to leave the enclosure. He was led away unharmed.
Police said that, before being let go, the man told them he felt lonely and the bear appeared lonely, too.
