Despite the efforts of six zookeepers to distract the four bears, one of them repeatedly bit Mandy on her arms and legs.
Fortunately, the zookeepers were able to scare the bear away and rescue Mandy.
She is now recovering in the hospital after undergoing surgery to treat her wounds.
It was later revealed that Mandy is a teacher who had been driven to despair by her struggle to find a job.
