It’s a fact of nature that smaller and more vulnerable animals tend to fall prey to their larger and more fierce counterparts. Rarely will an apex predator come across something that could be a meal and turn off its predatory instincts to not harm that animal. However, that’s exactly what happened at the Berlin Zoo. It was there that a cat found itself inside an 800-pound bear’s enclosure as employees and bystanders watched in amazement at what would happen only seconds later.
On Edge
In 2000, at the Berlin Zoo, zookeepers and guests were observing the enclosure of an Asiatic bear named Mäuschen when they were completely taken aback by a stray black house cat that managed to wander into the bear’s dangerous enclosure at the zoo.
Onlookers rightfully feared that they were about to watch the docile cat, which they would later name Muschi, get killed right in front of their very eyes.
