An unidentified woman went for an unauthorized swim in the seal pool of the Berlin Zoo on Monday night, sneaking in after closing.

Unidentified Woman Sneaks Into Seal Pool

“I watched as the woman stripped to her bikini and then lowered herself into the seal pool,” a witness told a German newspaper.

According to the witness, the woman was with a man, who stood outside the pool and took pictures of the woman swimming among the seals.

The witness also said that the man and woman spoke English and looked like tourists.

The woman was not apprehended by Zoo personnel or security, but Berlin Zoo manager, Ragnar Kuehne, has stated that, should she have been caught, she would have been turned over to the police.

“The woman could have been seriously injured if the seals had bitten her,” Kuehne said.
