Just trying to feed the bears

A polar bear attacked a woman at Berlin Zoo Friday afternoon after she climbed a fence and jumped into its habitat during feeding time.

The woman was severely injured and was being treated at a hospital. It's unclear why the woman entered the bear habitat, but police issued her a citation for trespassing.

A wedding dress for the birds

If you want to stand out on your wedding day, this dress made up of 2009 peacock feathers could be just the ticket.

The $1.5million creation was made at a wedding dress factory and took eight workers 40 days to sew together.

An average male peacock sheds around 200 feathers during his annual moult – meaning the makers would have had to have harvested the feathers from more than ten birds over the course of a year.
