Girl, 3, saved from bear pen
Both father and daughter needed to be hospitalised, but their wounds were not life-threatening, police in Trier said.
The incident occurred when the 34-year-old man, his wife and their two children were visiting the Luenebach zoo in southwest Germany. While her parents were not watching, the girl scrambled over the approximately three-foot high fence and fell into a moat, police said.
Though her father climbed after her quickly, the 28-year-old Asiatic black bear had already hit the girl's forehead, injuring here, police said in a statement.
