SOFIA, Bulgaria -- A drunken man visiting the Sofia zoo entered the compound of a Himalayan bear and refused to leave, the zoo director said Monday.

The man survived the incident Sunday without injuries because the door to the cage that held the 330-pound female beast was stuck, zoo director Ivan Ivanov said.

The 51-year-old man jumped over the fence surrounding the outside part of the bear's compound. He sat down on a piece of lumber, taunting zoo officials and police who had rushed to the scene.

"He was drinking from a bottle of liquor and shouting to the police: `Hey come on, have you got the guts to come over here?'" Ivanov said.
