Orphaned Polar Bear Loves To Hug The Arctic Workers Who Saved Her Life (Pics & Video)

Life in the wilderness is extremely tough for an orphaned animal, even though it is one of the largest predators on Earth. This baby polar bear found herself in a desperate situation, after her mom sadly passed away.

The bear was all alone on the island Bolsehvik, on the Russian territory of the Arctic Circle. She was attracted by the smell of food coming from a group of people that were working at a gold mine on the island. Although there are extremely strict rules that forbid the feeding of polar bears, the miners have broken them in order to save the starving animal.
