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 workers could only get in touch with us at the end of their work stint, as they had no communication link at the base," Andrey Gorban, director of Royev Ruchei Zoo, explained. "We were told that the men were leaving back to the mainland, and the cub had stayed there alone, so our only hope was that they left quite a big open rubbish site, so there was a chance that the cub could feed off it for weeks."
