In the small enclave of Dikson, Russia, a lone and starving Polar Bear tried to get human help after getting its tongue stuck inside an old can. The can is so tightly wedged onto the bear's tongue that locals who tried to free the bear were forced to give up. A team of vets from Moscow Zoo are travelling to the village to help save the bear's life....if they can get there in time

The footage in this link is absolutely heartbreaking...

It is quite incredible how a predator like a Polar Bear will purposely seek out humans to get help like that

I really hope the Bear can be saved, especially after it made so much effort to get help like that

According to the article, the vets have sedated the bear and removed the can. They'll be treating her for cuts to the tongue and monitoring for a few days then she'll be released well away from human populations.

Glad they were able to help the bear

It is quite incredible how a predator like a Polar Bear will purposely seek out humans

And were smart enough to tranquilize it.

It could just be smarter than the average bear and it's plot was foiled.
