A starving polar bear has been approaching homes in an Artic outpost for help after getting its tongue caught inside a tin can.
Extraordinary footage shows the wild animal pleading for human help in Dikson, northern Russia, as it has been unable to eat after getting its tongue lodged in an empty can of condensed milk.
The polar bear can be seen approaching one resident who had been standing on his porch.
The man can be seen trying to remove the sharp-edged can from the polar bear's mouth, but can only get so far as the animal's tongue is wedged too deeply inside the can.
A team of vets arrived at the remote village after a 2,125 mile air and road journey plagued by bad weather and managed to sedate the female polar bear and remove the tin can.
