Defying the Odds
Polar bear makes miraculous recovery after breaking a leg . . .
and then stuns vets by giving birth to two adorable cubs
The female bear has been pictured with her second set of cubs along Bernard Spit in Alaska
In 2009, the same bear suffered a near fatal broken leg and it was thought she would have to be put down
But she has learned to deal with the impairment even though her leg hangs and dangles over

Mr Kazlowski said the bears are doing all the natural things you would expect them to do

Re: Defying the Odds
Just how fantastic is that. You wouldn't believe that an animal that size could survive with a broken leg, never mind have two sets of Cubs. She is clearly not suffering, and is coping well with the disability. You can see that from how healthy the Cubs look, hopefully she will go on for many more years.

What an incredible story and also what an incredible Polar Bear she is animals just stun me all the time, they are so brave and adapt better than we do and she is living proof of that, having a normal life with two healthy cubs, she really does need applauding
