Two bear cubs froze to death after their mother was woken up by 'drunks' who attacked the adult bear with a chain saw, forcing it to flee their den.
The cubs were found by hunting experts who were patrolling a forest in the Anuchinsky district in the Far East of Russia.
The young animals were abandoned by their mother who got scared off by a group of woodcutters.
Police have established the identities of the men who disturbed the bear, but not released their names.
