A vet has revealed the tragic story of polar bear that will never walk again after being shot over 30 times.
The stricken bear - named 'Dikson' after the island it was found on - was taken to a Moscow zoo from Siberia after a cruel gunman let rip on the creature, leaving it without the full use of its hind legs.
It is likely Dikson was shot when it disturbed a settlement on the Arctic island while in search of food.
