The video shows how the beast was sedated and then a vet used pliers to remove the tin.

Mikhail Alshinetsky, chief vet of Moscow Zoo, said: 'It's a bear cub, female, about two years old.

'The tin got stuck and its lid clamped down on the tongue.

'The animal spent a few days with a tongue stuck, and the tongue became swollen. The bear was unable to drink or eat.

'We successfully sedated her, removed the tin, and gave antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications.'
