(Pictured: Thomas Kokta) - These once-in-a-lifetime images show the exact moment a polar bear and her cubs emerged from their den. The adorable shots we taken by Thomas Kokta, a determined photographer who spent more than ELEVEN DAYS waiting for the bears to emerge. In his quest for the perfectly-timed pictures, Thomas faced strong winds, temperatures of -55 Celsius, and estimates that he kept watch over the den for 250 hours before having any luck. Eventually, though, the mother bear emerged with her two-month-old cubs much to Thomas delight. -
