Lulea lost her leg aged twelve when a bear grabbed her leg while she was leaning against the railings of the bear's enclosure at a zoo. Once she freed herself from the bear's grip, she went to pick up her jacket but slipped and the bear grabbed and pulled her in again. The bear seriously bitten her leg and her leg injury was so severe that doctors had to amputate her leg from the knee down.[3]
