A teenager who was mauled to death by a brown bear and her cubs called her mom in her final moments alive.

19-year-old Olga Moskalyova called on three separate occasions during the attack, meaning that her mother was forced to listen on the phone as the ordeal unfolded.

The young woman tragically lost her life in 2011 while on a trip with her stepfather, Igor Tsyganenkov.

The pair went out to a river in the village of Termalniy, near Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy in the east of Siberia to retrieve a fishing rod Igor had left previously.

It wasn't an unusual trip, which is why Olga's mother, Tatiana, was initially shocked when her daughter called her out of the blue.

According to the Daily Star, she heard her daughter say: "Mom, the bear is eating me! Mom, it’s such agony. Mom, help!'

At first, Tatiana thought Olga was joking until she heard the sounds of 'chewing'.

She shared: "I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing. I could have died then and there from shock."

Tatiana was unaware at the time that Igor had been killed when her daughter called, having had his neck broken and his head smashed.

Olga saw her stepfather being attacked and attempted to escape the mother bear, but she caught up and grabbed her leg.

She managed to get her mom on the phone, and over the course of three different phone calls, Tatiana listened as her daughter was attacked.

In the second call, Olga said: "Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. They’re... eating me."

Her last and final call came almost an hour after the first, and indicated Olga wasn't able to fight for much longer.

She said: "Mum, it’s not hurting any more. I don’t feel the pain. Forgive me for everything, I love you so much."

Horrified, the mother had alerted the police and relatives in the village and begged them to rush to the river, but Olga was already dead and was still being eaten by the bears by the time Igor's brother arrived at the scene with police.

Tatiana paid tribute to her daughter in the wake of her untimely death, saying: "My daughter was such fun. She was so cheerful, friendly, and warm.

"She had graduated from music school, and just days before the bear attack she got her driving ­licence."
