- Bertie Gregory is back, and this time, the adventures are even more epic! Bertie takes us to the most spectacular corners of our planet - from Antarctica to Africa and South America to Asia - tracking down extraordinary animals to capture their daily lives like never before. Armed with drones, state-of-the-art cameras, and underwater tech, he and his team brave subzero seas, climb snow-capped mountains, and sleep suspended 120 feet in the air to reveal the challenges these animals endure, their fierce rivalries, and the threats they face on our changing planet. ANIMALS UP CLOSE WITH BERTIE GREGORY shows all the behind-the-scenes moments he and his team face while adapting to unpredictable wildlife in remote environments where filming rarely goes as planned. There is no script for this unique series, but through it all, Bertie brings the audience with him every step of the way.

Too late for poor seal🦭

she has too much cofidence, only to meet its end..

OK. Viva National Geograpic Channel and National Geograpic World./Wild and Discovery Channel and BBC Earth and Ozone Network and Animal Planet USA 2020.-2021.-2022.-2023.-2024.!!!!!.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
We just witnessed the pure intelligence both of these animals have
@@am_caylusgo touch grass
There's nothing to witness. The video is all narration, we can't even see the seal
@@Dmdm_dm Look again. At least I see the seal in its mouth.
@@LayllasLocker yes, but if it doesn't show you the process of the hunt and it's all unclear edits, then it's pointless. Lots of these documentaries are fake in the sense that they just edit completely different scenes to turn them into a story
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 keep it to yourself hypocrite
Humpbacks: stop hunting our calves!
Orcas: We are hunting seals, see here!
That’s amazing! So glad the team was there to capture it on film.
Way better to see such amazing creatures on film than in captivity!
whales should not be in captivity
Whales attempt to stop it whilst humans film it.
@@tamsinjm I mean, orcas don't take our children, so we don't have a reason to disrupt it. Also, I believe the whales would love to film it if they were capable of doing so 😀
Are you sure it was film? Most video recording devices people use this day and age is digital.
@@tamsinjm humans do not share habitat with killer wales and do not usually interact with each other
Humpback whales are the keepers of the ocean
And orcas are the rulers of the ocean
@@Hourvarywrong!
That is so true! You said that perfect
You said that so perfectly
@shawnjones4527 no he's right. Orcas rule the oceans with an iron 👊🏼
Whales are incredible creatures
It’s insane that these animals both know exactly what they’re doing, not just being curious but actual intents to what they’re doing
If only humans were this smart
@@br.mwe are.
its actually not insane at all. arrogant humans that think they are the epitome of creation may find it insane. but anyone with half a brain that pays attention to nature, even those that only remotely pay attention, would not be surprised in the least by other animals displaying signs of intelligence.
@@br.m yeah you are the proof.
@@ruffgook You have no idea how right you are bye.
It’s incredible these animals can live in freezing cold or warm water
These mammals are so intelligent......they are just amazing. Shame for the poor seal😢....but the Humpbacks did try their best to disrupt the hunt ...amazing footage. Thanks for sharing. 🎥👌🐋🐳
Mother nature never fails to amaze me, all these creatures have so much more intelligence and feelings than we ever thought possible. The hunting of whales killing a porpoises and killer whales. It’s such a tragedy. I wonder why they even let us photograph them. Great video. thank you.
God's creation is amazing
It's amazing to know, that whales have empathy. Update: Look up, "A Whale Saved My Life" here on CZcams.
They're not the only mammals known to exhibit empathy as well as other 'emotions' ..
Don’t killer whales hunt humpback whales?
@@olgakim4848 they can (especially calves), but humpback whales are better able to defend themselves against orcas than most other whale species, particularly with the barnacles that grow on their flippers and tail.
@MiZzBee1214 Absolutely! There are animals, that are more humane than alot of humans.
@@dulynoted2427
I completely agree!
I think these animals in the world have more feelings than have been studied or we know. . Such phenomenal beauty ❤❤
So true, I couldn't agree more.
Since they have the same style of nervous system and brain that we do, they have to.
Poor seals, but truly amazing.
Sorry for the seal. Life is cruel. Lucky day for the killer whale and her calf. Love the humpback coming to the rescue even it's too late.
This is like lion vs hyena level stuff, except in an ocean, instead of the grasslands. Fantastic!
Yes, I just commented about the animosity between lions and hyenas before I saw your comment.
I would say like elephant vs. lion!
@@vucov True.
No it's not because lions and Hyenas struggle and fight over the "same" prey...
Whereas Humpback whales merely try to fend off occasional killer whale attacks of their young offspring, and not vice versa etc. 🙂
@@original2758exactly. But the taunting is the same😅
Gojira was right in writing a metal song about whales.
That penguin was thinking "Better you than me" 😅
For that day
Orca was like. "Now what?“
Animals teach us compassion, friendship, empathy and love
sometimes rage, sagavery, and more things thats in their nature.
And killer whales teach us a 'nyah nyah how ya like me now' brand of wit.
...and revenge
Have you ever seen a bear eat a prey while it is still alive, for hours while it suffers.
@@terrymckenzie8786 That's how birds of prey kill things, too. They eat them to death.
I don't think the killer whale is showing the seal as a sign of "you didn't stop us" but more as "look this is not one of you" in an attempt for the humpback whales to leave, they know that even if they have already succeeded in this hunt the others are still much larger and they will not be able to keep hunting safely until peace is achieved!
yeh, seems more likely to me
agreed.
I don't think so. Orcas can't take on adult humpbacks
That's also my interpretation. It's just a way of showing them they are not after some calves of them but just regular seals.
I can't imagine humpback whales would give a f about seals.
@@Asto508 There are more than a few videos of Humpbacks attempting to drive orcas away from seals. I doubt it is for protection of the seals and more likely the fact orcas hunt humpback calves for their tongues. Whales do have memories.
The level of intelligence of these animals is simply amazing.
They can't even do algebra. Even my little cousin Jim Bob can do algebra, and his level of intelligence is definitely not amazing.
You just have to appreciate what national geographic are doing. Just making contents of our dear pets are difficult, let alone the entire animal kingdom and the planet. I only dream is to be an wildlife and animal documentary creator myself. Thankyou NG
"Killer whales sometimes take humpback calves" So basically just the humpback whales being protective parents. 👀🐋🐋
But there is no calves?
It’s more like spite.
They actually take adults too
Their only problem is is that they're too slow. If they could swim a little faster then they probably could've saved that seal's life in time.
'take'..... I think he meant 'consume' there, maybe slip of the tongue.
Some killer whale pods specialize in hunting whale calves (humpback whales included), others hunt sharks, or seals and so on. I wouldn't be surprised if a pod would go after a vulnerable adult whale if given the chance
The more science and discovery is observed with Orca, the more we are inspired to understand them, their ingenious methods and behaviors. Their intelligence truly amazes us and connects humanity to fight for their survival.
That is the scary part. Orcas have been killing to eat kidneys only..not a natural order of things. Those humpbacks were making them stop for a reason. Orcas have been losing it out there for some reason. Also sinking boats in another part of the ocean. They know something we don't. That I do believe.
I love how they meet each other in the post game lobby to say "GG" to one another
Drones are such a god send for recording ocean life
that must have been an amazing experience
I think this guy wrote the book- voices of whales. The audio book has sound clips in it. It's an amazing book.
1:13 that seal taking its last breath is so sad.
It’s the last place on Earth that’s not dominated by smelly humans. A place where wildlife is still wild.
The edge of the ice wall!!!
Except...OUR microplastics are embedded deep BENEATH their blubber. Us humans still "dominate" (more like destroy) the oceans and the majestic creatures within.
Don't worry it's coming and national geographic was the one who started it
@angstvision7108 yes there's the comment I was waiting on
There are humans on Antarctica, and they’re quite smelly because there is little running water.
Just discover Bertie's show yesterday and I was simply amazed by the quality of the content. BEST I have ever seen!!!
Orca: (in a sing song tone) I have a seal! I have the seal! Nan nanana 😝😋😑
😂
Whales can definitely be so smart! We even know that sperm whales developed a strategy to protect the calves from orcas! Our crew even showed evidence that sperm whales also came up with a system to avoid whalers!
Wow this is amazing!! I never knew this and to see it had to have been incredible!! Thank you for sharing this!!! ❤❤
I want it to be september 13th already so i can binge watch all the episodes😍 ahh i'm so excited!!! cannot wait!!!!!!
That seal is a ball, so cute, so sad 😢.
I love Whales! God's beautiful creatures! ❤
Whales and Petunias are both awesome.
Maybe they were showing the seal to the humpbacks to assure them it wasnt one of their babies?
Maybe they didn't care if it was or wasn't and just wanted to show dominance either way. It WOULD be cool to know if they did know, but life in the wild is sometimes hard to watch. But the education is great
My cat does this all the time to my dog whenever she plays with his toys like nah you ain’t stopping me then runs up the cat pole to hide 😂
I would give everything to know exactly what everyone is thinking !! Incredible possibilities !! Incredible Creatures !!
Humpbacks really said "Its on sight."
High, amazing footage!!! I just got back from the Antarctica. It was made clear to me that “killer whales are NOT whales, but a species of DOLPHINS.
His mind is completely blown.
This is so cool and interesting, I should have gone for Biology instead of Sysadmin....
Them humpbacks and Orcas are way smarter than we'll ever know it amazes me how intelligent they are, really.🙂
I saw this happen years ago on 'The Undersea World Of Jacques Cousteau' except the ORCA showed the Cousteau divers the sharks they had just killed.
❤ Animals absolutly amazing ❤ marine mamals are my favorite ❤
Vigilante humpback whales, gives me goosebumps.
Incredible footage of the drone shot with the snow falling. Magic
First time I've seen snow from that perpective and I live where it snows half the year.
amazing footage....thanks!
That is so amazing! Nature is cool.
"There's always a bigger fish" - Qui Gon Jinn
Maybe they were showing the humpback whales it wasn't a humpback calf. "See, big guys it is only a seal."
Killer whales to the humpbacks: “I give notre dame what you think.”
This is like literal Whale Wars, unlike that show of the same name on Animal Planet.
humpback whales are like the one docile but huge guy in class who doesnt usually interfere between rowdy boys, but the rowdy boys know better than to aggravate the big guy 😁
humpback whales are just out there protecting “the little guy”
Majestic beautiful creatures . 🐳❤
The humpbacks just left saying ""We are disgusted"".
Love Orca's.
Wow. The orcas could have attacked the poor humpbacks, as those bullies usually do...
To think the humpbacks are still brave enough to help the seals- humpbacks are truly amazing- the best! 🙏 💕
Magnificent
Thanks for this its awesome
Remember, this is whales vs dolphins.
Knowing that orcas drown & eat baby whales, this is all the more touching...
That’s unbelievable! I had no idea either of them display such behavior.
Everyone is amazed by the interaction between the humpback whales and killer whales. Meanwhile the seal was like, “what am I? Chopped liver…oh”
"And the orca has flipped off the humpbacks, what an amazing sight!"
Poor seal was still alive. SEAL LIVES MATTER
I’m not sure what’s more impressive, the whales themselves, or our innate desire to narrate and give meaning to what’s an everyday occurrence in nature.
Riiiiight!! 😂😂😂
I’m leaning towards the whales being more impressive.
It's not that it's an everyday occurrence, but that he was giving human meaning when he really has no clue what is going on. For all he knows the Killer Whale hunt somehow disrupted the Humpback feeding.
@@LittleBitofHopeToo2518 that’s exactly what I’m getting at.
@@charlesliew660 I don't disagree with your premiss. But we really don't know if it is an everyday occurrence. THAT is the point. We don't know.
Thank you so much for sharing...What an amazing story ...The Killer whales, Orcas, have really been behaving quite odd lately...tearing the rudders off of boats and proudly breaching, with them in tow, to show, " Everyone, " what they had done! Lol!
But this is just BAD manners! The Humpbacks tried to save the seal...😢
I have been so fascinated, all my life, with the creatures of the sea...but terribly afraid of them and the water they live in, also...Still loving them from this side of your cameras!
Thank you...
They are among the 5 most intelligent animals in the world if I am not mistaken.
So what you are saying is the orcas showed as much concern for the matriarch of their pod for being injured by a boat as the humpback did for the seal? Or the humpback lost a calf and decided to foil a later hunt either way both species are sentient beings more so than humans and for the record orcas wolves of the sea have never hurt humans only positive interactions between us and them in the wild amazingly intelligent creatures
@@lukeskywanker7839Most of the attacking orcas seem to be doing it for fun. They’re not attacking the humans, just the boats, particularly the rudder. They appear to enjoy snapping them off and playing with them.
@@evilsharkey8954 keep telling uself that
@@vyhozshu If they really wanted to hurt humans, they’d be doing a lot more damage than rudder breaking and the occasional sinking of small boats.
Where can I Watch this full documentary?
And what is the name of this episode
They are amazing 😊😊😊😊😊
Absolutely jawdropping! Of course the orca are doing what they must to survive, and yet you can't help but feel empathy both for the humpbacks (and for the seal, of course). I've seen the videos of orca killing humpback calfs and fully-grown whales. And also basically tormenting and playing with prey only to leave it fatally wounded to drift to the bottom. They are much more like human in their seeming capacity for both playfulness and cruelty. Which probably also explains why they just swam straight towards to humpbacks to show off their catch. Is that anything other than taunting?
yes it could easily be something other than taunting. I do this with my rescue birds all the time, they freak out over towels, so I will use it on myself & show them it's for ME, I'm not using it to catch them, so as to calm them. Orcas could easily be doing it specifically to communicate to them that the hunt is not for their babies & so they can relax & back off on this day at least
Orca are a dolphin species and dolphins are psychotic by nature
Humpback whales = absolute angels
I don’t think the killer whales were saying “ look we got it” , I think they were saying” we didn’t want a calf, we just wanted the seal “ 😊
Nah i doubt that its orcas we talking about they literally play catch with their food😂😂
Killer whales have a history of being the psycho ones
The cats of the ocean.
Wolves of the Sea. Actually.
@@andreaoverstreet6230
@@andreaoverstreet6230like actually
I like to think the seal got away and is living his best life…
aww :) hes in seal heaven now
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING!
Humpback whales are very nice animals, big eyes, very friendly
You mean the orcas said “Nana nana boo boo”
Cant believe the killer whales flashed their mastery like that
How is that they disrupted the hunt when the Orca has the seal in its mouth I call that a successful hunt with onlookers!
These rivalries run deep.
That's exactly what they were doing, "OK, humpy's, you can go now. So we can eat in peace." neener neener! haha LOL
Nature is amazing!
Humpback whales are awesome! ❤
Orcas are the wasps of the ocean.
Wolves not wasp.
clearly you misunderstood the intent of my comment. Wasps are pri
I think it was more of a curiosity than distraction. With the warming oceans and magnetic fields changing, we can't predict the outcomes of life on earth. Nothing has ever been stable, and nothing is ever truly known.
Beautiful footage.
Nature is often beautiful, but on the flip side, it's horrendous.
Amazing animals, all three are. But the Orca's are something else....
There are some serious grudges between humpback whales and orcas. You can say they hate each other to death.
Amazing💜💜
Plot twist. The seal was the friend of the humpback whales
Antarctica is a continent and since this didn't take place on land, I believe this took place in the Antarctic. Which is the name of the region around and including Antarctica.
"''Ello, 'ello, what's going on 'ere, then?" - humpback bobby
That is incredible. Wow.
I haven't heard "killer whale" in a while.
I remember reading about the beef between orcas and humpback whales
They are so amazing..whales are so incredible I really love to watch shows on them likes one.they are so intelligent
Humpback whales are the elephants of the oceans.
