Be a Predator: Polar Bear vs. Leopard Seals | Wild Life Documentary

- Mirages are shaping over the immaculate ice shelf. Close up shot of a bear inhaling the frozen air. From the bear’s point of view, we understand that... he is smelling a seal. This odour is that of a young ringed seal hidden under a thin layer of snow. A few steps and paw swipes to clear the animal and uncover a young ringed seal snack. Under the ice shelf, protected from bears by several meters of frozen ice, belugas- the white whales- are hunting halibut. In their tridimensional environment, individuals can communicate the good hunting spots while kilometres apart. The chattering of these ghost hunters is continuous.
At the South Pole, leopard seals hunt in silence. But they are nonetheless excellent tacticians. Their hunt is based on their excellent sight, experience and a perfect knowledge of their prey’s calendar. When do the parent penguins go off to feed at sea, when do they return, when are the young going to take their first bath and where exactly will they get into the water? The answers to these questions are all part of the leopard seal’s hunting culture. We follow his adventures under the surface of ice-covered bays. When his hunting season comes to an end at fall, the Northern spring wakes the polar bear which goes off to hunt. Our year in the lives of Pole predators comes to a close.

man, if i could sleep in 30 second intervals like the seal i'd be so productive, you could literally write a whole book while you sleep lol
We can feed them politicians
Trump could provide enough blubber to feed them all winter long
Why do that to the innocent polar bears? The libturds would poison them with their spoiled brain, especially with the like of The Fake Christian libturd like the one who uses the handle of Pope Francis above. These fake Christians love to free criminals to prey on us law abiding citizens but do not think twice about killing babies. That tells you they have diarrhea for brain.
Bears need the fat to survive, which Trump has tons of. There is no such shit as Christian, let alone fake Christians.
@Tony tone Imagine complaining about the intelligence of other people just to then go on and use random conspiracy theories you found after 30 seconds of googling as arguments. Hope you are still a minor or else your brain damage isn't excusable.
Yeah chill out Tony.... Have a laugh and be happy mate
Has to be one of the best polar documentaries I’ve seen
The same here 👍🏻
Same
What they don't tell you is how global warming has affected the taste of baby polar bear meat. It used to be prized for its tenderness and it tasted like veal. Now the meat taste like crap. Their fur does not get the price that it used to either. You need to kill four immature polar bears to get only half the money that a single one used to get you on the fair market
You have got to be kidding me! They got ZERO decent footage. All they did was piece together some b-roll. How in the world can you say this was “the best”? This absolutely sucked!! Zero kills, zero action. This was nothing but a production film. Ugh. “The Best”, hahaha.
This Is One Great Polar Bears Documentary I Really Love. Thanks For Sharing
I had no idea that polar bears killed belugas! News to me. Wow.
Loved this documentary, amazing, thank you.
I like how in water seals are so quick and scary and on land they're these floppy blobs
Same with emperor penguins. In the water they FLY through the sea. On land, they're these clumsy wobbly animals
The poor penguin one moment he survived the seal and the next moment got attacked by the birds...no break at all !!
The film crew in these documentaries are absolutely brilliant at what they do, it takes time to get shots like these and sometimes a long time ,so when we watch these we should remember what went into this to get such a brilliant program.
💯🔥
It's not real but CGI.
هذي قوته المهيون
Drones do a lot of filming now. Very impressive either way
Who gives af
This was a great watch. Polar Bear & Leopard Seal, two of the world's best. The music also was tremendous. Do love a bit a of Drum & Bass / Jungle.
Oh my goodness, the chubby seals getting stuck in the hole trying to dive back in all at the same time 😆
wow, this documentary is amazing...
superb job done by te whole team...
Enjoyed every min of it. Thank you so much!
An Interesting program with a beautiful commentary.
I hate it when these people try to tell you what it was like thousands of years ago for animals like it’s a fact when in reality they don’t know anymore than you or I do-especially when time after time these people get their “facts” wrong.
Research can give a rough idea, But I wouldn’t be surprised if most conclusions turned out wrong, as I’ve heard some ridiculous theories before from actual scientists
100’s of thousands of years. R-I-G-H-T you only repeat what you hear. You have been taken for a fool. There is no proof of any kind that this earth is more than 6000 years old. I SAID PROOF!!
“Leopard seal are on the very top of the food chain” killer whales: bruh
They both find life tough, but the polar bear is deemed Vulnerable on the CITES list, whereas the leopard seal is listed as Least Concern. Excellent documentary!
Awesome documentary....!
I can watch this for hours just to release my stress.
Hi Charlotte
There is way more fun an enjoyable ways to get rid of stress hun
É muito especial esse documentário..
ze mogen mij nog zoveel mogelijk zulke mooie ysbeer films geven proficiat echt prachtig
Heb je begrepen wat de verteller je verteld in deze documentaire? Het is in Engels.
Thanks for making this so easy to understand.
I love the visuals of this documentary, showing the audience what the animals are seeing and smelling. I love it
White fur with black skin, perfect for winter life on the ice
Yellowknife NWT Canada has many polar bears! Loved the north during the 80's
Weird how some chickens are like that also but live inthe tropics.
Hi 👋 friend 💖🌹
I am Pakistan 🇵🇰
I Love you 💟💟
This was the best yet. I'm going to watch this again and again. I hate to see things lose their lives, but I know how much the Predator needs fat supplies.
i kept on waiting on the commentator to not just blame global warming but educate us that donald trump personally visited the poles and ruined the super predators feeding
Jajaja....😂
Saludos desde España
Ok
Man
Feeling guilty must suck huh?
Type of dude to argue about trump at your daughter’s birthday
That video was absolutely amazing. Really enjoyed it.
Outstanding documentary.
Leopard seals are frighteningly fascinating.
Thanks for this great upload !
Sorry, but leopard seals do not live in the north of the planet but only in the south and at most they reach the coasts of southern Africa and certainly not at the north pole with sea bears.
@@giuseppedz3699 👉🏼2:58 👈🏻 Although it might seem during one scene ,it was never stated here that polar bears and leopard seals interact at the north pole. Only the two species' hunting strategies were compared.
@@PAULLONDEN I'm sorry but you're right but with that title I thought it was different then I read the introduction where everything is explained, hello and thank you
That was an excellent documentary,. Fabulous photography and well presented educational information.
Thank you, a excellent documentary! I always feel sad for the polar bear, they look so lonely and sad!
Thank u for this superb amazing documentary
EVOLUTION !

Glad to see a film with the PB feasting rather than starving. Imagine the jaw strength pulling a whale out of a hole?
@Anthony 223 Versus Einstein I'll call you wise-assed punk (WAP) since that's clearly the level you communicate on. WAP, please advise of the basis of expertise from which you derive your inarguable opinion. There is in fact GREAT variation in the animal kingdom as to jaw strength relative to size. See this WAP... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bite_force_quotient Here is another informative link on BFQ: ourplnt.com/top-22-most-powerful-bite-forces-carnivore-mammals/ In the future, WAP, reserve your uninformed arrogant idiocy for politics, where it doesn't matter how ignorant and obnoxious you are.
I cry for the animals that get eaten, but I also cry for the ones that are starving. Just can't win.
SuperMarbelle u suck
Hey I starve between my shift too
Lets raise money to use tech to create hydroponic farms for the polar bears. And 3d print dens with semi frozen slush water.
Then don't watch it, you're bringing it onto yourself. If you say I can't stop /thinking about it too much, again I say words 5-9. I suggest you build a bridge and get over it! 😎
Every animal lover goes through this feeling.
Poor young bears abandoned by their own mother ! Thank you for sharing
I have a good friend who is a marine biologist. He states that the majority of propaganda regarding polar bears starving is absurd. Non profit organizations are just looking to line their pockets.
Wow the polar bear mother would be very proud he caught one of them whales
I spent a long hour rooting for this guy!
The photographers should go ahead and help the surviving penguin. It is the only humane thing to do. Of course, most of these photographers are nothing but scum, staging photos, setting traps to allow a predator to catch an easy ambush right in front of their camera. They get no admiration from me. Do you gullible fools really think the photogs are following some code of ethics?
@@wilsonblauheuer6544 man this is life... This is animal kingdom... If they try to save penguin....Leopard will die......
The diet can't be disturbed
cảm ơn bạn đã ghi lại những thước phim hay và ý nghĩa
Editor went crazy on this 🔥 Sick AMV bro
Thank you 💛 very much for this beautiful, educational and entertaining documentary. All the winged birds, together with the polar bears was fantastic footage. Thank you for your time spent creating this amazing experience with us!!! 🎉
the ice predator
I ENJOY THIS UPLOAD KEEP IT ROCKING!!!
5 star this documentary was awesome
42:54 the penguin started spittin bars when the beat dropped 😂😂
Thanks for the amazing informative documentary .
Wow how beautiful scenery
Gods Trulove fuck up^^
It’s funny how all these “starving” bears have such full bellies. Wake up people!!
That one penguin’s head looked like it was about to fall off, but he was so determined to stay alive. I was just sitting over here like “Just give up buddy, everything will be okay”..
Losers give up. Humans could learn a thing or two from animals. Vast majority of humans are easy prey.
You gotta respect the hardship animals gotta go through day to day just to survive. Its sad what humans are doing to break this fragile existence....And our own.
Kit Kat could not agree with you more..we the people of the world are going to kill this planet
Glyphosate
crazy cowgirl "we the people of the world are going to kill this planet"
Why are you working to kill this planet? Please stop! The planet earth has been enduring global warming and cooling for over 4..5 billion years. Why can't you just leave our planet alone so it can survive another 4.5 billion years.
yes i agree,lets not kill this planet by not driving,no electricity,no make up,dont make platic........
@@kurthoman242 FFS, do some homework. It has been proven that the Polar bears are thriving and are not endangered at all. Global warming is all hype. polarbearscience.com/2019/07/11/polar-bears-are-thriving-despite-global-warming-this-short-essay-explains-why/
views is much more than subscribers this must be one of the best video love it
Best documentary I've ever seen
one penguin being beaten to death meanwhile the others
-Pretend you see nothing,trust me its fine
Aside from the global warming bullshit and polar bears evolving from another type of bear, this documentary was actually pretty good.
That was TOOO cute the way that cub tried to punch thru the ice after mom 😄😁💯💯🤣😆🤣😆
30 second sleep cycle, now that's a power nap.
They must hardly ever get polar bear seal kills on camera. From this, you would think all polar bears should be going extinct. But clearly they manage to get some
one a week, consistently...they do N OT starve like these liars want us to believe..
to preserve polar bears we should send them to the South Pole,maybe
Pengs don't stand a chance. Introducing such a predator would be their doom.
Can’t wait to do this cruise
Thanks for this great upload !
I’ll take my Happy Meal from the drive-through please. Nature is way too brutal.
how do u think u get the happy meal bruh
Interesting, amazing and informative documentary.
Precioso documental. Muy bonito.
-50 deg C with wind, perfect documentary to watch today July 10 with + 32 C outside and high humidity. :)
É muito dolorido ver um animal tão bonito sucumbir 🙁
🤭
What a incredible, beautifull and terrifying animal. Hope they will survive climate change 🙏🙏🙏 one of my favorite animals.
ayo i need to rewatch this when i’m tripping bc them added fx and flashing they put in there woulda had my mind blown
That was incredible, thank you very much!!
I pissed outside when it was -55C and my piss froze before it hit the ground it was crazy!
Lies
Beautiful Ice Bears. Woww. how to survive in a harsh environments? I wish Ice bears to have successful hunts.
Thank you Potato Bear, from Polar bear
wow the narrator man is superb ,must visit us here in south africa at kruger national park and tell us the tells about the african savannah life cycles
Wow! Beautiful docu! Love it!
This was 1 of the most fascinating and well produced animal documentaires I’ve ever seen 👌🏽
*polar bear encroaches*
Seal: "Ight, imma bout' to head out"
MERCI ET BRAVO A FELIX TSHISEKEDI
Loved it !. Appreciation from Canada.
Excellent footage!
Great video, but the audio music does not go with the documentary in my mind.
Polar Bear is a fantastic swimer🥊🥊🥊
Polar bear population has increased since the 1970s.
Good to hear. I hope that’s true.
@@culizocolonense it is, from 20K to 33K much to Al Gore’s dismay.
Great documentary on the top predators from both poles. Living in extremely tough environments that they both not only survive but excell. I know it took many hours of careful waiting. To get the right shots of predator and prey interaction.
the narrator said polar bears depend solely on seals??
While polar bears mostly go after seals, Polar bears will also take on Walrus and Beluga whales. Though the Walrus are a very dangerous prey animal with those large tusks capable of inflicting some serious damage on a polar bear. And the large Walruses form a wall around their young, making it difficult for the bear to get to them.
@@AlexZander688 Polar Bears unlike their close relative the Grizzly and Brown Bear. The Polar Bear feeds almost exclusively on meat. From Seals, Walrus, Buluga Whales, Caribou, Sea Birds and their eggs etc. Even preying on other Polar Bears.
Polar Bear is definitely the Apex predator in the North Poll. South Poll and every area they hunt I believe the Orca is the Apex.
@@Dr.Gortman the Polar Bear ( Urus maritimus) is certainly an apex predator in the North Pole. It doesn't live though in the South Pole. As it and most Bears ( Urus ) live in the Northern Hemisphere. Even though the South Pole has a variety of Seals and Penguins. Polar Bears are only found in the North Pole. Plus James Bay in Canada, Russia , Greenland , Alaska etc. 💪🏼🙏🏻✨
@@thomasgumersell9607 That’s what I said Polar Bear in the North Poll.
Orca in the South Poll.
The bear’s stalking method reminds me of a cat.
Fun fact: some polar bear remains have been discovered inside Greenland sharks. Whether scavenged from an already dead bear or from an ambush, I don't know.
Most likely scavenged.
Have to be one big shark to take a polar bear out, ambush or not
@@iceonthesun8880 Greenland sharks get as big as the biggest great whites at least in length.
What a beautiful film 🎥.. love the struggle that each species has to endure in order to survive. They don't have it easy at all. It's truly a harsh environment to live in and survive in as well. Loved this ❤️ very much. Well narrated and put together. Bloody fantastic 👏🏽 👌🏽
Why do you love their struggle? You don't struggle like that in your life.
Why do you love seeing animals have such a hard struggle? You don't sound a very nice person.
The same in the human world
But, just to clarify with all the climate scaremongering. In 1950/60 there were around 5,000 polar bears; today there are 22,000 to 31,000.
I love these documentaires
I enjoy these documentaries.
thank you for this great sad truth
I've always loved polar bears.... But leopard seals are scary af
Polarbears and Tiger are top notch!
Sweet series❤🔥
Big 👍 Super footage. Some great close-ups. Very well filmed. An enjoyable watch - Nature and the Wildlife & Birds within are the Greatest Free Show on Earth - if you have a little patience and 'see' what is around you ◕‿◕
Thanks for such a riveting and mesmerising depiction of polar bears . I am form India the land of asiatic tigers lion but I adore polar bears .
Noone gives a fuck wat u adore
@@tiscachip wow u okay there buddy? Having a bad day I see
Great documentary
Give the sound effects team a bonus 😂💸
So interesting facts about these animals how they adopts themselves in such type of environmental conditions I am interested to research on these animals
from only 6'000 in 1990 today only 30'000 remain or about 5 times more....fact and yes the Inuits are hunting them again to fight the POLAR BEAR OVER POPULATION
It's okay, you guys. They're not starving anymore. They've learned to hunt dolphins now!
Thank you for sharing. Watching from Southern California. Such a beautiful scenery 📸📽️🎥💯🐹🐋🐳🐻❄️🐻
the respect for mother's determination to feed her babies, even the larger male respected her emotions and motherhood.
18:13 like a damn crime investigator
Polar bear looks evil to eyes of humans... But they need them to reduce the animal that eats fish like seals.. so the penguins can survive... And the sardine fish can repopulate more
I don't understand any of that??
Polarbears lives in the northern hemisphere.. And Penguins on the southern. They can't get any farther from each other.
Penguins eat fish to survive.
Seals even though most likely to eat penguins also eat a lot of fish to survive since hunting fish is a lot easier.
Most animals & sea creatures also eat fish to survive so their population might drop fast if not given enough time to repopulate.
So, having polar bears around to reduce the population of seals can help lessen the consumer of fishes thus giving some time for fishes to repopulate.
THX mate!!!
