When he screamed at the ground... I felt that.
😖😢 me too
that was soo sad to watch, it knows that it will die.
Sad
Yeah it probably knew it was done for...feels bad man.
T-T rip polar bear
Polar bear: Im the largest and most powerful land predator, fear me Walrus: Im thicc

Lmao
Gotta put on mass bro!

Walrus are super massive and to see a very well built adult Polar Bear beside them is equally terrifying and amazing.
Equally astonishing is they couldn't help sneaking in their 'ice melt' propaganda piece at the end of the video.😁😄😃🧊
@@Lepsaeus you sound crazy.
@@dexterramey8787 It's not me, it's indeed the BBC at 5:58.😁 I can smell Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group 🙵 Operation Earnest Voice trolling bull** in your retort.🤡
@@dexterramey8787 It's not me, it's indeed the BBC at 5:58. goodvibes😁 I can smell JTRIG and/or Operation Earnest Voice trolling bull** in your retort.🤡
@@Lepsaeus I had to Google what all that mess even meant. Almost all scientists agree this is a problem. Check Joe Rogan podcast where he talks to Candace Owens about this. Everything ain't propaganda or a conspiracy. You at the very least are paranoid.
2:40 I like how the birds are relaxed when the bear is trying to kill the walrus.
Me: Walruses RUN! oh no please don't hurt them bear!! Also me: Oh no the bear is hurt and needs to eat a walrus!!
GamesR4reaL ah yes, yes in deed... the circle of life is a bitch! But, necessary.
Polar bears are more endangered its pretty sad to see such a beautiful animal parish
Yes hahaa
@@cjsteg3623 Darwin rules, adapt or die. Neanderthals developed because of climate change 500,000 years ago. They were a product of a ice age.
humans killed for fun he need it for survive
It’s like see a lot of food options but no Money
Samuel Kidane ahaha
life in a nutshell
Lol.... U remind me back in the Philippines I can only buy little snack food so much all kind of snack food but not enougth money to call myself " i am full".
😂😂😂😂👌
U could always just sink your teeth into the food if it means for your survival.
This is a living being giving his all in what he knows is his last chance to survive, failing and not only realizing he's failed but everyone around him realizing he's failed too. It is fascinating and cruel, but it is merely the simplicity of nature.
The bear was like "Damn, what kind of seals is these" 😅
Polar bears are massive but these walruses make him look like a cub..!!!
Even if they just laid there - bear can't handle that much meat .
@@michaelclayton3114 It's mostly blubber and thick skin though
Lost half his weight b4 he got 2 island hmmm
I wander which predator is able to kill and eat an adult walrus
Omvrios Zeus humans
Didn’t realize how big those things were until I saw the bear walk up
no doubt polar bears are enormous and it was dwarfed by the male walruses
@Commander Wolffe I guarantee if he was twice as big he’d still look tiny compared to them
Same I was shocked
I mean if the bear weighed an average 1,000 pounds it’d win against the walrus
I was also not prepared
I love the fact that after all the bear lays down right by the herd
I felt so bad for that bear, alone and starving. The wilderness is such a harsh mistress. It definitely was an amazing battle to see, poor creature…I hope he is at peace now.
He killed not because he wanted to kill but because he wanted to survive and not to starve to death😢
@@Moldraiva Replace German TV with scientists around the world and your comment is a little bit less nonsense. BBC is literally British...
I felt the same when a polar bear mauled one them to death.
Feel free to take a trip up to the arctic and wish it good will
Well, he is actually lucky they didnt gang up on him, eating him...
*bear bites walrus* me: omg no i can‘t watch this, too sad *walrus escapes from bear* me: oh poor bear, you nearly got him
Right 😊
Life,uh...finds a way...
We must emphasize with the struggles of all animals---including fellow humans.
@Max Larsen Why's everybody giving her a hard time?
@Max Larsen Way to tell us how ya' REALLY feel. 👍
Bird at 2:58 Ight imma head out
Yo I didn't notice. That's hilarious 😂
Lol
😂
Underrated af lmao
Lmao he didn’t want none of that
Man I know this sucks, but I was actually hoping the bear would get a meal... This is so heart breaking.
he did they lying to you to promote global warming. he ate 4 birds and a dead fish and 2 seal pups
Sir David Attenborough is pure joy to listen to.
dont you love that whenever a polar beat is attacking or eating, there's a seagull just being the most quiet witness? like "oh a murder is happening in front of me. ok go off"
Yea dem seagulls waiting on summa dat meat lolll
2:08 there is a courageous. The courageous 2 sec later "what the fuck am i doing "
The Seagulls are always there. Watching.........
Seagul like white zetsu just observing every fight in the animal kingdom And then recording it
sick polar beats
You knew it was gonna be a good day in class when you heard this mans voice
David Attenborough?
Bertie Gregory’s a good one too lol
His voice it's extremely boring
Sorry Bert, but we're sick of you farting in your sleep.
@@lucasmckenzie8525 what have you known honestly basically you dont known that beacuse you don't known that person unless you are joking which to me is not funny honestly!
5:25 what a gut wrenching moment, life really does suck ass
Fuck bears man. Anyone who really knows them understands why our ancestors hunted them down. They're brutal, cruel, and love inflicting pain. They will eat you alive. I saw one tearing down a live moose, ripping chunks of flesh and gobbling them down.
Why is it gut wrenching? Why isnt it gut wrenching that he almost killed a mother walrus with a baby who will become motherless?
@@checkerslane Stupid bear/lion/wolf/coyote lovers
@@jean-edouardahmedozzi6120 I wonder what vegan think when they see a lion eating a zebra while it's still alive
@@WildBill.69. They don't think, they just feel. These people barely have functional brains.
I love the gulls just vibing right next to it all
5:49 - the way he has his eyes close with his back turned to the enemy while the dying sunlight gently covers him
Circle of life💓
It was shortly after this encounter that the bear would be approached by Coca-Cola for an absolutely life changing opportunity.
I’m weak
😂😂🙆♂️
Vow
Vow
lmaoo
an, David Attenborough’s narration always makes me nostalgic thinking about watching his films and such as a kid
Bear: *literally trying to scare and bite the shit off the walrus* Those two birds at the left corner: *chillin like nothings wrong*
Ever wondered why smaller animals seem to have better reflexes? Yeah, smaller beings has their life playing at 0.50x speed, and this polar bear is a clown in slow motion for them.
The bird thought the bear only want intercourse
@@vivenzeo no wonder I have trouble catching flies
Surely there was at least one walrus in the group that no one liked. They could've easily sacrificed him to the bear and still have a big family.
Unfortunately that only works with lambs, hence the term ‘sacrificial lamb.’ 🤷🏽♂️
Literally the dumbest comment possible.
@@35oz19g its not dumb it makes sense, there might of been a walrus that was being a dick
@@35oz19g It's called a Joke.
They have their liberals too
I always root for the prey but this one got me in the feels. 😭 Couldn’t the polar bear catch fish somewhere like the brown ones do?? There’s gotta be something it can eat!
Bears can't catch fish in the open ocean, as the fish will just swim away. They need a river with fish swimming up it to spawn that they can catch.
@@xanderbackus447 They can’t catch seals in the open ocean either The video is somewhat of a farce. That’s actually a pretty healthy bear. They can last weeks without a meal if their fat storage is high, as with the bear in the video,
Aaaaa humans feeding him cause its our fault what's hes going through
Fish community : we want to live too
@@danhernandez6235 not really if humans feed him there wouldnt be humans bc yk polar bears actually hunt humans for food
The seagull is like stop fighting you guys oh, a loose feather, let me preen it.
Dude making the video can’t help my homie out with a burger or something ?
Matty Lockman that’s wat I was thinking 😂😂
U said a burger lmao that won't even lesson his hunger pains lol. A WHOLE seal barely helps out a polar bear
Hi
Camera man did offer fries but they were cold from the arctic climate. So the polar bear politely declined and died a peaceful death.
Why give the bear indigestion and heart problems???
It's like the club when the lights come on, desperation.
Haha lmfa😂😂😂💯
That was breathtaking! As there was no kill especially a young one i could watch the whole video an enjoy..😁
David Attenborough sees an animal miss a kill and proceeds immediately to make us feel guilty for driving to work.
dam polar bear went out swinging RIP bro see you upstairs
le you: *dies* hey its that polar bear i saw on natgeo polar bear: *450kg of white furred furry charges at you* le also you: *surprised pekachu face*
@@needs_more_dakka5774 let professional shitposter
I expected to see a video of a villainous bear laying waste to a helpless walrus colony. Didn't realize how friggin huge a walrus grows. You wind up pulling for the poor bear. Awesome video.
That shield wall is impenetrable 😂
Polar Bear- the crap I gotta go through just to get a meal.
Man, David Attenborough’s narration always makes me nostalgic thinking about watching his films and such as a kid
David is a colossus of biology.
He was pretty good in Jurassic Park, I guess.
@@Toy1er that was Richard
@@Kennedy1op that's David's brother 👍
@@jonathanbaron-crangle5093 nah Richard was in Jurassic Park though. I've seen it too many times.
I was rooting for the polar bear, I was thinking it was going to a least catch one or one that was weak, but damn... seeing that ending where the bear just roared at the ground and laid there broke my heart.
Waiting for the 2nd chance
Man sometimes you lose
I was rooting for the walruses…but I hate to see the bear go out sad.
If I saw the polar bear specifically chasing you down, I would root for the poar bear as well.
Very sad
Never thought I'd ever feel sorry for a fiercesome polar bear. So many walrus just 1 bear. 😔😪
Hello Anne how are you doing over there?
Camera man, give him a fish. 😭
This just shows how hard survival really is many taking life, food water for granted
This is life. This is life before man, this is life with man, this is life after man. The struggle is real.
This is why social animals exist, if you don't do well, but someone else from you group did, you get to survive a season, because next season maybe you do well and he doesn't. If you're solo, if you don't hit jackpot, that's the end of your lineage.
Yeah that's why I don't throw away expired food
Yep at least we were born human
Yes athiests
How can I one minute be hoping the Walruses get away and then the next I’m shedding a tear for the bear Damn you BBC and your emotive cinematography
I did not shed a tear for the MF-ing free-loading murderous-maniac bear. Let the MF suffer and pay for his murderous crimes.
If they can do this for predators, imagine what they could do with narratives around humans.
Wow, you're so self-confident, you're amazing, your channel is so beautiful
imagine there was being made a documentary on walrus at the same time here. who would you cheer for?
This is when the walrus know who their real homies are when they need them most.
How the bear laid down and cuddled up in defeat is me every Monday morning b4 work
😫
Lame 😂
I feel you man. Many of us have to do utterly dull and exhausting work on the daily. Trapped in a treadmill of misery, heading for burnout.
All that food and still, nothing to eat! Now that's HELL!!🤣😂🤣
His food is bigger then he is , & alive & kicking so to speak ! Impressive he gets to eat sometimes, yeah bear 🐻 💝
2:54 lmao look at the birds just chilling
It was impressive to see how the walrus family protect each other.
If only humans could learn from them :)
Where did you see this?
By stabbing each other
They Didn't protect 😔 they ran shyd..like out the way to water..😆
A new title: Hungry bear sleeping nearby 100 tons fresh meat.....😆
He could not bear hunger anymore, his fate was sealed.
😆
ElephantRage well played...very well played
Too soon
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hah and people say you can't make fun of death
Couldnt help but cry😭😭😭
It is amazing how people capture this type of footage without being killed themselves by the animals which I never understood. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
I felt that when he just roars at the ground and lays in it slowly like he lost
Felt that too it only gets harder for em from then on.
2:44 😂the bird is just chilling like nothing is happening 😂
Какая красота. Спасибо Автору за видео обзор Нашей Планеты Земля. Всем Здоровья.
5:25 That's kinda heartbreaking
Didn't realize that a polar bear would be so small next to a walrus. Sheesh.
Rxonmymind Rxonmymind me neither
That's not how it works, the fat ones are always eager. lol
They are pretty formidable, same as Hippos or Lions, lions wouldn't go for them, unless truly desperate.
Maybe it's a young polar bear
its a young polar bear
LMAO "...that he can BEAR-ly walk" 5:12
What a legendary Video ✅
I lived in Barrow Alaska. I had an acquaintance who was stalked and eaten by a Polar Bear. Polar Bear populations have grown tremendously in the last 50 years, and only slight decline recently. They're magnificent animals, and they're not in any danger of extinction.
That's good to hear. tired of constantly hearing, "Global Warming" Be afraid be very afraid muahahaha.
You can read studies from Yale that will tell you Polar Bear population has been on the decline for decades and their body mass has been decreasing . . .
@@paradigm2002 1950 polar bear population = 5,000 1985 polar bear population = 25,000 2015 polar bear population = 30,000
There are multiple polar populations around the world. One population doing well provides zero information about the rest of the population. If you're not talking about global numbers, you're only providing partial information.
@@safeandeffectivelol as of 2024, it is 22-31,000 WORLDWIDE, according to WWF. So they are massively declined, incase you are bad at math. Or just really bad at google. Bu I'm going to guess both and many other things.
1:21 -Hey bruh how long. -What's up man, good to see you.
The birds are just walking around chilling.
Eagle??
Lol..they were .
2:40 , i wanna throw him a french fry .

fantastic video, nature is beautiful, and at the same time cruel

WoT 😂
Brut up
Rare footage of a Leopard 1 attacking a Maus
Hahaha WOT
Try prem shells
I wanted to bear to win, theres a lot of walruses anyways
Right
Facts
So? Every life matters
@@topsykretts2264 yeah..bear matters too
Imaging saying I want this human to get in the colony and not starve to death in the wild Theres loads of humans anyway! Every life matters man, nature is unfair just like life sometimes is and whoever wins, wins
It's awesome seeing these bears
It's like some hellish island full of cheeseburgers that are always slightly out of reach
+AnuxeL Oh God Almighty! Poor bear... loser...
AnuxeL greatest analogy ever
Innate ؤ
I love this
There's even hope for the fat kid at the play ground. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Those tusks are formidable. I think it happened in the water? He's on Walrus's territory at that point.
Why do I watch this kind of videos om my phone but not on my tv
peter piper me too hahahahaha
You're ashamed....
Ur phone has youtube
Um 90 percent of the people don't have utube on TV...
Cause the idiot box is carefully controlled.
Attenborough: Walruses are the largest seals in the world. Elephant seal: Am I a joke to you?
4:45 Walrus slips from his grasps Polar bear looks towards camera Narrator: bear finds another prey
Camera man never deis
Damn, Walrus really levelled up their Armour.
When the bear yelled at the dirt I imagined him being like: “FUUUUUCCCCKKKK”
Polar bears are very strong and large Predator but he could barely move or budge any one of those walruses I couldn't believe that he couldn't move them!
1:21 Dang look at that walrus solidarity
I've never wanted a predator to catch its prey so much
Same
AAron Thom hahah same here man
If only polar bears lived in packs like wolves. If there were four or five full-grown bears this might have worked.
Militant Socialist Bears won't survive living in groups, that's why They are solitary
Francesco Brosolo Why is that?
i like how there's oblivious seagulls chilling in every epic nature fight.
Only if the mass population knew how to fight back together
Chevalier
I applaud the power of the mighty Walruses 😊
The size of these creatures is mind boggling
Not only their size but that their thick hyde is so tough that massive polar bear could not bite into it!
1:10 yall see that poor walrus getting ganged up on by two other from front and behind 😂
Lol They like eat this fool
Its now 2022, the total number of Polar bears worldwide has doubled since the making of this video.
It’s unbelievable
The Walrus are like stop playing the i’m a rare animal card, you are getting nothing..
I was there
Your mom was there
Hahaha👍
That One Sexy Walrus . I know, I saw you..
Polar Bears are undoubtedly huge and powerful creatures, but even next to the walruses the bear looks so small.
@Bilal Khalid .
Heart breaking..
5:25 That's me coming home for the weekend exhausted from the week.....
10 year old video? These seals & polar bears are gone. Thanks for showing us your nature beautiful animals 😭❤️
their not gone bro no need to be emotional.
I've never felt so bad for a POLAR bear in my life!
I doubt he died. He is a strong young Polar bear despite wounds. Notice they didn't say forsure if he died? He took a nap!
I've never felt so bad for mankind
Don't feel bad for that bear cuz he white.
@@snorfallupagus6014 racist fawk!
Yeah, poor polar bear. (Funny though - you feel bad for this one. However, if one was pursuing you then you'd want it to be dead!)
A vida animal é sensacional
There were so many walrus and just one polar bear. Couldn’t walrus have just given up the least helpful one? 😂
Do walruses accidentally stab themselves with their tusks?
I don't think that matters with a skin that thick.
Just get them to nod vigorously I guess
When they perform autofelatio I guess.
No. Their hides are too thick and their tusks aren't sharp. They do however stab each other when battling. When you put deliberate force behind those things they can cut through nearly any hide.
J P skin too thick
I couldn't image how quickly ones heart would be beating while getting to witness this first hand!
Walruses have an OP defense stat! Nice build 😬
How much does a full size walrus weigh? Male Pacific walruses weigh about 800 to 1,700 kg (1,764-3,748 lb.) and are about 2.7 to 3.6 m (9-12 ft.) long. Female Pacific walruses weigh about 400 to 1,250 kg (882-2,756 lb.)
The bear laid down at the end like he gave up on life,it broke my heart,and i was rooting for the walruses at first i feel conflicted...
Just for once I want to see a video of a polar bear killing one of those damn walruses and not starve to death
