Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home As the sea ice begins to break up in Summer, a polar bear ingeniously uses the drift ice to sneak up on a seal.
In the Grip of the Seasons looks at the challenges of hunting in the Arctic, the most seasonal place on Earth. To a predator, seasonal change is a problem. It means that all the parameters of the hunt - the conditions, the strategies, the prey - change too. The only option for the Arctic's top predators, the wolf, the Arctic fox and the polar bear, is to continually adapt to their changing world, exploiting the good times and enduring the bad.

Seal laying there like Americas Next Top Model.
LOVE IT'S
I know where you stole this comment😂
😂😂😂
"I am here cameraman, here can you see me ?!"
Hey, at least it got to chill like a boss before it died. Just needed a margarita to sip on.
The seal's face when it looked back was like " oh shit..."
lol 😁
XD
lol 😂😂
polar bear was like; Fuck you think you're going? dinner!
1:00 who tf paid this bear??
Lol
😂
😂😂😂
sebatian 😂 I don’t think Americans will get that joke
😂😂😂
Seal ran like the rent was due and the landlord was coming
No the seal was running for its life. We run like that when our rent is due.
Slimeball Nasty . Lol.
Slimeball Nasty loooooooool underrated
You'll get your rent when you fix this damn door
I've never seen a seal move so fast
That seal's reaction lol. Just chillin peacefully then "AYE WHAT THE FUCK?!"
hahaha yeah I was laughing my ass out about that same seal reaction haha
dude...I was thinking the same shit ...homeboy is chilling ..looking around at 2-22 and says ' I hear something ..but I don't see anything ...so time for a nappy poo ....oooooooo shit ' lol... once they hit the water they are fine but his dumb ass took waaaay to long to get off the ice ....and the bear was lucky he caught him in the water ..for sure !
+RB2331 it caught anther one that was coming to join the one it was stalking on the ice.
the seal - "draw me like one of your french girls"
the best comment on the internet.
Let's just take a moment and appreciate how beautifully this is shot. It's like a movie. The scene with the bear on the iceberg overhanging the water is magnificent.
0:58-1:10
Cameraman: *JACKPOT*
I know the feeling. 😍
Well I usually root for the underdog but I'm glad the polar bear got him.
yeah the bear was thin
Hey I'm hungry shoot.
its nature theyre are no underdogs
I root for the underdog too
Zarachi D a lot of people usually forget that predators need to eat too xD
I usually don't vote for the killer, but this bear was way too skinny
Most people have the exact same opinion, it's only logical to think and feel this way even though we still feel bad for the seal. Survival of the fittest.
The seal's a killer, too. Think of how many fish it must have consumed to maintain all that blubber...
Facts
joe weaver killers are winners in life. Winners respect other winners.You must be a loser then.
True.. I felt bad for it.. there’s nothing worse than a slow death like starvation. Damn that sucks.. I’m surprised it got it in it’s state...
1:00 What a shot!
Did you get the shot Bill? Aw, crap! I left the lens cap on! Damn it!
Yeah I noticed this too. Little lion longish lol he raised his head as the camera panned around him I can hear it now ahhhh sylvaniaaaa put some mo pizza in mah bowl!
@@deepee918 its cgi
Polar bear paid actor
The Polar Bear Queen!
Seal: what a lovely day!
Polar: hold my bear
😂🤣
no no, it's hold my cola
1:04 - Cinematography at its finest!
Yeah that one feels like I'm watching a movie scene in cinema
Agreed
No, 2:25 seeing a bear poking around the corner of the iceberg is.
Epic
I thought about The Lion King when I saw that scene. It's just Epic.
2:28 I know I should not laugh at a misery, but it almost seemed as if the seal was saying, " Oh, shit!"
Jeong-hun Sin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for making me laugh it totally fits!!
I again watched it, and I am horribly laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
no misery, only happiness, happy meal
The seal was cold chilling... lol. Humans had better unite before the animals do. Great comment!!
the oh shit face is universal
2:20 what a beautiful sunny day, it's calm right here.. 😌
2:26 holllly shiiiiiit 😨😵😱
The seal manages to still be adorable when it's scared out of its mind
It`s fate was sealed.
"Its", not "It's" ...
Sorry ,you are correct,I apologize.
Rupert McNaught Davis: Funny joke though ... Its fate was sealed, as it barely had time to react.
bearly...)
Good one!
2:26 when parents get home and you didnt do your chores.
Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣
I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS OMG !!! A VERY UNDERRATED COMMENT ASWELL
Hhahahah 💀
I feel the so bad for laughing at the moment:
I am guessing that most people never give this much thought, but I have HUGE admiration for the people that make these nature documentaries! What a career! Very, very, cool.
2:25 - when ur mom gets home early and smells the sweet aroma of *relaxation*
😨😱
🦭😱🐻❄️
Lmfaoooo
Nature is awesome. Nice to see the Polar Bear caught a well deserved meal, because it looked like it really needed it. The seal though.... Circle of life baby, she givith and taketh away. RIP seal.
+Mobin beast mob what you doing here lol interesting finding you here. love your videos been subbed for a year now keep it up.
***** I feel you fam
shame that circle of life is being bent disastrously out of shape by our climate change
+iain rickwood You are kidding me with this climate change, you don't need to answer, I am not picking a fight. I am so shocked that people believe in climate change is all.
Stan lk I'm not prepared for an Internet fight either, so same here mate: ill just leave you to your blissful ignorance
Im pretty sure the seal was talking shit behind the bears back...
Francisco Vasquez then the seal became the shit out of the bear’s backside 😂😂
Talk shit, get bit.
Came here after watching a seal killing a penguin...
Now i'm pretty satisfied!
MR. AmAziNg SAME BRO
Oh you mean that Penguin sacrificed himself for it's people to be safe?
Or not.
No no, this is not the seal species that kill the penguins.
Lol
They all have their jobs. Perfect system untill humans fucked it up.
A 100000 calories, enough for this bear to sustain for...
A week.
Lol.
Well Brian Shaw eats about 10k calories a day so not so farfetch especially in cold were fat burns faster than tropical countries
Average man needs 2500 daily. This seal would sustain average man for 40 days. Considering bears size 100.000 calories for a week is not surprising.
*MoSt* Wanted I mean imagine if you only had to eat once a week
*MoSt* Wanted lol 14000 calories a day
Just the blubber
The camera shots at the beginning are breathtaking to say the least, great quality!
attenboroiugh
STFU
Agreed
I
No you're breathtaking
The way he reacted when he knew the bear was there 😂😂😂
fuck this shit im out
and was at this moment that the seal knew, he fucked up
Flying Noodle
Not funny
That Polar Bear erupting out the water as if it was fired from a gun..Scary Stuff there.I nearly dropped me mobile.
1:02
*tears fall down my face* “ So majestic.”
Brennan Likes cheeseburgers It’s the circle of life!
That moment where the announcer says the bear is behind the seal and you just see one eye of the bear peaking out gets me every time. I think the seal is distracted by silly humans doing abnormal things in it's general area.
The Polar Bear on the Ice mound is a stunning Image !!!
When your mom comes home and you havent defrosted the meat.
so your meat is the only meat which is defrosted
@@-guitarhero timeout
that seal was so cute... poor seal, u will be missed :(
poor nenechi
Mata nene...
Mata nene
That feeling you get when you're happy for something that just killed another thing...
I know but that's just the circle of life.
And seals are d*ck heads
+Sumayah Khan You win best comment of the day on TH-cam ! 😂
+paytonisdying I always feel that way watching predators in action.
+paytonisdying Same feeling as when I bite into a hamburger. Delicious murder
+paytonisdying well this story was about the bear, not the seal !! XD
why was the seal all alone lying there like on a dessert plate?
sabbel babbel chillin...like a villian
sabbel babbel catching rays
sabbel babbel damn I laughed lol
Noah great
she was modeling probably.
Caught him lackin' 😳
Verified
fax, damn
What you doing here lol
2:26 this made me died laughing when I saw the seal having a panic attack reaction.
That fat seal was just chilling and enjoying the day.
and something JUST had to FUCK IT UP!!!
was anyone else sad at the beginning because of how skinny that poor bear was...
Instagram model
+Ellie Robinson yeah :( Global warming is behind that
+satellite7able yeah but it so obviously is :(
+Ellie Robinson Don't be sad because the bear is skinny, be sad because we humans are destroying their habitat and as a whole we are doing nothing/not caring about it and even a lots of people believe that global warming is bullshit. Yep we are the worst animal on this planet.
+Ellie Robinson Yes. I wish well for these endangered species. Yet I wonder if I'm a monster to have no pity for the seal and excited to see it caught by the polar bear.
Damn that seal be layin’ like a snickers bar lol
2:09 OMG matanene ༼☯﹏☯༽
Za Woooaaaaruudo.
RIP Seal With Big Dreams
Davoiscool hahaha he had it all.figured out too b4 he got ate lol
Davoiscool his dream was to become a full grown sausage 😢
he dream was will diner for bear
Dirty.
Davoiscool ozzy man reviews 😂
when mom asks you to do something and then she saw you still not doing it
Omg 😂 true
Hhhhhhh true
I just died 😂 😅 😅
This just made my day! 😂
I'm dying omg that's so funny
How could someone dislike this? It was a perfect kill.
Probably the Karen's
Don’t take it personally it’s usually bots
*Seal chilling*
*Bear Sneaks*
*Bear Chases Seal*
Seal:EYYYY YO CHIILLLL!
0:58 the lion king style
ha
yeah xD #never surrender never give up
1:11 the final stage!
Yes, she has probably seen it 50 times!
0:58 - Good Lord, that is an incredibly magnificently glorious shot.
Normally, I'm leaning on the seals side but after the bear climbed out of the water I thought..."Yeah, she needs to eat" the emotions for the seal kinda went away....
I literally cheered out loud "GIIIIIITTTT EEEEEMMMMMM!!!!!!!" when that bear mounted that iceberg. Couldn't have been happier when she got out of the water with it. That wait was FOREVER. This is the best preview in the history of previews and probably of nature shows in general.
That's me being a lazy fuck....the polar bear....my responsibilities
For a piece of sasuage with a face damn it runs pretty fast
Looks like a pillow. Also, love your icon. If that is you, you are beautiful.
"piece of sausage with a face" hahahaha so spot on
2:25 That moment when you thought danger has been averted only to realize you've been caught unawares while lounging on the ice. Oh, and the chilling music is so on point here too!
Seals are excellent swimmers. So., to get there and catch the seal under water, full credits to the polar bear. He earned his meal and that will keep him energetic for a week. Feeling good for him. He was despearate for a meal the way he stood on his limbs and look around
I mean come on! how you get an amazing shot like that? 00:58? Its like the bear knows the crew is watching so he stikes up an amazing pose like that. Show off :v
+Los Blancos However the music is fake. They clearly added it in post-production.
nah buddy, I'm pretty sure there is an orchestra of penguins playing in the background there. Its a sham. -_-
+Los Blancos How is the audio recorded so clear and clean, if the camera person did not sneak in too close to the bear? If he/she did manage to reach pretty close to the action scene, how did the bear/seal not notice, given their strong senses?
Thanks.
+Abhishek Man They are using robots to capture their scene, there is a documentary about it. It's quite amazing what they got for those documentary.
+Kuhaku Thank you so much. Another question that I have now is that the robots too have some noise and sounds, does that not bother the animals or are they just used to all that?
Also, if it's not a trouble for you, may you please share that documentary, I'm quite new here and not so confident about the search results.
I am so happy she caught the seal I want these guys to survive in what looks like a very lonely hungry driven life
David Gonzalez 🙌
David Gonzalez Thanks for ruining it for me!
David Gonzalez nooo poor seal
N AS
shut up, softy. it's nature. this is how it is. what the heck are those starving polar bears suppose to eat?!
some messed up group of Nothing Better To Dos cry about how nature was created,by GOD, got to your pity full bleeding heart.
this is nature at it's purest form.
Alvin Dueck you're the one barking , you shut up!
Damn polar bears out there starving for weeks at a time and I'm just sitting here eating pizza rolls
Can you imagine being the guy behind the camera?.i can imagine him after this calling his wife."honey bring out the red panties! We made it!! I'm coming home!"
David Attenborough lol
What does that mean
Where you from seriously?
@@rimacalid6557 me?im somewhere in asia..why tho?
@@martinmartin8666 haha I thought so, me too, leme guess, near east?
2:26 SUPRISE MUTHAFUKA!!!!!!
"oH FUCK GOD DAMNIT I'M OUT BYE-"
Fuck mother nature. I hate seeing the poor seal suffer like that but it's still awful to see how skinny and desperate the beautiful bear must be.
Here's Carnage seal was like OH FUCK
Seals eat penguins so..........
tyrima NOT ALL seals eat penguins.
Clever girl
Clevuh gurl
Was that...was that a jurassic park reference?
Chima Achuko you got it, clevuh gurllll 😂
Clever woman
Shaddap yu butch!
2:10 Seal: "Im a beautiful mermaid."
When your mom catches you watching tv instead of washing dishes 🤣🤣
Seeing how bony that bear is is so sad.
it actually is
That happens during the Summer when there's no sea ice for them to hunt seals on. Then the Bears have to go to land and basically wait for Winter and for the Ice to freeze. Longer Summers mean less time hunting seals. On land up in Northern Canada, Greenland and other places that are just South of the Arctic, there's not much to eat.
...OOOOOr they could just hunt the shore lines for seals in the summer. They survive in spite of ice, not because of it. If there was no ice the seals would have to escape killer whales and rest on the shore... Think about it... The ice makes the bears thin.
The killer whales would have a harder time of it though.
But not to worry, as the world is getting cooler, so you will get your dang ice.
science, how does it work?
No, the earth is getting warmer?
2:29, the way the seal begins to burst is sooooo cute
The good thing about the arctic region is, that you don't have to put your seal into the fridge when it takes you more than one day to eat it
Less cling wrap is needed.
1:00 incredible! Reminds me of lion king movie lol
Red Cirkus It’s the polar bear king! 🐻❄️👑
Not of all the superhero movies, where Batman, Spiderman etc are brooding over their cities?? 😂😂
Aw man. I wanted to see it munching out
same here
Hi man my name is also Edwin. But this is my moms iPad am on.
+Rick Salt give some salt to polar bear for the seal breakfast
majid Ashif As hif I would .
president camacho Assuming you stating your name is Kawooya but you're on your neighbour's iPad was a really funny joke .
2:26 Seal: hoooooooooly fuckfuckfuckfuck
Mr. Smith سبحان الله العظيم سبحان الله وبحمده
He was just chillin
Mr. Smith ii
more like, o shit o shit o shit o shit
Seal - me relaxing on couch right before wife comes home with kids.
😂😂
BIG congratulations Bear , its nice to see you catching food , so you can live for another week or so , yeah ! 🐾💖😊
am i the only one who laughed when the seal saw the bear?
naw i cracked up the seal was like; oh shit! oh shit! 😂
Lmao that seal fat af just chillin
it was funny))
that not funny !
no it wasn't funny....IT WAS HILARIOUS 😂😂
i give it the seal of approval
Ace D nice
Yes, very fine meat
2:28 That seal was just chillin (literally) mindin it’s own business until the bear got on some bully shit 🤦♀️
finally, a polar bear eating :D
That moment when ya chillin' like a villain and da next thing ya know there is a polar bear behind you lol
Thehunter5301 ikr samething I said.
What's amazing is that the seal was already dead by the time it was dragged onto the ice again. The bear must've gotten a hold of a back flipper and BEAR hugged it into submission.
Yes that was very surprising and hard to understand as presumably the bear never let go of the back flipper all the time. Was it really dead?
Or for the purpose of entertainment they put a dead bloody seal in the water and let the bear get it.
+Jack Collins 2 seal
yeah, the original seal probably got away, they just stowed away a dead seal under water, lol.
If you look closely, you can see that the seal is bleeding from the head and neck area. Bear probably broke its neck and then maybe changed grip, or lost her grip and re-caught it by the back end as it started to sink. The seal weighs a lot, and the bear is weak from hunger.
This Polar Bear Deserves That Meal Definitely Good Catch He Needed To Be Fatten Up I Just Loved All The Polar Bears And The Cutee Cubs Amazing
and add some coke would be an awesome combo meal
@@Spyder-gg8ll 👍 Yessss A great combo meal for the bear🤣
Seal: ah, going to relax, first day off in like six months. got a pizza on the way. what could possibly go wrong
Polar bear: this seal is done for he goes for the kill great catch for the bear
1:00 nearly brought me to tears... it was so... so beautiful :p
2:27 Seal: "OH SHOOT OH SHOOT OH SHOOTSHOOTSHOOTSHOOT NOPE"
The seal is just sitting their begging to be eaten hahaha
When you're warding the map,but Volibear comes running right at you
BBC we love these shows :')
Her fate was sealed from the very beginning.
...What?
That's a very good counterpoint play on dialogue
if you'll pardon the pun
sealed. good one
The peril is hard to bear.
The seal was bare (slang) fast, but not fast enough.
Seal like I'm Sun tanning!!😎
Bear jumps out... seal holy 💩😨 😱
This polar bear wanted to 'seal' a deal to end it's hunger.
The film and editing quality is just lovely.
Deez Nuts SEALS HAVE FEELINGS TOO!!!
Sealio The Harp Seal You serious -__- ? So you wan
t the bear to go vegan ?
Just like Deez Nuts.

That bear made it to that Dewgong before I did. Damn Pokemon Go.
Team valor ??
When both jump down at the water , my heart be like , catch the seal catch the seal 😂
As magnificent and breathtaking as this footage is, the seal shitting itself when the polar bear strikes is by far the best thing.
"Such a lovely day toda..... WHAT THE FUCK"
Replayed the seal attempting to escape over and over and cant help but think the seal was saying "shit shit shit!!"
Holy shit im dying lmao!!!!!!
The cinematography is gorgeous.
While serving in the Navy, I met a S.E.A.L.. And he told me a scary story about when they were camping up in north Alaska, how a polar bear literally ripped him out of his tent and threw him a good few feet. If not for his knife, he would’ve been a goner that night.
While these animals are graceful and beautiful to look at from a distance, make no mistake people. These thing can and will tear you apart like lunch meat if given a reason to, even if that reason is starvation. Always keep a far distance and never turn your eyes away if anyone sees these things face to face, in the cold wild.
I can’t believe even though this murder was captured live on film they still haven’t caught the suspect. They say he’s still at “large.” 😜.
dude what a horrible day for the seal
probaly thinking
" ahhh gorgeous day gonna nap here for a little"
The polar bear was like
Bring dat ass here boi
Mysterious World the seal was like u aint eating my fat ass today lool
😂😂
And the seal is like: ima gettin my ass outa here
This been happening for hundreds of years....... only now we are able to see it on video....Amazing!!
One of the greatest shots in natural history photography.
that bear was thin. glad he found food.
the polar bear is so skinny :(
+Lama this has been happening for thousands of years its nature and the polar beer is winning otherwise they would of died out thousands of years ago
+Lama All bears are "skinny" it's only their puffed fur that makes them look bigger than they really are.
+Angerpull that is not true
+Angerpull you never watched a picture of a polar bear, right?
+Allison Morales >watched a picture
that bear was as satisfied as me getting taco bell after a night of drinking
2:28 it flopping for its life had to make everybody crack up.
