Never thought a bear could catch a whale.
Yep, this is a new one on me
Life goes on as always🙏🏽 humans raise sea levels, polar bears lose some ice but get some more aquatic life on their menu as a result lol
I've seen a documentary where polar bears we're hunting fish in a river like a Grizzly Bear cousin's with salmon.
Maybe in the future they evolve back into Grizzlies?🤷♂️
Well to be fair…Its literally the smallest whale vs like the Largest Bear. Polar Bears can reach 10- 13 feet and a Beluga are like 11-16 feet. This is not a Grizzly going after a Spermwhale.
Old Polar Bear sits on a rock until the tide comes in & so do the Beluga whales, then waits for a young one to swim near, jumps from the slightly submerged rock & snags it. Now that's the brain of a well seasoned predator.
Analogy: Man sits watching a couple dozen stocks. Notices certain one's go up & down thru a certain range of prices. After watching patiently that range repeat 3 times for a certain stock, he waits for it to hit the low, then buys, then waits for it to get near the high & sells - $ profited.
@@parrsnipps4495 that’s such a noob strategy lol a man needs to learn market cycle theory and Eliot wave theory at the very least before he sees “profit” like actually learn how to trade.. This polar bear is a lot more skilled than a person that trades a range and thinks he’s making “profit”
How smart does a polar bear have to be to figure that out ? That is unbelievable
Beautifull , intelligent nature -always humble ❤
Bears will eat you or just outright kill you for no reason
@@gabrielgilbert9162 OK Joe rogan, calm it
@@xo121w go cuddle a bear
@Zangief ☭ it’s both u Mong. How is that not smart
What make this brilliant is that the polar bear has to have a sense of how the beluga thinks and behaves
No, it has to have instinct.
@@marcteenhc9793 You don't get it. The Polar has to know the Beluga pattern/behaviour. Otherwise it would swim after it or something foolish. "instinct" would be a polar bear killing anything that moves.
@@miamitten1123meh it’s like the attention span of cat. Will chase a toy until it knows it can’t compete or catch it then rests out of laziness. I think this is more the mentality of it.
It’s called conditioning and natural instincts
@@miamitten1123do you not realise using your brain is also instinct polar bear develops this strategy after several mistakes and several generations passed down this wisdom through instinct that's why the older one got the kill because of more experience which gets engrained in his instinct and passed down to his next generation
A terrestrial carnivore that can hunt whales is AWESOME in my book!!!
TRUE GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOW
@@freddiestranger9783 Can you substantiate your mythology?
It can swim too
It's classed as a marine mammal, not terrestrial on account it spends most of it's life on the sea ice and in the Arctic and Pacific oceans.
@@augustseptember3503 GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD 🙏 JESUS CHRIST TODAY 🙏
Lol, the way the Belugas did a periscope bob-up from the water at the beginning to peep out where the polar bears were lurking 😂
There is a name for it I forget but killer whales do it too. I think it’s called spy hopping? It’s literally just them getting a look it’s so cute lol
Spy hopping
OMG they are very healthy looking Polar Bears.
They look So cute
i was just thinking these are the healthiest polar bears i have ever seen usually they are so thin 😿
The bears are enjoying Beluga these days.
Honestly, it’s pretty satisfying to see a polar bear and find some food and feed itself
@Johann Reiter hey polar bears are really starving animals
@Johann Reiter okay polar bears can't visit the local supermarket so yes this is their food
@Johann Reiter the polar bear is a beautiful animal as well. This is just nature and that whale is definitely food.
Yeah, I hate videos where they are unsuccessful and the narrator goes "welp, better luck next time bear!" Like bitch there may not be a next time.
@@johannreiter3364 I'm sure the whale is a vegetarian
Polar bears are terrifying
One of the only animals they see humans as prey animals
Ask Joe Rogan
Grizzly bear hunts salmon
Polar bear hunts beluga
Correction: Polar bear hunt beluga & Arctic char.
YES GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOW
@@freddiestranger9783 you’re goddamn fucking nuts
@@freddiestranger9783 Can you substantiate your mythology?
@@Dr.IanPlect you two have a room please
Seems like every time I watch these videos, the prey always gets away. This one was so satisfying
agreed i love it when i see polar bears or lions or wolves actually get to have some dinner, they look so skinny half the time you can tell most of these more obvious hunts that humans actually notice are because the animal hasnt had a good meal in possibly weeks
A whale of a tale, it bears more scrutiny.
Master of patience there. It takes literally hours for the tide to rise that far
Bear: waits for hours.
Me: honks at car in drive thru
Fascinating and such a wonderful video documenting these bears. I find it interesting that they are just studying each other in how to hunt and almost like they are socializing together through hunting
Good hu
Almost?
@@Entonces yes almost as they are apex predators that mostly live through solidarity which means they prefer to be alone for most of their livelihood
Smarter than the average bear!
Nope.. Forced to be different cause it's entire environment is different.
@@Stance1988 Which is the same,it's evolved to be smart just like white people are evolved to be smarter than other other races
@@Stance1988 so then it is smarter wtf
@@Stance1988 yr comment doesn't change the narrative lol
If polar bears unlock the team work trait they’d be unstoppable.
The wiser bear should start a workshop or couching sessions on how to successfully catch the beluga for other inexperienced bears. They'll definitely get a lot out of it.
Casting couch
It seems like they were working together on some level.
It will be become capitalism
You are a genius who taught me a lesson tonight I knew how to be a patient but with this bear approach who knows how to be patient tnx, It is an experienced genius who ever recorded and docs it.
INDEED GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOW
@@freddiestranger9783 Can you substantiate your mythology?
@@Dr.IanPlect The Bear who chooses his/her time on a carefully chosen rock while the other goes after the Belagus and the open water the Belagus are impossible to catch and his tactic clearly isn't working, there is a trick to this and it's all down to the tide.... all are in video but as u asked as the water rise the Belagus come down to shore better for the Bears and experience has taught them how to be an efficient hunter and it is all about patient and experience in all life phases and experiences.
Indeed
@@Dr.IanPlect Wow...are you so insecure that you have to put Dr. before your name all the time, lol? No one gives 2 shts about your lame phd in some dumb useless major.
- Watch me, old man! I'm gonna go catch one right now!
- You have much to learn, young grasshopper.
His patience is masterful.
They are crazy and brilliant hunters never mess with a polar bear 🐻❄️🥶
Just imagine how hungry this would make you to see your dinner 20 feet away just so close.... and in the same time so far..
Gorgeous 😊
Maybe the swimming bear was a distraction. So long as the whales are keeping track of him the other can pounce unexpectedly.
C'est incroyable chasser un béluga dans l'eau! Les Polar bears ont du talent à revendre. J'aime la vidéo!
I’m fkn baffled at how that bear caught the baby beluga being that it was swimming with its mother n family! They’re so smart I can’t see how they would get anywhere near close enough for that bear to get it
Maybe the baby one didn't know the polar bears were a threat and got closer out of curiosity. If the bear sat there all day long the baby beluga might have been intrigued
@@33BottlesOnMyDesk possibly but they usually stay right next to mom n she doesn’t let them stray
That’s what I’m
Saying… I don’t see how a polar bear can outsmart a beluga whale.
@@jamesd7495 theres no standardized way to test animal intelligence, but in terms of hunting and catching prey a polar bear is a greater genius than most sentient organisms could hope to be
@@JubioHDX Completely wrong. Looks like you need to get educated about killer whales, spèrm whales, jaguars, African wild dogs, falcons, etc. They are way above Polar bear.
This is problematic. How come they didn't cast any black polar bears?
They are black. They only have white hair...
No non binary, trans, polar bears too
@@lambdalambdalambda257 it's sarcasm
@markthomas6703 No brown bears also
Thanks for degrading this video with your attention grabbing comment
Cute..meow..meow...😻
Thanks. ✌🏻👊
music for this is perfect
Kept sitting like the good boy he is
The bear on the rock: Don't worry just wait here, they'll come to us... The bear in the water: Fine, I'll do it myself!
You are what u eat they say...
Stay Polar!
Pretty amazing they're smart
Wow, that was amazing! 👍💕

@@freddiestranger9783 Can you substantiate your mythology?
The strength of a polar bear must be something absurd if we were even able to measure
They weight over 1k pounds, can run 30+mph, and swim for hundreds of miles in freezing temperatures. They are super OP.
Nothing special. They are just as strong as required for that weight. Infact, Kodiak bears are pound to pound stronger than Polar bear.
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457 where did you get that info?
Wow, very BIG HUNGRY BEARS! John P.
I was expecting beluga whale to let go of bear but predator got a good hold of it. Strength is incredible.🔥
Just a baby whale
@@aaronbarlow4376 BBC got them catching large Beluga. I heard they hunted them but always thought it was just some old wives tale and then they filmed it.
@@Gooniessss Adult beluga is impossible for any polar bear to hunt unless it is trapped in a water hole with barely any space to move. In open water like this, only a baby or at the most, a juvenile can be hunted.
@@Gooniessssno you are lying
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457yep
Plot twist: the bear swimming and doing all the work was trying to push the beluga whales towards the bear on the rock (coordinated effort) 🐻❄️🐻❄️🐳
Seeing your life before your eyes
Fantastic skill .
Meraviglioso e crudele nello stesso tempo!!!
1:10 Tide is the rise and fall of sea level due to the attraction of sun and moon.
Gota love nature 😀
Imagine risking your life just to scratch that itch you can't reach.
Natural born killer 🐻❄️

Man siiting on a rock patiently waiting on a rock while other Kramer like polar bear doing all type of zoomies scaring the grub
baaaaaby beluuuuuga
yum
Not that I hate belugas but I'm glad the bear got its feed 👍🏻
Me too i am waiting for the tide but I never catch anything 🤣
Wow, I didn't know that about polar bears.
This is like trading, you have to wait for the good setups
Interesting video
If I’m ever being hunted by a polar bear, I’d hope it’s the moron one.
The camera only catches the split second attack. Camera guy needs to have the same patience as the bear.
Like from the movie Interstellar when Matthew McConaughey (Cooper) says to Anne Hathaway (Dr. Brand), “you don’t think nature can be evil?” She says, “no.. formidable, frightening.. but no, not evil…. Is a lion evil because it rips a gazelle to shreds?” Nature is beautiful.
You have to keep in mind the beluga is very smart. For a bear to outsmart it in water is crazy
A WHALE ? More like a Trout !!!😂
I learned from this video: timer better than worker
Glad they've found a way to hunt that doesn't depend on the now-disappearing ice.
LOL
Impeach racist pig kid sniffing biden
Agreed🙏🏽 Love that bears are so inherently adaptable. Less land and higher water levels? To a smart bear all that means is more variety in whats on the aquatic dinner menu🤞🏽
The hunt on ice flows in the spring, on land in the summer, and starve all winter waiting for the spring to melt the ice and break it up. We never hear about polar bears being threatened anymore, because they simply get longer hunting seasons. Their numbers have been increasing steadily.
@@Idontwantahandle6669Let's see how that increased population fares once all the prey is gone year-round because the ecosystem is collapsing due to global warming.
Amazing
Grizzly: *Hunts salmon in river.
Polar bear: Hold my beer.
Didn't even know bears ate belugas.🙁
If bears could talk, patient bear to impatient one: Dammit, quit swimming around and messing up my game!
Those bears looking right at food “the camera men” at the beginning of this vid. They are ruthless predators when it comes to food.
Good US voiceover!
The Game Wardens aren't doing their job, Beluga whales are protected, they should have given those bears a big ticket.
Many people here saying: how can a polar bear be this smart. I wonder why everybody thinks they are dumb?
Fam caught that whale like a Grizzly catch a Salmon 😅
Everybody knows. You always ambush a beluga.
Bellissimo
Very Nice Video
he looking like the main character after someone dies on that rock
I'd be the stupid impatient bear and try to chase them 😂
Same here
Polar bears are beautiful creatures. This animal conservation should be put in place so that it does not become endangered species.
good idea
Ppl can hunt them. Just need to pay money for it
Oh, those poor cute lil whales!
FUCKA YOU WHALES!!!! FUCKA YOU DOLFIIINNNNN!!
We need the Chicago Bears to hunt Belugas.
It wasn't all lost for the less experienced bear. It learned to eat seaweed.
Beluga whale blow holes sound like me hitting a rep on a set. 😂
I thought they were a team!!!
You would need so much power to swim in that current.
Looks like the swimming bear prods the belugas toward the bear on the rock for a well-timed ambush. They hunt like orcas.
grizzlies hunt salmon polar bears hunt beluga whale
So, the only chance of surviving over polar bears is in the air. Damn, gravity...
"bro Im hungry, gonna try eat dis"
Blubber on the menu. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Good
they can only be glad no orcas were around
Polo bears experience hunter always get there meal the other have allotted to learn i enjoyed this documentary just like in life move slowly to approach in life have a goal and have your experience an with determination, and perseverance , you will win
RIGHT GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOW
@@freddiestranger9783 Can you substantiate your mythology?
Don't know where in the Canadian arctic this was filmed. I visited Cunningham Inlet on Somerset Island and saw many Belugas along with their young swimming. Although there are polar bears around, we saw only polar bear tracks in the sand.
these two males brothers? they seem pretty relaxed around each other
WAIT! This is from 11 months ago? That would be 2022. Al Gore told me all of the Polar Bears would be dead by 2015 if we didn't give him money. Liar!
this bear is literally me fr fr fr
If you're ever confronted by a Polar Bear..have cheese-snacks in your pocket.. Polar Bears'll do anything..for cheese snacks..even NOT eat you!
Poor little beluggie😢 so cute but now dead
I had no idea they ate whales. Amazing.
Who else was expecting the whales to be much bigger than that? Lol
I'm guessing that was a baby whale.
Belugas are generally very small... just like the 'Killer whales'.. but even smaller. Also the Polar Bear is massive too - don't forget :P
It was the baby
The polar bear is huge!!!
@@BullShitThat I guess he already ate some Belugas. I wouldn't want to tangle with him.
Like WOW!
Only If the bears were as big as a great white, they could've easily made killer whales an endangered species😂
