I love how no matter what in these documentaries, seagulls are just the neutral animal, they dont bug anyone and noone bugs them
They might shit on you or your car for fun but aside from that you're right
And a full triple bologna & cheese sandwich I custom made with doritos fuckers grabbed it from me when I looked down to grab a soda from the ice chest lmfao and it was literally right when I looked down they rushed me lol they might seem dumb but dont let that fool you they will take a whole custom made sandwich from you no cap lol shit was funny af and then the most fucked up part they shit on you right after robbing you up for a fat sandwich shit had me laughing my ass off that day.
Clearly you've never seen the video of the seagull that divebombs onto a bunny then proceeds to deep throat it down its gullet😂
I used to shoot them with water guns use chips as bait
@Luci Fer lol
And the dad isn’t even paying cub support

L H typical polar bears. 🤣
The dads don't even visit the cubs lol

Ikr the dad never came back from the store with seal he promised he’d bring back😂
Me: happy that the mama bear and her cubs successfully stood their ground and ate
Also me: sad that the challenging bear and her cubs left empty handed and might possibly starve
life dude. Sad.
@Jake Despa yup exactly
Nah Can’t think about that. Gotta stick with the stars of the documentary.
They probably just went to the other side of the giant whale.
No need to be sad or happy. This is nature and this is how it's work. Survival of the fittest.
“There is more food than a family of bears could eat.” The bears continue to growl and make angry bear arguing sounds.
It's enough for one sitting. but the bears will eat it for days until it's done
Sodium Chloride all the bears could eat together happily for weeks. But what can we say animals are animals not too much trust.
The meat must be lacking in sodium chloride
I bet humans would do the same if they were in their shoes... or paws

so cringe
Repent:
@Josh Micheal no cappa
Every polar bear documentary has the words "hungry, starving, barren and cold". It's a mystery how they grow to be the largest land mammals
The secret is called seal blubber
It's how much they have to fight to survive the reason that when they grow up they are able to thrive
Not the biggest land mammal but still a good point
largest land carnivores
not mammals
Elephants are bigger. Guess you mean land mammalian predators
You know the shit's about to go down when David Attenborough speaks.
The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful!
They're so cute and to think they are one of the few animals that see us humans as food haha scary.
Considering they are living on a frozen wasteland, anything that moves is probably considered as potential food.
Cosmic Memer Why don’t they eat Birds then?
@@phoz6504 Why do you think? It's kind of obvious.
@@phoz6504 If they could catch them I'm sure they would eat them

@Kev Cthulu You fool
If only the bear family's knew how to communicate that they want to share
not in their dna
Maybe they don´t want to share. Then it wouldn´t make any difference if they knew how to communicate it. And they probably do, by the way. But their existence is based even more on dominance than ours is. It´s usually "to each their own" in the animal kingdom, unless we are talking herd animals.
This smell must have been absolutly delicious to attract so many animals from far away
I'm sure any food (even old food) smell is delicious when you're starving...
I wouldn’t think rotting fat and meat smells good. I think the animals just don’t really care about taste
@@bigpigeon2384 to a human, of course it wouldn’t smell good. These are animals. Some people just don’t have any common sense
It’s a big-ass thing of meat ripe for the taking and incapable of fighting back. When you live in the Arctic and you’re hungry, you can hardly be picky, especially with a prize that valuable

Bears: fight over a tiny piece of meat
Mother's come in all different shapes, species, and sizes. But they all have the same heart
What a nice mom
There’s more meat than 10-20 bear families can handle. Relax now...
You think they only need to eat once??
If only they attended elementary mathematics
Delike el Ducce you’re being racist 😕
X I don’t think you know what racist means, there is nothing about that statement that implies racism or even mentions race whatsoever.
There's more than enough for everyone but they have to fight for who's next in line. Just like at home depot these days.
I love to see that even puppies try their hand at intimidating opponents.
Their actions are totally dependent on their mother's. If the mother runs, they run. The most important thing for them is just to stick as close as they can to their mother, the safest place for cubs

The whale sacrifice themselves to make sure that the polar bears are saved from extinction.
DOPEdude 909 that made me sad :( i hope us humans can change global warming
Pbperez 210 first of all u dont know me so u cant tell me i know nothing sbout global warmig. can u read my comment again, im not blaming anyone, im saying i hope “we” can change global warming. Polar bears’ ice caps are decreasing fast and losing their habitat. Not only polar bears but other animals too. It lessens the survivability of baby animals because they have to learn how to swim
@Pbperez 210 it's real, but this probably isn't because of global warming. Whales wash up all the time bc fat shit floats.

The dead whale is fucking rotten and smelling and also frozen like Gordon Ramsay’s dish it’s gotta take a few years for them to be like that

Damn why don’t they just take turns holy nature is crazy
The film was just assembled into an unbranched simple story for us. I think the family pushed away actually could stay around and did wait their turn for that huge amount of food.
My wild and crazy theory is that, if your cubs get to survive rather than the other polar bear's cubs, then more of your genes are more likely to be passed on than the other bear's.
@@twelveytwelve Charles Darwin would like to have a word with you about stealing his theory
@@twelveytwelve or maybe if they all stayed and helped each other they would all get to flourish and pass on their genes.
@@twelveytwelve As much as I would love to believe your theory but I don't think animal care too much about the genes. Sure some animals will care more about passing genes but generally not as much as we think of.
The footage they get with these videos is amazing.
You do realize this was a tourist site while it was happening they were taking bus loads of people to it. You could have got the same footage with your goddamn cell phone.

so cute
I feel that those other families that are leaving have had their fills otherwise I expected a fierce contest.
Yes the BBC is horrible at making false narratives for each little animal story! He'll just look at the clip from 3:37 there are a minimum of four separate families in that shot all laying right next to each other sleeping and not paying any attention to each other. If you ever see any footage of these whale sites there are literally dozens of polar bears some of them playing with each other. They tend to have little aggression was so much food available.
dean nelson probably wasn’t food agression but ‘motherly’ aggression. They were the smallest family and the mom was probably just telling the others to piss off
@@bigpeenerpeen where are you coming up with this randomness of them being the smallest family there?! First of off the one they showed them standing by are the exact same age and size and number. And as far as aggression goes have you ever been around polar bears there's no aggression shown in this video... tension sure aggression none!
dean nelson from what was shown the mother was the smallest there and so were her kids, to me I guess I should say. I used aggression because thats the word you used..
@Benny G you do know that that bear eventually ate those dogs right! LOL
Fascinating. Glad I can’t smell it, though, lol.
If you were starving you'd be GLAD you could smell it!
I know I would.
Just put some snow on your head and you'll blend in just fine.
What a lovely sky
Bear beautiful
Looks like our polar bear friends are doing just fine!
I literally have a phobia of bears, though brown bears specifically (a Michael Jackson video scarred me for life as a kid). But polar bears are seriously such beautiful, majestic creatures. If you've ever seen them in real life, you know that seeing them just takes your breath away. Almost cried because I was so moved by their sheer beauty. Stunned me. Mother Earth is amazing!
That means you don't have phobia for bears
You mean you’re scared of bears..... 🙄 if you had a phobia you wouldn’t be explaining how beautiful you think they are.
scared of brown bears but white bears are "beautiful, majestic creatures." Subconscious racism

Smells like food
@@mothermovementa it is not frozen, it is clearly decomposing and therefore definitely generating stink, temperatures reach high enough around the coastal regions to allow for this.
I love this!!! Wonderful
Its bitter sweet for me, like im happy for the bear and her cub but at the same time i feel bad for the other bear and her cub who left empty handed, its so sad 🥺
Polar bears living the pandemic life everyday. Stand your ground for what you’ve got.
"Compete for food, or run away and go hungry"🤔 1. Just wait a little while, there is more than enough.
2. The drama of David Attenborough🤗.
False drama... We could also listen to him and go on and on about polar bears are about to die out completely ignoring the fact that their population is growing at this point at a considerably rapid rate.
@@deannelson9565 He doesn't ignore the fact that polar bears are growing in number, actually if you watched our planet this is mentioned and explained.
@@bradleywoods3742 And why did they do that in that particular show? Cuz they caught holy hell. From the expert community about the way they made the polar bears plite out to be during frozen planet! It's no different than when they tried to make it sound like two thirds of the Great Barrier Reef had died off due to bleaching in one of their episodes.
@@deannelson9565 I wouldn't be so sure that polar bears are going to continue this seeming "time of plenty". Their population will plateau and eventually start to decrease as more and more of the sea ice starts retreating. The main reason why they were and still are doing very well is due to less poaching/hunting and the thin sea ice makes it far easier for them to find seal pups which is a large part of their diet. This is consistent with the harp seal populations which is currently declining.
I thought coral reefs were dying? 50% of them have already died off, not just from bleaching.
@@bradleywoods3742 where are you coming up with harp seals population decline? It's currently around 7 million of them compared to around 2 million back in 1980. So I'm curious where you're coming up with these numbers. Other than probably some b******* articles talking about sea ice drop causing problems with the pups That's was just fear-mongering, but didn't actually have any real world effect. And as far as hunting goes polar bears are still hunted at the same level as they were back in the 70's!
I like how the bear in the back is just chillin solo
Beautiful
No matter what, I still felt sad that the polar bears lost in the end as a species when competing for food.
Cub was prolly like "Ayo this shit busting"
It’s bussing
Perfect voice
Beautiful animal
Someone should make this scene into a Coca Cola commercial with the other bear family bringing soda for everyone and then they all get along.
They’re going to steal that from you 😂
Man lately these clips have been extremely cinematic its crazy good.
Beatiful bear
Beautiful animals. Doing things like that
It makes me smile to see her and her cubs feast 😀

I just want to wash those bears.
Me too lol
So I'm not the only one who was thinking that :D
I don't think they are really that dirty. You see, polar bears' fur isn't white, but transparent. Each hair is hollow, and it reflects light. Because ice reflects all wavelengths of color, it appears white, and polar bears are the whitest when there's direct sunlight on them, as well as with snow. Because there's few snow and little sunlight, their fur appears to be dirty and brown, but actually it absorbs more light than it reflects. ;D
Wow its amazing
