That Polar Bear's life makes me wonder what the whole purpose of its existence is. Living in a freezing wasteland, trying to catch enough food to keep it alive, and just doing the same every day - but for what? There must be some end purpose to it all beyond its existence as we see it.
Flying fish is an amazing thing. no matter how hard they struggled, they all eventually became prey, but their efforts were very nice and very admirable.
The most epic scene was the bull overcoming the three lions despite having suffered bites from the lions yet goes ahead to overpower the lions even from the ground. Great lesson; never give up, keep fighting.

You're right. It's amazing and probably my favorite series for its capture of unique hunting behaviors that we rarely see on the other narrative-driven docu-series.
I wish I could see a documentary of how these film makers get these close ups of the animals and sea creatures. It's incredible! And I never saw flying fish before. I've seen in person fish jump out of the water. But I never heard of flying fish. It was captivating! This was an exciting video!
@@offkeymadness5463 I obviously know about drones. But that didn't occur to me here. However, drones are a newer technology and film makers have done the documentaries of wildlife for years. I know some took videos out of helicopters. And we have had helicopters for a very long time.
I feel bad for the flying fish. Imagine being born just to be a prey for predators neither water nor air at the same time. Life is really a constant battle for survival.
hope u feel bad for everyone then as everybody is everyones prey. mmmm wonder about us in the US or the world. oh maybe aoc can save the bears at the risk of humanity kills us all so they can save the bears! mmm wonder who us all is and who will be left to admire them since no one will be able to travel there much less film
@Gunshot 47 I can't say that every wound will get infected. I did see a documentary a while ago that showed some animals crossing a river. The narrator said the ones that made it past the crocs but still suffered injuries would likely die from infections or be preyed upon when they weakened from it.
Gunshot 47 it could be infections from the air, from the dirt on the claws, or dirty water if they wade through a pond. Since animals don’t think of cleaning injuries (usually) they create more chances of becoming infected by numerous factors
Cristian Chavez i mean humans have endurance, it is known that ancient humans that used to hunt were running after animals for hours upon hours and exhausted the animals to catch them, that and we can throw things like spears. So we would probably hunt deers and swines and stuff like that
JD Q Although it’s true we were a lot stronger back then we probably still couldn’t catch up to deers or buffalos etc. Instead, we used traps to corner the prey. The major shift from that life style is our agriculture and permanent settlements.
@@eriom There were clearly a number of cameras in the seal vs polar bear hunt, and it's a mystery to me how they positioned and operated them without spooking the prey or the predator. Drones are way too intrusive. And even setting this (seemingly insuperable) difficulty to one side, assuming they were fixed cameras, remotely operated: how could they know in advance that the action would take place where it ultimately did? Could they have used, I dunno, periscope cameras attached to stealth submersible ROVs?
Sir David Attenborough always has the best footage in wildlife. I love the Wolves best, the music of their howl. And that polar bear! Thank you so very much for sharing Sir
I felt so relieved that the polar bear caught the seal. When I see polar bears struggling because of ice shortage or whatever I always feel sad. I really hope they will survive but I think it's already over.
They're migraing down south to look for new sources of food. Some polar bears are being spotted in Alaska. There's already some hybrids between polar bears and grizzlies. So there's still a chance for their survival
