- Heavy weights with unexpected skills -
The grazing grounds of the walrus
This heavy weight is known for its characteristic, massive teeth that stick out
of the upper jaw. They are horrible weapons. Another distinct feature is their
weight: males can weigh up to 1500 kilos. A large part of this body mass is a
thick layer of fat underneath leathery skin - and it is needed because these
large seals live in the polar sea on the edge of the pack ice.
Without their teeth the animals could not survive - they are used as tools for
many things. For one thing the teeth are used as ice picks to pull their giant
bodies back onto the ice, then they also use their teeth to rummage through
the mud on the ocean floor to search for snails, crabs and clams. Except for
us humans they should not have many predators. But there is one other and it
is primarily going for their young - the polar bear.
It is very difficult to observe walruses: the arctic climate is the first deterrent.
The Australian walrus specialist Jason Roberts has been living in Spitzbergen
for many years and has been studying walruses and their family hierarchy up
close. He takes us on an expedition to the 80th latitude where we will observe
walruses as they feed underwater as it has never been filmed before. We will
follow those heavy weights under the ice and will be confronted with one of
the rarest sharks - the Greenland shark.
Good to see my people doing well.
One day, the Earth will be ours once more.

KOO KOO KATCHOOO
YES MY FRIEND, LET US TAKE OVER THIS PLANET
Indeed
No ur almost a walrus so those real walrus will beat ur but
Why is it that the British accent is just such a pleasure to hear when you are watching these documentaries?
Ernesto Palacios that s because you v spend too much time in the ghetto.
Ernesto Palacios Because we speak with good diction !
Ernesto Palacios sound good

You're right. It's so polite
When I grow up I'm gonna rescue then rehabilitate and then release walruses that are sick or hurt, cause a walrus is my favourite animal. I have 26 walrus stuffies a walrus blanket, walrus curtains, a walrus box, four walrus stickers. I LOVE WALRUSES😃
hope you do!!!
wow... that is a lot of walrus stuff. walruses are awesome!
Jeremy Smith, let the kid be.
@@jeremysmith8990 stfu idiot. He's not going to go up to wild walruses. Do you not know how conservation works? We need MORE people like OP, maybe then the world would be a better place.
Jeremy Smith. yes agreed a dumb libtard rekt epic style. Destroyed with facts and logic
Unlike other commentators, I salute brave underwater photographers like Nick Caloyanis for sharing with us pictures of the amazing polar sea life--at great potential cost to human life and limb. Thank you, Nick. It makes me proud to share Greek genes with you.
Get it on with him Greek style why don't you. Like ethnicity has anything to do with it. When the world is rid of idiots who think like you, we'll have even more discoveries.

I think he knows what he's doing. Either they don't attack humans, or - less likely - these walruses know him (and the guy who's filming him while he films the walruses. Still ballsy, though. He's one walrus with a toothache away from being pulverized.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful doc on the Walruses, as well as the other creatures included :) that Shark was amazing!
As the average weight of humans increase, it is only natural we move to the sea to live amongst the walruses and seals.
that's funny logic but more seriously it takes millions of years for a specie to evolve to supergiants, we will only need a tiny fraction of that to destroy what's left of the environment. Also if you are american then the big people you see around you are caused by regular ingestion of growth hormone from eating cattle meat when they went through puberty. They think they're big, but in fact they're victims. It says a lot that americans haven't even yet realized this due to an extremely corrupt and collusion food industry and the government FDA. Also did you know about the massive fraud of Monsanto ? their round up pesticide active product was misrepresented as glyphosate when in fact an official French research team lead by professor Ceralini has prooved doing multi-million research that the real active ingredient in round up are ARSENIC and petroleum toxic derivatives. Not only is ARSENIC absolutely illegal in pesticide but their misrepresentation of the active ingredient is fraud and criminal. The falsely called inactive ingredients in fact cause 1000X of the biocide effect and are extremely toxic as proven by the study. Glyphosate is only a decoy. This enabled them to do all their toxicity testing on glyphosate only which is 1000X weaker while they hid the true poisons as 'inactive excipient'. This is pure fraud worse than the worst drug traffiker or criminals. They should all be arrested and put in jail for the rest of their lives. The government agents get corruption money to shush off. Americans are basically laboratory animals. You eat arsenic everyday if you don't eat organic.
walruses are seals
@@goognamgoognw6637 woooooooosh
@@briankuthe4700 walruses are walruses. seal are seals.
Mauro Molinero And both are pinnipeds!
I didn't know I needed a walrus documentary this much. Honestly one of the best wastes of time I've ever had.
PointlessRhetoric I know right?! I didn’t know that I love walruses LOL
Its like watching My 600 lb Life in the ocean.
It can't be true,😅
😂
My 3000lb life
Dr. Tusk: You're eating 30,000 lbs of fish per day... you haven't showed me you are committed to the diet, so I will not be approving you for walrus obesity surgery
5:58, Im sorry, but I just can't keep it together after the line "Jason could never get away quick enough, especially not in his cumbersome survival suit"
the narration in this is so cute and cheeky. want to hang out with these guys and film too much walrus footage
Shady Character Art I’m not even 10 minutes into it yet and yes he’s wonderfully witty and cheeky!
P
Excellent images and informative dialogue. Loved it !
Wonderful film! Thank you Jason for bringing me to a world I would never know
otherwise!
Are you single Selina?
Great Documentary
Fantastic!!
I was so confused about the incomplete information about the Greenland shark, had to check when this documentary was made. Makes sense now!
Animals are so beautiful.... amazing beautiful nature which amazes us
I think it would be so cool to study a animal to the point of knowing them for a job, it would sure beat working in a factory’s like me for the last 34 years. If only I was….
The Walruses probably think the guy in the survival suit is sick in the head. Like the Bear-Man that ended up on the menu when things didn't go like he thought they should.
I love sea mammals. Waruses are my very fav. Amazing animals and very very smart.
Intriguing and beautiful ! Thank you.
One of the better ones i have seen thank you for your hard work
nzuri sana hii napenda kuwajua zaidi wanyama maji hawa from Mwanza Tanzania
2019 I like it from TZ swahili country
i loved this documetary.
Thank you. I truly enjoy your videos.
16:20 LOL HE TRIPPED
Lol!
Poor bastard.
😂😂😂
Smh. I'm about to cry watching them itch like that. They are supposed to do that to a certain extent not all the time. But the water is so hot that algae is growing and destroying their skin. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This documentary means to solve a riddle older than the Sphinx. To answer the question which has plagued us since we first crawled from this Earth and stood erect in the sun. Is man, indeed, a walrus at heart?
Perhaps not, but we can strive and we can dream.
And what about you?
Ray Leon 😈😉
Yes.
Man is a savage animal. Better to be a walrus. :)
that fleece hat Jason Roberts is wearing is lovely
beautiful and insightful documentary!! thank you
After watching Netflix I need some happy walrus in my life.
yup a different story about why walrus commit suicide too
Great great documentary. Thank you very much for yor work
I always get a good feeling when i hear a brittish accent on a documentary
Thank You - Wonderful documentary - Wild Life cameramen also phenomenal - !!
The way they get out the water, looks like me getting out of bed!
How does the water remain in liquid form if it's -2C? Is it because of higher pressure at depths?
Salt lowers the freezing temperatures of water
2019, where you at?
Not here
Nice to see a documentary about walruses. Seals need more attention!
I'm not an expert but imo seals are like the raccoons of the ocean
Wonderful rapportage of animals not so talk about. Thank you for your hard work
25,000 walruses in the smaller, Atlantic colony that eat at least 3,000 clams and oyster a day. That's 75 MILLION per DAY. Seriously?
Yasss ”shake those masses” 😂❤️
Brilliant documentary. By the soundtrack I'm guessing it's from somewhere around 1993... Correct?
thats one daaaamn big camera lens
They said the greenland sharks head is small. It looks no smaller than any other sharks compared to its body. And before this, I've never wondered or seen how walruses feed.
Beautiful Video.
I love walruses
Is that James bond narrating....sure sounds like Roger more.....love this doc....👍
Pingu's nightmares
you are confusing walruses with leopard seals
I’m friends with pingu
Jamil- Maybe this will shed some light ruclips.net/video/bFNGS0y64_U/видео.html
very nice script respectful of the viewer and polite.
after watching these big animals feed in huge food and there are so many of them, i think of god feeding them, and our lord have supply enough food to feed them,the amazing of our lord
Some food stuffs seem to include family members. lol
9:35, literally me though
LOL :)
I would absolutely love if there was a sub 150 pound walrus to own...in a very cold climate of course! I want to move to the Arctic and become friends with the walrus!
Walruses are aeswome.
Elephant seals are much more massive than walruses. Northern adult elephant seals range from 1.5 to over 2.3 metric tons and southern adult elephant seals from 2.22 to 4 metric tons.

But they aren't nearly as good looking and mesmerizing as us walruses.
those names sound like places in Skyrim lol

I'm curious about this fungus that is eating away at walruses always. When horses get a fungus, it spreads throughout the herd-more on areas of white fur or on horses just more susceptible. So, we always treat all horses when they move from one home, to a new home or boarding facility where there is no fungus. This way.. they all stay clear of it. Decent facilities keep a horse in quarantine typically 2-3 weeks to be sure all treatment and tests are clear. SO... wouldn't it make sense to just send a plane over the walrus clan and midst them with the antifungal, maybe three times in a week. That way all of them might get treated at least once, likely twice. Then they'd be more healthy with less wounds should any NEW fungal enemy come their way? It's not like it would cost a million dollars to do it. I realize we can't intervene for all the wild animals. But if we are talking about a possible extinction event due to climate change, then it makes sense to give them a fighting chance by starting off healthy.
The walruses vision is terrible, they can only see couple feet out of water, thinking they were on a beach they followed each other and the sound of the ocean off the cliff. It’s something that’s been happening for as long as walruses have been around.
Love how he said "experts agree that walrusses are dangerous in the water" . Like "No shit son".
How do scientists get so close to polar bears without being mauled?
The cameras can zoom in from a very very long distance
They dont
Its 2018 polar bears are in healthy numbers again
Put a string bikini on them and you have a typical scene of a modern day Australian beach.
♨️
Why am I terrified by these animals?
Walrusues never did anything wrong why you afraid of them
Hi, very respectfully, I ask permission to use a few seconds of your video for me to include in my content, I hope you like it and don't mind, thank you.
They just eat then nap and fart. That's like exactly what I want to do
Love the music in this
I watched this because I had a feeling it would show polar bears and walruses which are the animals that I’ve been thinking about most often lately.
Do orcas not eat walruses??
I'm guessing there's more tender morsels but who knows
Clau luevani, Yes, the transient Orca pods eat other marine mammals like baleen whales, walruses, dolphins, penguins, etc.
Bloody marvelous awesome
Ku ku kachew. My incisor has achieved maximum performance!
16:18 jason falls down !!!! lol
@16:17 Jason almost stumbles back as the nearest walruses shift their huge mass of fat and flesh.
😂
Walruses never cry
Why do walruse's go to tupperware parties?..... to find a tight seal...hehe
Sir. My mechanic told me, BIG CHUB, that it looks like I blew a seal.
WALRUSES!
I am, too.
no

Voi biển trên cạn chúng có vẻ chậm chạp nhưng ở dưới nước trong chúng rất nhanh nhẹn và khỏe
I thought elephant seals were the heavy weights?
Elephant seals are the biggest seals, (both northern and southern) but walruses are a good 2nd/3rd in line
behold natures cute ice pickers lol
Walruses remind me of my mother in law
nice music 28:00 who is it.
Are those walruses always high?
i love walrus!!!!
Oh look it's Mr Pearson and his other friends
16:16 care there, photographer
Welcome to Spitzburg Pennsylvania
Did no one see that the walrus swam away because Jason fell down...
Click bait.
when i seen the front picture of the two Walruses i taught this was another UN/NATO meeting. my mistake.
Englishmen love "the strict hierarchy". Especially their lords of course.
39:24 now we know where are all our muscles and who ate?
Did he really say polar bear won't attack walrus? Maybe not many but some do.
The walrus was crapping at the end. Imagine how bad a pack of them smell.
i cant believe 60 walruses jumped to their death in a "mass suicide"
Obviously the environment is not hostile to all life. For some reason, cold water tends to hold more oxygen than warm water. There is more life in the gravels of the northern and southern seas than can exist in the warmer waters of the equator. It is not a hostile environment.

Name of song??+
Nice🤩
Polar bears have been around for many many years. Ice or No Ice they have survived many different climatic periods.
lets just remember that in a 20 or less years these beautiful places will be gone
so *TAKE CARE OF THE PLANET!*
galaxypuglover that’s not our fault though
this isn't free. i paid by watching ads.
Paid by watching ads? 😂 If that isn't an entitled millennial I don't know what is!
SteldokraV.....AdBlock Plus. Problem solved. You're welcome.
it's not free for millenial. There is a minimum IQ needed to understand how not to get a single ad in youtube.
how about adblock?
your mother's milk was the last free thing you got in this world. Once you were weened, you need to pay your debt to society.
wow i was completely taken by the Walrus killing the Harp Seal thats trying to escape the bear. Are they that agile to be able to catch a seal underwater?
