The Life of a Baby Polar Bear - Ep. 4 | Wildlife: The Big Freeze

- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- In this episode we witness one of the Arctic’s most magical moments. With the help of a one-of-a-kind local tracker, we find a female polar bear fresh out of her winter den with her tiny new cub. We see ultimate cuteness as the cub explores the world outside for the first time. Their irresistible interactions distract from the fact that the mother bear is actually making an impossible decision. The mother has spent the last eight months starving, so she is eager to rush to the ocean where she can hunt. But to reach the seal feast means a 40-mile trek. Does she wait to allow the cub to gain strength for the long trek, or does she head out to sea to make sure her milk doesn’t dry up?
We also follow a young female bear in her first moments of independence, having been kicked out by her mother. She has spent the last two and a half years with her mother preparing for this moment, but she quickly manages to get herself into trouble. Will she be able to survive a wolf on the hunt?

Baby polar bears are left behind by their mothers at a young age, so they must be ready to handle any situation. What intrigues you the most about this ritual?
What intrigues me most about this ritual is how does the baby polar bear protect itself while the mother is away? Does it just stay in the den?
Love this new series! Is there a standard that allow the mother polar bear to know cubs are ready to stand on their own?
how easily and suddenly the mother bear disconnects from its baby!.. pretty scary feeling..
How is information and behaviors passed from the mother to the cub?
i think baby polar bears each have unique personalities, so i wonder how they can survive the odds against them, given that they have to go through life on their own...=)
‘He just wakes up, and mother is gone. ‘ Bruh
Ikr like tf
Be like that sometimes
Hilmer Cruz I know the feeling
Such a harsh reality for baby polar bears!
Well, two years is shorter than 18 or 19 by a long shot
The filming crew deserve a million thanks for the wonderful footage
skw2جميع4ďy
You're right
No they don't, because they killed the baby polar bear after filming. They're horrible! They did it because they didn't want competing nature shows to be able to film the same baby, increasing the value of their footage. It's really horrible, but it's a very common practice in the nature-documentary world. They kill the animals after documenting them to make the footage more "exclusive". Monsters.

My lil heart 🥺 “polar bear cubs wake up to a hard truth, mum is gone.”
Bertie Gregory is so cute BRUH you can really tell he loves what he’s doing! I mean look at his smile and how he looks when he talks about the bears, he lights up like a little kid. ❤️ it’s so heart warming

The wolves targeting the polar bear. Polar bear targeting the seal. The seal targeting the penguin. Penguin targeting sardines. Nature is really survival of the fittest.
And human targeting Mother Earth...
and nature targeting human now in march 2020
@@AliHassan-ct2ey so true...
@@AliHassan-ct2ey oof
Nature and humans are like polar bears and wolves. One is always trying to get an upper hand on the other.
wolves becomes human pet for some reason
The sound of walking on snow is literally so satisfying
Asmr much😌👂🎧
"The Arctic is no place for cute."
Some bold statement !!!
Very bold indeed! i like it though
@@StevenTillyer got some deep meaning 👍
It is damm cold up there!
Well actually it is, unless you're a cute human. They been there for centuries. We just found them a 100 and some odd years ago!🤷🏿♂️👍🏿✌🏿
@@rhuttrho88 Well...depends on who you mean by "us" i guess. Human presence in the Arctic goes back tens of thousands of years....
That cub gets only 2.5 months to learn on " *how to be a polar bear* ". And here I am 25yrs old and clueless on " *how to b an adult* "
It's 2.5 years not months, you were right about being clueless.

@@forestdweller5581 i say this too much but its too late. Haha
My heart melted when little polar cub hitchhiked on the mother. He’s so cute! And the way the cubs eat their own paws like human babies is just too much cuteness to handle!!
I love how Berty adores and genuinely loves and respects the animals he is filming and the nature, his passion and enthusiasm are contagious
the relief was palpable when the bear made it into the water. Phew!
We agree with you on that one! Such a win for the cub.
poor wolf, he thought he could eat when his prey fell but magic bear instant teleported into the see
David wow spoilers much
Didn't you a bit overestimate the wolf? That wolf even 2 or 3 of them cannot stand any chance against that bear. The bear escaped just for a piece of mind, not because those wolves were a threat.
@@Teri_Berk the bear could have just eaten those wolves. Hunger problem solved
You know that feeling when you watch these kind of videos and you have the urge to take all of the species of the animal and take care of them and you know you can't but still want to and it breaks your heart to know that? Yeah I feel you.
@Keith M well it's completely different now with climate change & plastic ruining the ocean life
@Keith M population control? You do realize they're on the list of endangered species?
@Keith MThese polar bears are in the number of thousands. Eating and killing millions of humans for population control will be a good idea for you though. The no. is at 7 billion
Keith M why would u tell us that, no one cares. I’m a hunter and if I see a mother with her fawn I never shoot
Keith is joking u fxcking nuts
I can feel the helplessness of baby polar bears, it's heartbreaking seeing that. In such a difficult situation, the survival range is getting smaller because of melting iceberg, humans should stop doing bad things to the earth, save our planet, save those priceless creature.
With more renewables, things will slowly change.
I have Hope things can get better :)
Am I the only one who's virtually cheering that polar bear?
I was screaming "Ruuuuuun babyy. Ruuuuun!" as if it could hear me. 🤣🤣
awww
Polar bears have it rough. Imagine being left alone at 2 years old. And the percentage of survival drops once global warming kicks in. We should really start saving the world more, at school we have a motto called “save the polar bears” and we use it to remind us about this. Every single day. If you’ve read this far thank you 💗
And I hope you love a good life.
Very true indeed!
😞
Global warming has already "kicked in"
Global warming is inevitable, we can't 'save the world', mother nature is doing its own thing, we may play a part in the world 'warming up', but it's very minuscule. Our planet has been alive for over a million years and it's just time, our planet wont be officially dead for the next 10 million years or so, because the heating and cooling of our planet is a cycle. Remember, the ice age? If that happened now people would blame humans on it 😂
Anamanico that’s true though the ice age was really no one’s fault 😂
Hard to believe something so cute grows into something so terrifyingly fierce..
for survive and nature circle life
Like humans
@Caffeineoholic Soul We have everything we need, but we will never have everything we want. Human greed is destroying this beautiful planet of ours.
@@drranjithsukumar yes thank u we need to save the planet and animals not kill it

He's indeed a nice person
Why not both?
Both huehue :3
Yeah 😅
6:50
polar bear: "HEY have you seen my mom anywhere ?"
* humans not answering *
Polar bear: "deaf sunavabich "
I am sad when the mother left her cub I wonder how he felt he was alone I am crying
Phew! The suspense is killing me. Little cubby has grown and can take care of its own self now. 😊
So cute right! :)
Super cute though when they're young. Sooo.. cuddly!!!

Does anyone else here get an Attenborough feeling from Bertie? I mean he constantly keeps me interested along with the amazing wildlife content.
I think it's his enthusiasum and excitement for this, you can tell how happy he is to share this stuff
polar 101
Yeap! He can be the next generation of a sir Attenborough figure and I can listen to him anytime!
I had already tears in my eyes if the bear were to be caught I'd have cried myself to sleep
"The Arctic is no place for cute"
me: finally a place for me
Lol

Who else wishes we could have a full hour episode each Thursday??
Always left with wanting more!!
Definitely, these short videos are torture, just get into them and they end!
Yeah, the trend of shorts is bad
Verdade.
"Polar bears are born small and helpless ",,,,[insert] AND SOOOO FREAKIN ADORABLE!
Какие хорошенькие милые медвежонок с мамой!
I love how happy Bertie looks. He looks like he loves his job so much. I would too if I can witness amazing moments like these.
My heart stopped for a minute...nothing like films made by national geographic artists!
The little bear was so adorable ❤❤❤❤
So beautiful and so cute watching the baby polar bear with its mother.
Does a grown cub ever run into it’s mom? Also, does the cameraman ever feel like intervening? It would be hard to watch something and not want to do something to help.
Stephanie Does Stuff not sure about the first one, but i’m sure they’d want to intervene. as heartbreaking as it may be, it’s the biggest rule of nature: no matter what’s going on, they can’t help the animal in any way. it interferes with those lives greatly.
-Stephanie Does Stuff, this thought crossed my mind.. when the cub kept on smelling in the air.. I was sure it was going to run into its mom..
Incredible footage, thank you, thank you, for sharing with us. 🙏😚💕
Very cool footage indeed! :)
We're glad you enjoyed watching!
@@NatGeo Thank you very much for making these!
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
I wish these films like this appear every 10min on TV everyday for reminding people that they’re destroying these lives everyday by trash and make them almost extinction!!!

God’s creations can be watched endlessly, thanks for the video!
Eulampia Romanova, Very good comment. Yes, God is great in His Creation..Just so sad many don't believe in God.
It's simple
I see polar bear cub
I click it so fast
And wolves
Me: I see cute cubs I clicked .05ms
This is probably one of my most favorite natural documentary. It’s almost BBC level of nature documentary. Beautiful filming, beautiful soundtrack, not overly dramatic and the narration is also spot on. Well done National Geographic! Looking forward for more!
Not sure how you’re measuring “almost BBC level”. I agree that BBC leads the charge in nature filming, but the actual clips in this are as good as anything BBC puts out.
Love how the cameraman is rooting for the young bear like runnnnn runn runnnnnn , loves his personality as well ,how he sees and interpret them
I love how enthusiastic the filmmaker/host is! Almost a childlike curiosity and ability to marvel at nature's wonders :-))
My heart stopped when the wolf started to chase the bear
The wolf needs to eat to it’s the circle of life
Ye but if the bear was full grown it would be the other way around, not even a full pack would dare challenge a grizzly let alone a polar bear.
@@lathafalls7675 no it doesn’t ! Bye !
These creatures are so beautiful. Humans need to save them and other wildlife species before it's too late~
What if it is already too late? You and me would be doomists.
Yes yes yes thank u we need to save God’s planet and animals not kill it
Bear gonna come back to its den and ask why tf it smells like human.
My most favorite animal.
Polar bears always are my desktop background.
I hope global warming does not get worst and breaks their environment.
They look so cute 😊
1:00 OMG CAN I CRY THIS IS SO CUTE
I've watched National Geographic and other animal documentaries my whole life but this guy is definitely my favourite. He's so fascinated by everything and his jokes are always hilarious.
This Arctic series, with Bertie Gregory, is worthy of the highest accolades and awards the industry can apply. I have been mesmerized, informed and inspired by this wildlife series more so than any in recent memory. Well done, to you and your team, well done indeed!!
8:17
When your mom cooks your favorite food 🤤
😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂
3:24 me whenever I see something small and adorable
It’s amazing how they film this without fear.
Idc if the human race doesn’t survive but these creatures should. They deserve everything.
Nature is a gift sent from above. We are liable to save mother nature.
This innocent creature are so cute, we must protect them and rescue a polar bears.
We Must Protect Them From Us!
@@vin6665 That would be easy for you. Go to the Arctic. Protect them from us? I am not shooting no polar bears. As a matter of fact i am not shooting any animals.
0:01 Is that the cutest thing ever or what?
7:26 the bear is biting the ice so cute 🥺🥰
1:25 breathtaking view. its like some fantasy world you would only see in movies or books. but here its capture. im astonished. i will remember this and hold on to that feeling.
Bertie is so great! Not only does he create incredible images, he's also a wonderful narrator and very entertaining
The excitement of the crew loved it! Pretty much part of the family after watching the bear grow up ☺️😀
One boy asked me about polar bears and Arctic animals all of a sudden today. I watched a lot of videos about the artic since two weeks ago and I’m so glad that I can answer all of his questions with confidence! 🤣
I love how my RUclips recommendation is now full of animal documentaries and cute videos just because i watched a single video from this channel
Another wonderful episode 🎉. Can't wait for the next❄️
Once again, absolutely fantastic filming, love the narration too! Amazing how polar bears ever survive, with all the obstacles they must face between nature and humans. Thank you Mr. Gregory and your whole team for a wonderful series.
Nothing beats this video for the beautiful artic and polar bears. Thanks
I literally wanna cry at how cute is that polar bear cub. Omg I wish I could hug and pet that cute little darling. I’m in love ❤️
YES! Another episode! Thank you, my favourite series Wildlife: The Big Freeze, thanks to Bertie Gregory and co. for making this all happen so we can learn more about our precious Artic animals and their ever changing environment.
We're glad you've been enjoying the series!
Omg. National Geographic replied to me! Arghhhhh! This series has made me one of the biggest National Geographic fans ever!! I watch NG every evening (and sometimes BBC Earth). I hope The Big Freeze continues for many more episodes. It’s my favourite ☺️
It’s amazing how these animals are
Incredible animals indeed! would be great to photography these guys :)
They melt our hearts, and in return, we melt their homes.
Baby polar bears are my absolute fav
That's right look so cute babe bear 🧸
Wonderfully Captured and great editing,its National Geographic. A Big Name.
Making short movie or a doucumentry is a headache really requires so much time, patience and planning. The Movie we made during Collage was fun,but mostly I worked behind the scenes, choosing Costumes, writing dialogues, most importantly making notes and study material for others and myself because I knew they'll miss the time so mostly I'd be seen in the Liberary some or the other classroom and writing poetry. Because I believe more efficient people could do the stuff like shooting and editing.I'm not so good at working with Cameras thought I own three.
3:10 literally one of the cutest things ive ever seen❤️
2/ 12 years to learn everything in life n Mama says goodbye we have a life time of learning from our Mama truely amazing 🙏❤️
Mr. Bertie Gregory is so fun to watch!!!!! I usually don't register the words they say and just focus them on the film. His enthusiasm makes my attention span stronger.
Bertie Gregory is the Bob Ross of National Geographic.

I am convinced that wildlife journalists are the nicest and best people in the world!
They melt our hearts and in return we melt their homes
The cameraman is cute ;)
Yeah I mean he’s also a beautiful part of nature
Imagine the amount of separation anxiety all polar bears have to go through. It's so saddening 😭
It's insane what ice mommies endure, such incredible beauties.
I just really wanted to hug that Cute baby bear. Arghhhhh😍😍💖💖💖
You guys deserve all the gold medals of the world. Another thing which I learned from this video is getting used to solitary life really takes time and courage. 💓 🇷🇺
Happiness of the world lies in this beautiful nature...so beautiful💕
What is surprising is the ability and persistence of those who photographed the bears rather than the bears living in the cold winter.
Qyarantine got me on an arctic video spree starting on penguins then seals and now polar bears
I wish that this series never end.
This guy’s so chill and he always seems so interested. Love to see him make more videos
the enjoyment this guy has for all of his documentaries is so motivating
Filming the absolute natural behavior of the hunt must get soooo hard.
'Ruuuunnnnn' ..
I felt that.
