This is why Wolves are strong warrior warriors; we should respect them for their boldness, strength and Unity. People could learn a thing or two from watching nature.
Bears rarely fall back on their Wolf encounters, wolfes are usually retreating since they all or most of them will die in a fight with bear and each of them knows that
Dang the bear got so scared they had to take a piece and run off but I don’t blame it. Also only 700 of those wolves are left? I hope their population will grow bigger over time.
Unfortunately, its not likely since wolf populations grow until they run out of territory. Humans keep expanding, which stops their reproduction. Or causes them to overpopulate and then they get hit with mange and other diseases and die off. 700 is probably a healthy number relative to the amount of wilderness the area has.
Wolves are very competitive and territorial, so vast regions of land are needed to sustain large wolf populations without all out conflict. As Jabber said above the increase in human population and the encroachment on natural land is only hurting the ability for wolves to proliferate.
The population has grown a lot the last 50 years or so, but we’re now at a point where wolfs and humans (or human interests) collide, so I find it hard to see that the population will be allowed tho grow much more.
@@BarbaOlof it isn't being allowed, but Scandinavia could easily house more than two thousand wolves without a lot of conflict, look at Spain a country that is still doing very bad work with wolves and a lot of people hate them, but they still manage a population of thousands in a more dense country. The reason the population isn't allowed to grow is because political parties use erradicating the wolf as a way to gain rural vote without committing to actually help farmers , then they just do a cull and everyone is happy, except the environment, and since a lot of people over there think there are more wolves that there actually are, there isn't a lot of opposition against this authorised wildlife crime, however they've been slowly climbing if only because the number of hunters has gone down so there is less lobbying pressure and the EU is protecting them but the moment that protection goes away, which the EPP is trying to take away you can kiss goodbye to that species because they will drive them to extinction, again.
@@JabberCT have you seen the amount of wilderness Finland, Sweden and Norway have, it's more wilderness than most of Europe, and 700 isn't appropriate as it is what is known as genetically isolated population, which means inbreeding makes it unsustainable, most scientists agree that the population is so genetically similar their resilience dooms them to a disease killing them in a hundred years if they aren't helped, plus if you look at the distribution, the most wild areas, the north are deliberately kept free of wolf because it would make it harder to artificially control numbers and the population would grow to what the environment can actually hold, currently its mainly hunters that don't want to have competition from predators so they lobby to keep populations low, look at Romania, a lot more area is farmed and it's about as big yet wolves population there is 2500 and it's not as isolated. The reason wolves are on the brink in the north is purely political and that's the reason every cull is met with opposition from the scientific community as it's been proven that the effects of culls on livestock attacks is very limited until you drive the population to extinction. The argument that the environment cannot hold more wolves is usually made by politicians and lobbyists trying to justify the culls to environmentalists and the european court and it has been proven as a blatant lie, 700 is dangerously low for such an isolated population and keeping them on the brink is only a shameful political move to satisfy hunters and offer short term fake comfort to farmers and herders, specially when followed with demands for countries like india and small states in Africa should care for predators because they look exotic
It really is fascinating that both animals knows exactly what their advantage is. The wolves with superior numbers surrounds the bear who is in the open. The bear notices this and immediately retreats into the forest where they can not surround it.
That was a MASSIVE bear. It’s hard to imagine it being run off by animals 3x smaller than himself. But it just goes to show there really is strength in numbers.
Wolves are fearless! Our crew got on camera wolves, not challenging one brown bear but three together! A battle of giants ensues when a pack of wily wolves tries to join a late-summer bear feast. The footage of the wolves’ speed and agility is incredible, and still hard to say if they're enough to outsmart their larger, very hungry opponents.
Yep. Wolves and ravens were revered in Northern Europe for many years. Nowadays everyone hates them because of associations with the devil and evil or just bad omens. Ravens were almost exterminated by gamekeepers here in the UK. A far cry from how Anglo Saxons and celts used to respect them
It's stupid, the goverment convinces fat hunters that the wolves are killing all the wildlife and for the safety of our forests and towns we need to keep them below 300 in population
Not very strict. Norway is probably the worst country in the world when it comes to wolf management. They have a goal of having 40-60 individuals within a "wolf-zone" bordering Sweden. All wolves leaving this zone will immediately be shot. Sweden want to limit the population to 170 from 465, but some associations are pushing for 100 or 0. Compare these numbers to Poland, Spain and Italy that has thousands of fully protected wolves and you see how extreme the wolf policy in the Nordic countries are.
Because of the sheep and cow and reindeer industries, who roam freely in the wilderness without any enclosure in the summer. So for the sake of the industry they destroy the lives of wolf, bears and wolverines.... I live there so i know how it works :(
People just put some weird meaning on those animals like they're super brave, lions are pussies who run away from fights constantly and eat babies. Wolves are too, they can just outmaneuver the bear and bite it in the ass until it bleeds to death if they want to, bear is too slow and fat.

Great family of animals.
Beautiful documentary footage, usual conservation pitch ladida until "there are only 700 left" . SEVEN HUNDRED?! holy shit. Thats like an accidental lightning bolts worth of wolves. I hope these beautiful animals can be protected through law and enforcement.
@@olliefoxx7165 A lot more than today.. And they were a part of it. But not so much. The most known is probably the Berserkers. Elite fighters that wore bear skins.
What? One of the most legendary Viking kings was Björn Ironside. Björn literally means bear. Berserkers, the Norse warriors, wore bear hides to make them look more intimidating. Berserk means bear hide shirt. And if we expand to the Nordics as a whole, bear is the king of the forest in Finnish mythology. Bear has loads of nicknames in the Finnish language as it was seen as such an important image of nature. Mesikämmen, otso, kontio, kouvo, metsän omena...
@@heinedenmark I have heard of the berserker wearing the bearskin into battle. That must have been a fearsome sight. If a man wore a bearskin he must have been a very brave, cunning and strong warrior. I have read where the berserkers were eventually shunned from society bc they were to savage and dangerous to be around. Perhaps the bear became associated with the berserker and it was shunned in mythology as a result of the association. Very interesting.
Brown Bears take up to 60- 65% of the wolfs kills. Its a routine for the wolf packs to lose their kills to single bears. If he really was hungry, the wolfs would have to wait until the bear was finished. Here, he had eaten and was full.
The "safety" of the forest? Interesting choice of words. This pack just intimidated and ran off the largest and most dangerous apex predator around. (Unless you count men with guns, of course. Only 700 left and there's an actual hunting season?!? The compulsion to kill something just because it's wild and free is deeply ingrained. SMH.)
Well, the hunting is sort of necessary to not have the wolves attacking sheep, rain deers and come to close to people. I personally don’t live in an area full of wolves, but I do understand those that those who do would want to keep the of their back yards.
And they should be allowed to establish to the north where there is very little farming and agriculture, of course protect reindeer herders but a wolf pack is a lot less dangerous to them that than the lichen scarcity caused by bad forestry practices, which are also supported by the government, how odd it seems the government can decide if they want to support the sami people or not care about if they are given a paycheck
@@BarbaOlof wolves rarely attack sheep, and governments acknowledge this, but they earn too much money from the rich trophy hunters from America or sadly even here in the UK. They are actually trying to ban the import of animals hunted for trophies here in the UK (thank god). But yea agriculture and the safety of people had nothing to do with it, it’s all about satisfying the bored rich people that want to shoot something for a pretty ornament or to pose for a picture on their Instagram
@@Solstice261 - There have been attempts, but the wolves naturally soon migrate south to better pastures again. Sadly, people would rather kill them than wall in their livestock or risk losing one now and then.
@@mokarokas-1727 i see I imagine they tend to want to follow reindeer when they migrate south, and since there is more than enough space nothing is keeping them, still with how many wolfs some countries in Eastern Europe have. Allowing only 700 for a whole part of Europe is horrible, I think here applies the fact that wolves never left eastern Europe so people there know how to be safe from them, guard dogs are common thing as well as keeping an eye on livestock, this means that livestock is generally well protected without having to be told so to them having wolves is normal while for people in northern Europe ir is a change that makes their life harder, however it's hunters the ones that are more willing to exterminate the species, farmers don't like wolves and will appreciate their erradication but it's hunters the main ones lobbying for their disappearance

I often worry about the wolves here in Sweden. They have been teeming on extinction for so long, i hope that these noble animals will grow stronger, and their numbers will grow larger
Do you live in southern Sweden, mayhaps Stockholm? Because I can tell for you sure nobody that actually lives where the wolves are wants them to grow stronger
@@TheLastCrusader22 I live in gothenburg, i understand that they are troublesome for people up north, but i still value ecological integrity over making sure people dont feel bothered. The line is crossed once peoples lives become threatened by them, but for now the only problem is livestock loss, which should be covered by insurance (not saying it is, i dont know, but i think it should be covered by insurance)
@@drozzo3211It's the livelihood and cultural survival of the sámi we're talking about, that's more than "being troublesome"! The sámi I've had the fortune of meeting in my life have all been on the same page: there must under no circumstances be wolves in reindeer-herding areas (meaning, in effect, from northern Dalarna northwards, i.e. not even limited to Norrland). Now of course, the sámi are not opposed to there being wolves elsewhere in Sweden, they don't care, but they know better than anyone that you can't command a wolf to stay where we tell it to! Everytime that has been attempted, the wolf has started immediately marching northwards (and they can move up to 90 km a day) and we've had to spend literal millions to tranquilise it from a helicopter and transport it south, wash rinse repeat. There is no greater threat to sámi cultural survival than the wolf. You can read that on their own website samer.se ("Vargen är det rovdjur som är värst att ha i närheten av en renhjord"). So don't claim it's an "inconvenience", it's their entire way of life threatened and that's why they will adhere to "skjut, gräv och tig" if they must (and believe me, they do)
Aint it funny how in every documentary They always talk about how much scarier and tuffer the wolves are then the bear I mean, come on, odins special warriors? Have they even heard of berserkers And plus if he wanted to that bear could have destroyed that entire pack
What's up with recent nature documentaries playing most of the footage in slight slow motion? While it looks cool at first shot, it gets nauseating after few moments.
wow, great job, all scenes in this documentary are extraordinarily beautiful! I feel BBC could stop doing world news cuz most presented are fake news…why Not focusing on producing movies, mini series n documentaries?
I'd choose to fight 10 wolves I mean. Risk against 10 and maybe you can kill 6 or 7 and then run. If you'd definitely lose for 1 bear in a 1v1, why would you even try. In case of wolves, facing 10 wolves doesnt mean that you need to kill all them. If you kill 5 or 6, the rest might get somewhat scared.
Wonder where in Sweden this might be to be able to gather such an outstanding collection of healthy predators all in one place. That looks like a forest rein being used as bait. Somewhere in the taiga, towards the Finnish border maybe.
@@SwedishWanderer That's what I thought as well, but I checked the BBC page and it states clearly that it's Sweden. It even says so in the title. Not that I'd trust them 100%, these nature programs do a lot of fishy stuff, but that BBC would call their series Sweden and film in Finland, I don't know why they'd do that.
@@QualeQualeson I can guarantee you this is in Finland, there are several nature photographers who have taken the photos of the same wolves (you will recognize the light one) in Finland. We don't really have bears, wolverines and wolves in the same place in Sweden.
@@SwedishWanderer I believe you. It's strange that the BBC isn't being called out for it when they put Sweden in the series title. A lot of nature enthusiasts from both Sweden and Finland are likely to recognize as much. Even I, a Norwegian with no direct experience from these areas was puzzled when I saw the footage. Very strange.
As much as I love BBC documentaries, they always go way too far on the Foley mixing, adding non-existent noises and growls to footage. It's way too much.
No it's actually one of the most dangerous countries for wolves with sanctioned culls that keep populations low, similar thing is trying to be done with bears, look it up is horrible and shameful
No they’re not. Wolves are considered critically endangered, at least in Finland where I assume this is filmed even tho Finland is not part of Scandinavia. They’re being hunted legally and illegally of which the latter one is the most common cause of death for a wolf in Finland.
@@BarbaOlof except I do, though I am not a farmer and I understand why that may keep them awake at night, but we need wolves and a population of 700 for all of Scandinavia it's shameful when a lot of other countries can manage mor with similar and higher population densities, the government should quickly compensate any livestock lost to predators but also not make a cull against a population bordering on extinction, specially if they are later going to act as if they had the ecological high ground compared to other nations, plus most of the culls come due to hunting groups lobbying and the only thing they suffer from wolves is perceived competition, I am sorry it may be hard and farmers and herders must be helped as much as possible but Scandinavia must achieve around a thousand wolves whith interconnected wolves or they will go extinct, and I trust you don't want that, if you do and think wolves are useless and evil, than there is nothing I can do to change your mind, but know that most studies agree having wolves is good and Scandinavia should stop the culls as they aren't helping

@@drozzo3211It's the livelihood and cultural survival of the sámi we're talking about, that's more than "being troublesome"! The sámi I've had the fortune of meeting in my life have all been on the same page: there must under no circumstances be wolves in reindeer-herding areas (meaning, in effect, from northern Dalarna northwards, i.e. not even limited to Norrland). Now of course, the sámi are not opposed to there being wolves elsewhere in Sweden, they don't care, but they know better than anyone that you can't command a wolf to stay where we tell it to! Everytime that has been attempted, the wolf has started immediately marching northwards (and they can move up to 90 km a day) and we've had to spend literal millions to tranquilise it from a helicopter and transport it south, wash rinse repeat.
There is no greater threat to sámi cultural survival than the wolf. You can read that on their own website samer.se ("Vargen är det rovdjur som är värst att ha i närheten av en renhjord"). So don't claim it's an "inconvenience", it's their entire way of life threatened and that's why they will adhere to "skjut, gräv och tig" if they must (and believe me, they do)
Poor wolverine he'd just started to eat a bit but the ravens called the bear and the wolves
Bear got a nice piece
Where can i whatch the full episode of wild scandinavia? Ive searched all over youtube but i have not seen a full episode anywere.
🐻 vs 🐺.
Aint it funny how in every documentary They always talk about how much scarier and tuffer the wolves are then the bear
I mean, come on, odins special warriors? Have they even heard of berserkers
And plus if he wanted to that bear could have destroyed that entire pack
1:16, what a great scene.
I love videos like these pls keep making them
North America used to be like Africa so sad most of the animals left are small .
Imagine a battle of a Wolf Pack and a Hyena Clan over a carcass.
That black wolf ... is a monster
Wolf 🐯 are great.
awoo...?
Very beautiful video!👍
You know shit is real when wolverine runs from that bear, wolves are truly most brave animals, only having huge fear of humans
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What's up with recent nature documentaries playing most of the footage in slight slow motion? While it looks cool at first shot, it gets nauseating after few moments.
Wolves are beautiful!
The voice ❤
wow, great job, all scenes in this documentary are extraordinarily beautiful! I feel BBC could stop doing world news cuz most presented are fake news…why Not focusing on producing movies, mini series n documentaries?
Stick to ketchup

Wow, original.

Is it safe for a human to visit Scandinavian wilderness? I'm not sure after this video.
It depends on where you go, when and what you do. Generally? 110 %
Love wolves
Nothing remotely this cool in the UK anymore.....barely any wilderness left and what there is absolutely swamped with visitors.
Thanks , fantastic 💪👍♥️♥️♥️👏👏🙋♀️
These CGI graphics are amazing

I'd choose to fight 10 wolves
I mean. Risk against 10 and maybe you can kill 6 or 7 and then run.
If you'd definitely lose for 1 bear in a 1v1, why would you even try.
In case of wolves, facing 10 wolves doesnt mean that you need to kill all them. If you kill 5 or 6, the rest might get somewhat scared.
Gelungenes Video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
Damn not the wolves
Che bell esemplare di orso
Wonder where in Sweden this might be to be able to gather such an outstanding collection of healthy predators all in one place. That looks like a forest rein being used as bait. Somewhere in the taiga, towards the Finnish border maybe.
This would be impossible to see in Sweden, it's in Finland.
@@SwedishWanderer That's what I thought as well, but I checked the BBC page and it states clearly that it's Sweden. It even says so in the title. Not that I'd trust them 100%, these nature programs do a lot of fishy stuff, but that BBC would call their series Sweden and film in Finland, I don't know why they'd do that.
@@QualeQualeson I can guarantee you this is in Finland, there are several nature photographers who have taken the photos of the same wolves (you will recognize the light one) in Finland. We don't really have bears, wolverines and wolves in the same place in Sweden.
@@SwedishWanderer I believe you. It's strange that the BBC isn't being called out for it when they put Sweden in the series title. A lot of nature enthusiasts from both Sweden and Finland are likely to recognize as much. Even I, a Norwegian with no direct experience from these areas was puzzled when I saw the footage. Very strange.
Yep you got it right. Almost impossible to see them without baiting
Wolfs North america's top Predators
While you are right this video is in Europe.
So they are both Europe and America’s top predators.
Yeah wolves rules
Amazing 👍
I used to believe that bears don't eat carcasses and corpses.
Nice vid
If that was a north american grizzly bear he wouldn't be running of with some of the food he would stay and feed on the carcus and fight the wolfs off
700 is sad..
Ulf, Bjorn & Hrafn
Wolves need to be protected they’re soo awesome I hate farmers who hate them even though they DO kill livestock
❤❤❤ Scandinavia

Wow

Only wolves 700 left? They should be now protected u dear some Act to revive the population
Riz vs Legoshi
Mormont vs Stark.
If you are going to present CGI as real at least give us a simulation of David Attenborough's narration
Cgi?
As much as I love BBC documentaries, they always go way too far on the Foley mixing, adding non-existent noises and growls to footage. It's way too much.
Didn't know wolverine was actually an actual animal
Neither did Hugh Jackman
Such Majestic Beasts
Memorizing indeed
God is Good 🙏🏻
Which God? The same who bring cancer on newborns?
North America used to be like Africa so sad just small animals left and bears .
I love the fake snarls and roars! Come on BBC...
Narrator is no David Attenborough 😄
No. It's Rebecca Ferguson
All those people who say wolves don’t have alphas, explain why those 2 are much bigger
There are two adult wolves and the rest are their offspring...

Were in Scandinavia?
Finland I believe
@@Kingsaxxy3872 why?
If you want to know how to properly raise a dog, watch wolves.
Unlike humans,the bear was smart enough to know when to quit.
Gave up like a buster
Nice to attract animals to make good footages...
animal of bhawana bhakuni [ wolf ] .... srk [ shah rukh khan ] .... intelligence
At least in Scandinavia they will be save. I hope.
No it's actually one of the most dangerous countries for wolves with sanctioned culls that keep populations low, similar thing is trying to be done with bears, look it up is horrible and shameful
@@Solstice261 Well, it’s easy to say when you don’t have them near you.
No they’re not. Wolves are considered critically endangered, at least in Finland where I assume this is filmed even tho Finland is not part of Scandinavia. They’re being hunted legally and illegally of which the latter one is the most common cause of death for a wolf in Finland.
@@BarbaOlof except I do, though I am not a farmer and I understand why that may keep them awake at night, but we need wolves and a population of 700 for all of Scandinavia it's shameful when a lot of other countries can manage mor with similar and higher population densities, the government should quickly compensate any livestock lost to predators but also not make a cull against a population bordering on extinction, specially if they are later going to act as if they had the ecological high ground compared to other nations, plus most of the culls come due to hunting groups lobbying and the only thing they suffer from wolves is perceived competition, I am sorry it may be hard and farmers and herders must be helped as much as possible but Scandinavia must achieve around a thousand wolves whith interconnected wolves or they will go extinct, and I trust you don't want that, if you do and think wolves are useless and evil, than there is nothing I can do to change your mind, but know that most studies agree having wolves is good and Scandinavia should stop the culls as they aren't helping
