The way he swims... is a state of art. So relaxing watching him swim.
He swim so effortlessly
Yea he good.
Wow, so insane how they can swim and survive this cold
Amazing footage, what an animal.
와 정말 지존이다
어떻게 저렇게 망망대해의 얼음장을 깨고 홀로 수영을 하는지....
내가 고독하다 생각했는데 이 친구를 보니 삶은 고독하지만 멀리서 보면 대견하고 아주 멋지구나 생각이 든다..
감동
made me cry every time i see it
That's amazing swiming skills.
he's looking for coca cola
Awesome, one of the all-time highlights of celluloid!
Did anyone noticed that he swims breaststroke at 1:16 !!!
Beautiful animal!!!
Graceful effortless beautiful!
The lung capacity of this bear must be extraordinary!
Their are plenty of polar bears
EVOLUTION
60 miles from the shore WOW
You don't wanna stumble upon that guy while his out hunting on stealth mode. Polar bears are known to kill and eat just about anything they can catch including humans, unless if you're well armed to the teeth or with rifles. Food is so scarce out there so they will do anything just to stay alive out in the Arctic.
Well you are right about that.
is there possible to find the music somewhere on youtube?
You can do it buddy I know you can !!!! Gosh I'm getting tired thinking of this
everytime someone says that an animal will die, i begin to cry ;s
wtf did it die? omg i dont think i wanna know. such a beautiful creature man. i love it.
I have been obsessed with them since I was 5 yet their reality saddens me they are born in the artic but due to our changes in weather and the effects it took on certain landscapes seals migrate and they are forced to take a chance in open waters to hunt risking drowning.
Just keep going...
Just how do they make this videos, how?
Be interesting to see where polar bears would’ve evolved to, being such good swimmers. Something like a much scarier whale.
Volibears here!
Dont u guys ever ask your self, how this bear finds his way to the land?
wow.. amazing !!
He uses same kind of breaststroke technique.... the legs movement (frog's kick) are exactly the same to humans...
There you have it, three different species with same physiological behaviors .... thats got to mean something...
@ThorkilKowalski The reason there are more bears is because there are now strict regulations against hunting them. That doesn't change the fact that polar bears are dying because of ice melting. Huge chunks are in fact melting, earlier and earlier. That's a fact. And ice is in fact what allows them to hunt for food. It doesn't take a lot to put two and two together.
can you cite this please
А если встретится на пути касатка или акула?
Does anyone else feel bad 😭
Yes I do, feels so sad, so hopeless not being able to help it!
How on earth can a polar bear last in super ice cold 🥶 water
Why can’t they do something to save the bear
In the entire series full of amazing moments, the time (2:10) when the Polar Bear takes a breath, fighting the ocean currents and dives into even deeper waters before emerging to seamlessly unending sea - is definitely the most powerful, awe-inspiring and tear-jerking at the same time.
I watched this episode again with my date last night, and it's a wonderful way to share love for nature with another person you don't know much about.
@Connor664 this made me cry too! its so sad :(
Little?
Yeesh dude I really hope he found land...
the opening music is on Batman Arkham Asylum.
how could he have any energy left tp catch any big sized prey for meal? Just too sad
These things have stamina like you wouldn't believe. One was recorded swimming for nine straight days. Global warming is a myth by the way.
Lol
Extinction has come very very sad
No
@jmrut1992 but they wont die all so its nature .
Did he find land???
+terralynn9 He did, but what happened after that is saddening.
Bk Jeong What happened next?
Bk Jeong
Literally the biggest cliffhanger comment I've ever seen in RUclips history.
@ARBuilder1776 But one day he will grow tired of swimming, you do too. So why wouldn't polar bears?
very sad
That's so sad ;_;
😱
Mean what?
So sad
really sad
@ThorkilKowalski "As of 2008, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) reports that the global population of polar bears is 20,000 to 25,000, and is declining. In 2006, the IUCN upgraded the polar bear from a species of least concern to a vulnerable species. It cited a "suspected population reduction of >30% within three generations (45 years)", due primarily to climate change".
@JBME OOPS hope my 5.6 liter V8 nissan titan that only gets 14mpg didn't hurt you to badly, or my 2 stroke 225HP motorboat that burns up about 20 gallons in a day.
That's sad that if the polar bear male does not find land it will die
I think he's the one that died fightng walruses later in the show...:'(
yeah I want the Polar Bear be saved in there soemhow in their so called wilderness in the Ice water's....... they can survive please God''''..............
LOL Polar BEARS CAN SWIM UP TO 200 Miles in a day so its not that rare to see a polar bear swimming. WOW Anyone heard of propaganda?
Wow. Poor guy. :/ That's Gobal Warming for ya.
dammit. this is the saddest thing i've seen in quite some time.
@Julie15gtc
20,000 to 25,000 is way higher than it has been for a very long time:
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000 bears, up from as low as 5,000-10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. A 2002 U.S. Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the polar bear populations 'may now be near historic highs,'" it read. What you are writing is mere alarmist speculation. Pure fantasy.
@ARBuilder1776 Erh.. that was not the subject I'm implying on and I can't read in my comment that I said anything about Al Gore and plants and everything? So your comment is irrelevant. You've made your point, stated your opnion and step aside to let people state theirs.
i thought polar bears couldn't swim
Me too
poor Bear... most likely WILL drown because we've melted all the ice.
tere's nothng sad here, recent studies show that a polar bear is capable of swimming continously for two weeks i.e. he will cross the whole ocean unless attacked by sharks, though he will lose like 20% of his body fat.
surely we humans are the greatest curse to ever have inhabit earth. Will god ever forgive us for what we have done and continue to do to nature?
Poor polar bear. Stop global warming people
Why do they have to be so dramatic? Polars Bears are known to swim 150 miles in certain migrations.
crypttonite exactly, humans can live from grass, so why are people whining about hunger anyway
@jmrut1992 If you actually didn't get all your facts from youtube videos, you would know that polar bear populations are on the rise. Also, look how this polar bear swims. To me it swims like a boss, and it looks like it is covering more area swimming than it would walking on top of the ice sheet.
your nervous, rambling attempt at justification reveals your insecurity with your own way of life. you need to look deeper into the facts camel
@azimuth361 Mammoths, wooly rhinos, saber tooth tigers, and other megafaunas have seen 100's of ice ages come and gone. If it was not for men these impressive beasts would probably still have roamed this planet. Oneday polar bears will be gone along with many other present day megafaunas and their skeletons will be on display in museums around the world right beside dinosaur skeletons. What nature does in 100's of millions of years we human are doing this in a matter of a few thousand years.
What absurd propaganda for such a beautiful site to behold! We see more polar bears because there are more of them. These guys can swim 100 miles.
I wish everyone who sees this enjoyment without the ridiculous AGW guilt.
"in these new surroundings, he is surprisingly adept at swimming"
hahaha, he says that as if the ice doesn't melt every year. global warming didn't create summertime. no wonder the polar bear is apedt at swimming because he does it every year!
the plight of this polar bear is an exaggerated dramatization made convincing by well-edited footage. the vulnerability of their species is speculation. dont worry ....polar bears are doing just fine in most of the arctic
This made me sad as hell bruh. Like I want Polar Bears to live, but how? It's not like we can just flip a switch and turn off all of humanity's damages.
I hope that bear survived. If not, I hope he had a quick and painless death.
I agree humanity has polluted the world, but polar bear levels are actually pretty high! Ice naturally melts during the summer and then freezes again.
Of course the Earth's atmosphere is changing, the same way it has changed over the past 3.8 billion years. This planet has been hot, cold, more CO2, less CO2. There have been mass extinctions, ocean have risen and fallen, ice sheets have advanced and retreated long before man came along. In fact, for most of Earth's history, it had NO permanent ice. We're at the end of an ice age. The Earth is returning to normal.
Stop recording and help him you evil people
sick of greedy human activities in this planet! until when we will aware of such disaster?!
