A fight between polar bears might seem intense, but it doesn't always mean there's trouble. What are your thoughts on this fierce encounter?
Bored Juveniles practicing for the real deal.
Can y'all please drop a documentary 😭
Large males of many species commonly spar to test their skills and strength, this also determines a pecking order in many instances. Less frequently females will partake, and humans play this game too. It usually starts in youth between more or less evenly matched peers. When there is fighting over food, territory, or mating "rights", one will usually back off, but when neither backs off it can get deadly serious. Ironically, it's not always the largest or strongest that wins, it's a combination of all that and sheer aggression and wits.

Great Bromance, love it lol Yep prepping ahead of time, for the breeding and feeding season.
'I'm gonna hit you with a rock' - the most human threat ever
rust
Only the rock wouldn't do that, SINCE HE'S THE ROCK
You mean, most canadian?
@@allen7615 Canadian moral superiority I tell you what
And when humans learned to launch that small rock at high velocity, it does serious damage.
Human: Sit down bear! *Sit!*
Polar bear: Wow, no need to yell. (Sits)
Exactly, don't talk to me like I am an uncilivised fool - Fool! But on a serious note all animals have intuition, which is the divine part of them, the same divine intuition human have.
Sharon Suddaby I think you’re mistaking the animals intuition and a mere coincidence
@@ciaranharper2796 not exactly a "mere" coincidence. Polar bears probably sit to show they gave up or rn't hostile anymore.
Most predators won't risk anything at all for food. It's a poor survival strategy. So if you sort of know how to bluff them you can kind of predict how they will react.
A coincidence to be sure, but def not a "mere" coincidence. If the bear is intimidated there are probably only a handful of things it will do. Chances are pretty good the dude gets it
True! Polar:WE R WILD ANIMALS NOT DOGS!😂🤣😂
Foo'd Bar not really a bluff when you've got the rifle he had.
This guy has better control of a wild HALF TON EATING MACHINE, than most people have of their dogs.
Meh, if the bear was really hungry, this guy would be transformed into a stinky pile of red pulp in no time. These documentaries are a poor excuse for them to showboat instead off showing the animals.
@@Toghebon Only reason he showboated was because of the safety insurance on his back. He said, "We're not an easy meal" because of that. If he had no gun, he wouldn't have been so confident, lol
Yeah, it’s nice to have a trump card.
@@Toghebon I think he had a rifle
He just knows the behavior of the Polar bear. He has no control over them at all.
It is so amazing that I can watch these wonderful things through my small display
Ok boomer
I kinda wanna do what they do
Look at u discovering the internet
Wow the comments to this comment. Turning a sweet and gracious appreciation of the comforts and technological achievements of modern society that allow us a broadening of knowledge & perspective into our planet,, into people trying their best to show how negative they can be.
H L My fault. Don’t remember writing that. All love and polar bears
I see human, want to greet.
But he has rock, so I take seat.
Isabelle Clarke keep spiting bars, bro
More like “want to eat”
Bars
Spitting
that's clever
The choice of weapon was a stone to fight a 1400lbs polar bear
And the high-power rifle on his back
@@ShemsWolf i m always curious to know a guides choice of firearm. Definitely high brass shells but i wonder if he's using slugs or buck shot. Regardless of his choice im sure someone will tell him he is wrong.
@@ShemsWolf yeah you're right. I just glimpsed the buttstock
It worked.
No lol. That was an intimidation technique. A sound for his divine attention. Incredible footage.
"Sit down..."
*Sit*

"My name's Bertie Gregory and I'm a National Geographic wildlife filmmaker!" He sounds so enthusiastic about it. "Heck yeah I'm a filmmaker! Of wildlife! For National Geographic!" It's great.

Better than movie guys
I don't understand how that guy with the beard could hold some rocks, when he must have needed both hands to support his massive iron balls.
AHAHA
The Guardian 😂😂😂😂
The shotgun at his back is probably giving some sense of security
Rykehuss yeah ...actually I was thinking of it too...in fact these men out there are endangering these beautiful animals already endangered by thinning glaciers..
filming should only be done where it is safe and in no way ,shooting an animal is a potential outcome 😕
@@alchemist436 they most certainly wouldn't shoot at the animal, just in the air. Most animals run away from the sound
Not a fight, just *Bear Bromance*
^^^@foodie animal .. Yeah weren't they a Hoot, I don't really like to see Animal's Dangerously Hurt, and it was more of a Size up than anything else, plus it's a bonus to have a Buddy to wait out the Freeze over with Anyways Ha!!! :P] .v ..
You mean a Bearmance
Bear neccesities
This footage is great. 4k. The narrators aren't trying to create false urgency. Not just a 2 minute clip. More?
They're all at least 10 minutes and I think we all know why ;) (watchtime)
I know! This is a great series
Why aren't they just drinking coke, they are polar bears right?
I think Santa took their job bruh
😂😂
We're can they get coke
Thats all I was thinking. When the guy had a rock I just kept thinking, try a coke
Can we get a HUGE round of applause for Bertie just standing there among the polar bears, waiting for action? *clap-clap-clap*
Still can't believe that Bertie Gregory was raised by polar bears. So crazy

Abraham Mclean I would never step near a bear no way
ImGiodarex You dont have a choice. In the woods a bear will smell you before you ever see it. And in 99% of the cases they gtfo out of there. But if a bear wants to meet you then you got no choice either, you cant outrun one.
A select group of animals have figured out a way to thrive.
Baby seal: Wwooooohhhoooooooo
That fight between the 2 bears was quite exciting; however, they did look like they were just playing. The close up footage of the bears was stunning!
They were playing slappies
Him: "If you look at me with the thermal camera, you'll see I'm actually in heat"
Me, a bear: "ayo?"
Everyone talking about how the guy controlled that bear. It's just cause the guy was canadian. He just asked politely.
Lollll
Those men are so brave!
being a Marine, Youd think I was brave...curls up in ball crying 10 miles from bear...LOL
With those shotguns 🙄
@@HunterZOro660 obviously they brought protection. What is your point exactly?
I’m pretty sure thats cgi that they are using. You think he stands 30m from a killing machine that could run to him before he could get to cover
@@HunterZOro660 oh yeah if you're in the deadliest environment you're not gonna bring any thing to defend yourself with
When the polar bear checks the humans out he’s like:
“mmmmm food or foe ??? guess I don’t wanna risk it “
That's deep to its level of intelligence that was a big decision
Oh yeah.. bear fight... Oh wait. Nope. Just a friendly bromance. Nothing to see here. But nice! He got the bear to actually sit 😂
😂😂 Be safe NG crew!
All these comments about "Why didn't he just use his gun?"
The bear doesn't know what a gun is. Wave it around all you want, it won't know what it can do.
Oh... you meant why not shoot the bear right off the bat? The situation was under control. Not everything needs to be shoot first, ask questions later. What a disgusting attitude to have smh.
Shoot a warning shot, it usually scares animals off
I mean...if they do end up shooting a bear, you think they would let us view the footage?? That part would get canceled out. And they can also put some bears to sleep too, tranquilizers etc, and then have a footage of another bear sitting down. How would we even know the difference.
@@onlypinda with polor bears loud noises makes them attack.
“Not everything needs to be SHOT first” Shot not shoot in this sentence.
Yeah but a 12 gauge shotgun round going off is loud as fk, way loader than anything that bear is used to.
Guy has shotgun on his back, proceeds towards polar bear with a rock.
the rifle was the last resort. as much as possible they don't want anyone dying tonight.
How American of you.
American way, "Bangbangbang", "Freeze".then ask himself did i get the order right?
@Samwisegamgee The Brave Someones got hurt in the feelings.
So he was suppose to shoot the bear For no reason? Tf
0:01 tries to walk like a cool guy
*Falls down*
Polar Bear: -comes closer-
Guy: I have a rock!
That is so very human of us...
Sit down... sit... *polar bear sits*
Spectacular to me
4:05
Bear 1: I'm tired
Bear 2: Me to
Bear 1: Truce?
Bear 2: yeah truce :)
Most amazing polar bear photography I’ve ever seen! Thank you.
One of the very few people I've ever seen understand animal behavior. He walked toward the bear. Used the correct breaking rapport tone in this voice and stood erect. Many many animal signals happen before an attack and this guy knew what he was doing.
"Steve told it to sit, and it sat." I should have known that these are trained polar bears.
@The Caribbean Flamingo Reacts stop what?
@The Caribbean Flamingo Reacts Yes, of course it was a joke.
I'm 42 years old honestly speaking just lately I have realized that living with animals makes you better human 😂
"we're not an easy meal" says the human with rocks. LOL I love it. :)
Ur hella pretty
As much as I want those polar bears to eat I don’t wanna picture them eating a baby seal 😬
First world problems / They don’t eat baby seals. They eat big ones.
Merry Graphix nope, they eat babies
yeah, the old ones will be great. bigger so it makes its stomach fuller. and not much effort to hunt them right??
I was whale watching one time and an orca/killer whale dove into the air and killed a seal right in front of us, its liked the whale sucked the insides out because all the skin came floating to the top with all the blood.
@@LimJayhey Huh. In a weird way, it's fascinating.
I truly appreciated the beauty of your documentary!😉
Wow! ..... You and your team are really cool (no pun intended)!
I learned the equivalent of 1 or 2-hour documentaries in these 10-mins videos (loved the previous wolf one too!)
3:32 * *Me and my brother fighting for the last slice of pizza* *
So many things could’ve gone wrong in that scene 😂
Another outstanding video, thank you so much. I have always loved time lapse photography also. Please keep these coming!
Polar bears are one of my favorite wild animals on the planet and that was an awesome sight to see between two male Polar bears.
" The most powerful force in arctic starts small, really small "
True for all natural phenomenas
6:43 bear was thinking "easy money"
Right
3:15 this shot is incredible. showing this master hunter his weapons, and in such a high quality
Guys. The bear actually SAT DOWN. Insanely cool.
Congratulations to this amazing team that performs such a great job so we are able to see how life is there...thanks!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Omg 4:38 is fkn adorable ugh 😭 and then right before when he was spread eagle laying there 😆 love this series ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This Bertie Gregory dude makes great wildlife films, awesome
5:46... COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!
So the only way to hug a polar bear is to disguise myself as one , wish me luck .
That was truly beautiful to watch thank you so much for sharing 🦋
Why does that sound funny: after hammering each other. Now they’re gonna snooze together lol
Amazing footage, I love Polar Bears they live such formmiable and profound lives
Hello Sharon
Polar bears really look cute.. Well how are you today? I wish you a happy day 🍒
04:37 Dude, were u trying to pull a Mike Tyson? Sheesh
Incredible footage and the huge guts these guys own, is just beyond one wonders !
I love Polar Bears!! Great documentary.
7:29 big guy walks off like he was thinking "whatever, those grapes were sour anyway."
Incredible quality.
Great job.
Thank you for the breathtaking documentary
7:04 what a beautiful animal 😍
Beautiful--please keep the videos coming--NatGeo is the Best!!
Thank you so much for making this beautiful footage!! 🇳🇱
It was amazing that the assistant told the bear to slow down and it listened. But when he told the polar bear to sit down, it actually sat down. It was so funny that I laughed outloud. 🤣 😂 😆 Maybe, he's like the Bear Whisperer.
You are joking right? It's all post-edited for views.
@@pascalenboug No, I am not joking. I myself have a way with some animals and they have listened to me. But I wouldn't take any chance getting anywhere near a polar bear. But even if it's post edited, I don't care. It was enjoyable to watch.
Wow, what an absolutely impressive product of Mother Nature. Nothing fascinates me more.......Excellent footage and message. 🙏🏼 Thank You!
crazy. incredible cinematography~ love it. respect to the RED for withstanding that cold
Lmao. Well played. That's friggen awesome btw
Time stamp? !(^o^)!
4:34
Bear 1 (Michael): “Why’d you wanna cross the sea so bad Tommy? You know there’s nothing there for you” he commented assuredly.
Bear 2 (Thomas): “when this sea freezes over I’m gonna eat every seal in sight, find me a beautiful mate and have me the strongest of cubs. They’ll be running circles around you saying all things silly like Uncle Michael lost his icicles” he boldly replied.
“Just you see” he murmured under his breath, shooing away any remaining doubt.
0:25 that stare O.O
Awesome seeing the big bears play and roll around.
Wow this guy straight up made a colossal bear sit. He also had the same voice as the trapper in RDR2. Bet he has some stories to tell as well.
See giant polar bear: "hisses"
Polar bears are huge carnivores and perfectly adapted to their rigid habitat, they have more muscle and strength than you might think and seeing two males fighting means witnessing a clash between giants. in fighting polar bears stand on their hind legs and push each other trying to bring down their opponent and use their powerful jaws to block each other. So if he has the opponent's head in his mouth he knows that he will not be able to use his jaws on him and this is the benefit of their great intelligence.
Lol the bear like CUZ, WE'RE YOU FROM CUZ! THIS MY TURF CUZ!!
Jesus that Polar was big and beautiful. You're very lucky to be alive
Wonderful narration, reminded me of a very young Attenborough :)
Polar Bear Fight Club=25 seconds of slap-fighting.
“Steve told it to sit. And it sat. 😆”
I want some more videos with steve, what a legend
Beautifully captured 💖
Hello Nisha
Polar bears really look cute.. Well how are you today? I wish you a happy day 🍒
0:25 Bear just gave us that stare down you see in anime when the villain or hero loses their mind
The polar bear: Mhmm I could probably get at least one of those humans over there.
Love the fact instead of using his shotgun he uses a rock to deter the bear from ripping off there limbs, at least the bear knows that if he messes with them than he looses his life.
Yo this guys filiming is incredible.
Bear: "You probably don't taste good anyway."
Bear: 'Forget it, I can't digest rock and two giant balls of steel.'
Awww they’re so cute ❤️🥰
But they find u delicious..
I wonder what this bear is up to if he’s still alive if he’s thriving what he’s doing at this very moment. So many questions for such an isolated and powerful animal
The polar bear definitely deserved a treat after he followed command.
Polar bears are so doggone beautiful and amazing!😁😘
At 6:45 the Polor Bear was just wondering if you had a Coke for him.
TheShowStopper01 🤣
Biggest Balls of All!! LOL
Incredible footage, these deserves more views than many things.
I never get tired of that 90 second intro
6:01 7:03 Precious🐾😗definitely majestic💜🐾💜
3:30 No, no, nooo! Where's the zookeepers? Where's the zookeepers?
These really are the most beautiful, coolest animals in the world.
This was great NGO! Hope to see more like it on youtube!
Facing the bear is a "hecknaw" from me
I live in James Bay, there’s been 2 polar bears that came where I live about first time in more than 100 years I believe. The temperature goes very high and very low.
How was the experience?
You guys are so good at recording and nice talking lol 7:12 so funny
