Never thought a bear could catch a whale.
Yep, this is a new one on me
Life goes on as always🙏🏽 humans raise sea levels, polar bears lose some ice but get some more aquatic life on their menu as a result lol
I've seen a documentary where polar bears we're hunting fish in a river like a Grizzly Bear cousin's with salmon.
Maybe in the future they evolve back into Grizzlies?🤷♂️
Well to be fair…Its literally the smallest whale vs like the Largest Bear. Polar Bears can reach 10- 13 feet and a Beluga are like 11-16 feet. This is not a Grizzly going after a Spermwhale.
How smart does a polar bear have to be to figure that out ? That is unbelievable
Beautifull , intelligent nature -always humble ❤
@gabrielgilbert9162 OK Joe rogan, calm it
@Zangief ☭ it’s both u Mong. How is that not smart
I remember watching them hunt on the snow, and they would cover their black nose so as to make themselves harder to see. Incredible!
@Zangief ☭ it’s both
What make this brilliant is that the polar bear has to have a sense of how the beluga thinks and behaves
No, it has to have instinct.
@@marcteenhc9793 You don't get it. The Polar has to know the Beluga pattern/behaviour. Otherwise it would swim after it or something foolish. "instinct" would be a polar bear killing anything that moves.
@@miamitten1123meh it’s like the attention span of cat. Will chase a toy until it knows it can’t compete or catch it then rests out of laziness. I think this is more the mentality of it.
It’s called conditioning and natural instincts
@@miamitten1123do you not realise using your brain is also instinct polar bear develops this strategy after several mistakes and several generations passed down this wisdom through instinct that's why the older one got the kill because of more experience which gets engrained in his instinct and passed down to his next generation
OMG they are very healthy looking Polar Bears.
They look So cute
i was just thinking these are the healthiest polar bears i have ever seen usually they are so thin 😿
The bears are enjoying Beluga these days.
Polar bears are terrifying
One of the only animals they see humans as prey animals
Ask Joe Rogan
- Watch me, old man! I'm gonna go catch one right now!
- You have much to learn, young grasshopper.

hahah :D good comment!
Master of patience there. It takes literally hours for the tide to rise that far
Old Polar Bear sits on a rock until the tide comes in & so do the Beluga whales, then waits for a young one to swim near, jumps from the slightly submerged rock & snags it. Now that's the brain of a well seasoned predator.
Analogy: Man sits watching a couple dozen stocks. Notices certain one's go up & down thru a certain range of prices. After watching patiently that range repeat 3 times for a certain stock, he waits for it to hit the low, then buys, then waits for it to get near the high & sells - $ profited.
@@parrsnipps4495 that’s such a noob strategy lol a man needs to learn market cycle theory and Eliot wave theory at the very least before he sees “profit” like actually learn how to trade.. This polar bear is a lot more skilled than a person that trades a range and thinks he’s making “profit”
A terrestrial carnivore that can hunt whales is AWESOME in my book!!!
TRUE GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOW
@@freddiestranger9783 Can you substantiate your mythology?
It can swim too
It's classed as a marine mammal, not terrestrial on account it spends most of it's life on the sea ice and in the Arctic and Pacific oceans.
@@augustseptember3503 GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD 🙏 JESUS CHRIST TODAY 🙏
Honestly, it’s pretty satisfying to see a polar bear and find some food and feed itself
@Johann Reiter hey polar bears are really starving animals
@Johann Reiter okay polar bears can't visit the local supermarket so yes this is their food
@Johann Reiter the polar bear is a beautiful animal as well. This is just nature and that whale is definitely food.
Yeah, I hate videos where they are unsuccessful and the narrator goes "welp, better luck next time bear!" Like bitch there may not be a next time.
@@johannreiter3364 I'm sure the whale is a vegetarian
Bear: waits for hours.
Me: honks at car in drive thru
If polar bears unlock the team work trait they’d be unstoppable.
Lol, the way the Belugas did a periscope bob-up from the water at the beginning to peep out where the polar bears were lurking 😂
There is a name for it I forget but killer whales do it too. I think it’s called spy hopping? It’s literally just them getting a look it’s so cute lol
Spy hopping
A whale of a tale, it bears more scrutiny.

@@freddiestranger9783 you’re goddamn fucking nuts
@@freddiestranger9783 Can you substantiate your mythology?
@@Dr.IanPlect you two have a room please
Seems like every time I watch these videos, the prey always gets away. This one was so satisfying
agreed i love it when i see polar bears or lions or wolves actually get to have some dinner, they look so skinny half the time you can tell most of these more obvious hunts that humans actually notice are because the animal hasnt had a good meal in possibly weeks
This is problematic. How come they didn't cast any black polar bears?
They are black. They only have white hair...
No non binary, trans, polar bears too
@@lambdalambdalambda257 it's sarcasm
@markthomas6703 No brown bears also
Thanks for degrading this video with your attention grabbing comment
Smarter than the average bear!
Nope.. Forced to be different cause it's entire environment is different.
@@Stance1988 Which is the same,it's evolved to be smart just like white people are evolved to be smarter than other other races
@@Stance1988 so then it is smarter wtf
@@Stance1988 yr comment doesn't change the narrative lol
Fascinating and such a wonderful video documenting these bears. I find it interesting that they are just studying each other in how to hunt and almost like they are socializing together through hunting
Good hu
Almost?
@@Entonces yes almost as they are apex predators that mostly live through solidarity which means they prefer to be alone for most of their livelihood
His patience is masterful.
You are a genius who taught me a lesson tonight I knew how to be a patient but with this bear approach who knows how to be patient tnx, It is an experienced genius who ever recorded and docs it.
INDEED GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOW
@@freddiestranger9783 Can you substantiate your mythology?
@@Dr.IanPlect The Bear who chooses his/her time on a carefully chosen rock while the other goes after the Belagus and the open water the Belagus are impossible to catch and his tactic clearly isn't working, there is a trick to this and it's all down to the tide.... all are in video but as u asked as the water rise the Belagus come down to shore better for the Bears and experience has taught them how to be an efficient hunter and it is all about patient and experience in all life phases and experiences.
Indeed
@Mand The ignoramus is muted.
They are crazy and brilliant hunters never mess with a polar bear 🐻❄️🥶
Maybe the swimming bear was a distraction. So long as the whales are keeping track of him the other can pounce unexpectedly.
Just imagine how hungry this would make you to see your dinner 20 feet away just so close.... and in the same time so far..
The wiser bear should start a workshop or couching sessions on how to successfully catch the beluga for other inexperienced bears. They'll definitely get a lot out of it.
Casting couch
It seems like they were working together on some level.
It will be become capitalism
Cute..meow..meow...😻
Kept sitting like the good boy he is
Seeing your life before your eyes
music for this is perfect
C'est incroyable chasser un béluga dans l'eau! Les Polar bears ont du talent à revendre. J'aime la vidéo!
Cute pola bear!!!
Imagine risking your life just to scratch that itch you can't reach.
Bears just start eating while the animal is still living
I’m fkn baffled at how that bear caught the baby beluga being that it was swimming with its mother n family! They’re so smart I can’t see how they would get anywhere near close enough for that bear to get it
Maybe the baby one didn't know the polar bears were a threat and got closer out of curiosity. If the bear sat there all day long the baby beluga might have been intrigued
@@33BottlesOnMyDesk possibly but they usually stay right next to mom n she doesn’t let them stray
That’s what I’m
Saying… I don’t see how a polar bear can outsmart a beluga whale.
@@jamesd7495 theres no standardized way to test animal intelligence, but in terms of hunting and catching prey a polar bear is a greater genius than most sentient organisms could hope to be
@@JubioHDX Completely wrong. Looks like you need to get educated about killer whales, spèrm whales, jaguars, African wild dogs, falcons, etc. They are way above Polar bear.
You are what u eat they say...
Stay Polar!
Unusually, they can swim
Gorgeous 😊
Pretty amazing they're smart
So many people still think other species are automatons.
Plot twist: the bear swimming and doing all the work was trying to push the beluga whales towards the bear on the rock (coordinated effort) 🐻❄️🐻❄️🐳
Very cool video. Always amazing watching nature do it's work.
WAIT! This is from 11 months ago? That would be 2022. Al Gore told me all of the Polar Bears would be dead by 2015 if we didn't give him money. Liar!
Wow, very BIG HUNGRY BEARS! John P.
Thanks. ✌🏻👊
Wow, I didn't know that about polar bears.
You have to keep in mind the beluga is very smart. For a bear to outsmart it in water is crazy
Not that I hate belugas but I'm glad the bear got its feed 👍🏻
If I’m ever being hunted by a polar bear, I’d hope it’s the moron one.
A WHALE ? More like a Trout !!!😂
This is like trading, you have to wait for the good setups
The bear on the rock: Don't worry just wait here, they'll come to us... The bear in the water: Fine, I'll do it myself!
1:10 Tide is the rise and fall of sea level due to the attraction of sun and moon.
Many people here saying: how can a polar bear be this smart. I wonder why everybody thinks they are dumb?
It wasn't all lost for the less experienced bear. It learned to eat seaweed.
Fantastic skill .
Natural born killer 🐻❄️

@@freddiestranger9783hallelujah 🙌🏼
I learned from this video: timer better than worker
Like from the movie Interstellar when Matthew McConaughey (Cooper) says to Anne Hathaway (Dr. Brand), “you don’t think nature can be evil?” She says, “no.. formidable, frightening.. but no, not evil…. Is a lion evil because it rips a gazelle to shreds?” Nature is beautiful.
The Game Wardens aren't doing their job, Beluga whales are protected, they should have given those bears a big ticket.
I thought belugas were so smart

Everybody knows. You always ambush a beluga.
Gota love nature 😀
Oh, those poor cute lil whales!
FUCKA YOU WHALES!!!! FUCKA YOU DOLFIIINNNNN!!
Wow, that was amazing! 👍💕

Didn't even know bears ate belugas.🙁

If bears could talk, patient bear to impatient one: Dammit, quit swimming around and messing up my game!
Those bears looking right at food “the camera men” at the beginning of this vid. They are ruthless predators when it comes to food.
Meraviglioso e crudele nello stesso tempo!!!
The camera only catches the split second attack. Camera guy needs to have the same patience as the bear.
baaaaaby beluuuuuga
yum
"bro Im hungry, gonna try eat dis"
grizzlies hunt salmon polar bears hunt beluga whale
The strength of a polar bear must be something absurd if we were even able to measure
They weight over 1k pounds, can run 30+mph, and swim for hundreds of miles in freezing temperatures. They are super OP.
Nothing special. They are just as strong as required for that weight. Infact, Kodiak bears are pound to pound stronger than Polar bear.
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457 where did you get that info?
Me too i am waiting for the tide but I never catch anything 🤣
I had no idea they ate whales. Amazing.
So, the only chance of surviving over polar bears is in the air. Damn, gravity...
I was expecting beluga whale to let go of bear but predator got a good hold of it. Strength is incredible.🔥
Just a baby whale
@@aaronbarlow4376 BBC got them catching large Beluga. I heard they hunted them but always thought it was just some old wives tale and then they filmed it.
@@Gooniessss Adult beluga is impossible for any polar bear to hunt unless it is trapped in a water hole with barely any space to move. In open water like this, only a baby or at the most, a juvenile can be hunted.
@@Gooniessssno you are lying
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457yep
I'd be the stupid impatient bear and try to chase them 😂
Same here
You would need so much power to swim in that current.
Grocery shopping 101.
this bear is literally me fr fr fr
Grizzly: *Hunts salmon in river.
Polar bear: Hold my beer.
Beluga whale blow holes sound like me hitting a rep on a set. 😂
Amazing
Glad they've found a way to hunt that doesn't depend on the now-disappearing ice.
LOL
Impeach racist pig kid sniffing biden
Agreed🙏🏽 Love that bears are so inherently adaptable. Less land and higher water levels? To a smart bear all that means is more variety in whats on the aquatic dinner menu🤞🏽
The hunt on ice flows in the spring, on land in the summer, and starve all winter waiting for the spring to melt the ice and break it up. We never hear about polar bears being threatened anymore, because they simply get longer hunting seasons. Their numbers have been increasing steadily.
@@Idontwantahandle6669Let's see how that increased population fares once all the prey is gone year-round because the ecosystem is collapsing due to global warming.
Fam caught that whale like a Grizzly catch a Salmon 😅
Blubber on the menu. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
While his brown cousins are hunting fish, This guy is hunting whales.
How dare the narrator assumed the gender of the bears!
Looks like the swimming bear prods the belugas toward the bear on the rock for a well-timed ambush. They hunt like orcas.
❤❤❤❤
Good US voiceover!
Only If the bears were as big as a great white, they could've easily made killer whales an endangered species😂
Polar bears are beautiful creatures. This animal conservation should be put in place so that it does not become endangered species.
good idea
Ppl can hunt them. Just need to pay money for it
By the time you see a polar bear it's too late.
these two males brothers? they seem pretty relaxed around each other
Don't know where in the Canadian arctic this was filmed. I visited Cunningham Inlet on Somerset Island and saw many Belugas along with their young swimming. Although there are polar bears around, we saw only polar bear tracks in the sand.
