Steve Backshall Was HUNTED By A Polar Bear!

[@TonyM540]

Making yourself look bigger in front of a polar bear just makes the polar bear think…more food.

[@1NTEN7ION]

Best chance you have is to just eat the polar bear first

[@bigo3093]

😂😂😂

[@blackbond2406]

Lmao!

[@DaneofHalves]

The polar bear has made a living of killing elephant seals twice the size of a polar bear. What do you think you are gonna be against that? Either have a gun or say your prayers.

[@sp3k7acular]

The guy in red with the cap is so annoying. Interrupting to tell awful jokes about wind in the willows or just straight up retelling a Ricky gervais joke.

[@bizzaro1988]

Nobody is in red

[@petegarnett7731]

Why do you think Joe Marler used to wind him up all the time on the rugby pitch?

[@Algorithm347]

I agree with most of what you said , apart from red , I think you mean purple ?

[@MGE9436]

Agree. Attention seeking. Black hat is no better.

[@MGE9436]

Why did you ask this guy on your channel. You keep interrupting him. We want to hear him, not your God awful jokes. Black hat, red hat.... STFU

[@Liam_Grey]

My whole childhood was steve. I wanted nothing more than to be him. He's a living legend for me.

[@TommyHax]

The guy in red stole that joke from Ricky Gervais, nice try.

[@UnderwaterJohn-fn7jg]

He thinks he got away with it 😂

Advice for coming across bears If its BLACK - Fight back If its Brown - Lay down If its White - Goodnight

[@sonjatheierl1]

If you have seen a polar bear in the wild, you have been hunted by a polar bear😂 Steve meeeeeooooooww

[@1797alyuisus-yb3pg]

I saw a documentary years ago. The camera man was in a steel cage, the polar bear stayed for hours trying to get him. The crew could just sit and watch until the bear gave up.

[@MattEllis-o1f]

Its cool they talk over each other constantly

[@BonesTheCat]

I was photographing birds of prey in Australia and I heard wild dogs hunting me. Thankfully they were "yapping" and I could hear them getting closer and giving me a heads up. They stopped that talking when they were around 200m away. They also had to cross a deep but thin river to get to me. Gave me time to get away. I can't imagine something like a Polar Bear appearing next to you. Dogs were bad enough.

[@leakcity4083]

Steve’s a legend he made my childhood great

[@actontreadway1168]

I also was attacked by a polar bear but luckily it wasn't able to scale the enclosure at the zoo. What an adrenaline rush!

Already has, ages ago.

If true the polar bear is a known killing machine, which fears nothing far more predatory than grimz

maybe if they didn’t talk over the other person he wouldn’t have forgotten his question

Steve needs to go on Joe Rogan podcast and tell this story

[@PaulDear-jb2bu]

Btw, my wife really does suffer with Bi-polar. And I'm not joking this time.

[@MbisonBalrog]

I dont know if applies to all bear, but never run away or turn back. It triggers prey reaction. Make yourself big, and aggressive with sound.

[@usposandman]

Hmmmm. Was he "attacked" or did he avoid an attack? Certainly happy for the man.... but the title of this video is sus.......

I’m not laying down for a brown bear are you crazy ..

[@barbclark458]

**Don’t follow their bear advice** If black bears attack, it’s bc they’re starving and aim to eat you. Grizzly’s don’t just “leave you alone”, if you play dead--especially if it’s a mama bear. Roll on your stomach, cover your neck and pray they don’t flip you. Polar bears HUNT humans, there is no defense other than long range shots with a fully loaded high powered rifle.

[@robertwaid3579]

Till this morning 🙂🌄 I'd never seen or heard this discussion. But the round table format is just great & fantastic. The topic by the one fella is a recurring one of interest too me. As he mildly mentioned, about Bear's? Of the four types in North America. IF it's Black? You should fight Back, IF it's Brown lie down & stay quiet ( Grizzly & Brown Bear ?) depending on it's attitude. IF it's White as in being a Polar Bear? You are most likely already Dead. They are known as the White Death ☠️💀. Those are the rhyming verse's too the saying's. Truly of the Apex or Lg. predators Polar Bear's 🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️ are the most lethal, dangerous, and notorious one's, most likely too stalk & Kill you. IT'S been proven hundreds of times. Thanks.

[@elliotspencer8129]

Interesting comment because there was a study that analysed DNA from yeti hair samples along with local accounts to discover it actually was an extinct relative of the polar bear!

[@Milkydrummer]

Guys…. Stop talking over eachother. It’s not a good listen.

[@rebellion2054]

Lovely posh chats

[@jedi_knight_PhD]

Just take some male Alaskan Malamutes with you. That is how the Inuit stayed safe for millennia!

[@augustseptember3503]

Never liked him after he publicly criticised a team leader on camera when on an expedition, criticising the leader for 'bottling it' with regards to a river rapids crossing. Backshall made sure the team leader was not present when he made the criticism, which only added to the injustice, Backshall didn't give the guy the chance to defend himself.

[@Dob_Ogurt]

He's a legend. You never criticised anyone before?

[@Vincent-n7o]

I was attacked by a polar mouse!!

[@tr7b410]

Stop cutting the cheese.lol

[@FrancisDietPodcast]

James shut up .

[@AdamMcMurtry]

It depends on the brown bear if it’s a sow and cubs you play dead she’s only trying to neutralise the threat to her cubs so if you play dead she may get to be satisfied your not a threat anymore and leave you alone but if it’s a boar your really dead if he comes for you

[@TheWhooah]

Are sportsmen so thick that it takes 3 of them to interview 1 intelligent guest? Stick to rugby lads.

[@11ATrev]

You must be 50 if you still look at all media as interviews. This is called a podcast. It’s a conversation with a bunch of friends. It’s a new invention

[@ChickenAndACanOfCoke]

I once managed to fight and win against two polar bears at once. I choked the first one out with a standing D'arce choke, then stunned the second with some well timed jabs, before a jumping left hook knocked it out. All the female polar bears started cheering and made me their king.

[@chayeso1319]

save you 5 mins with this clickbait he encountered a polar bear not attacked.

[@RandomRants525]

I love how experts can be wrong sometimes. Being big and confident is the last thing you will do if ya with a Gorilla. And your only chance with a polar bear is take off clothing and drop it and keep moving you may have enough clothing to get to safety before freezing or loosing the race. WHY? Because PB's have a version of ADHD and anything out of place with a scent on it will peak their curiosity and they take time to investigate it thoroughly giving you a slight chance to escape.

[@GoodBadRugbyClips]

This is hilarious

[@Thulgore]

Also......american badgers are very different from european badgers.

You was never in any danger 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

Grizzlies and black bears have alternative food sources but a polar bear only has meat. If you are something that resembles meat you're on the menu.

[@Eddy-u1r]

No he wasnt dont talk shit.

[@davidjacobs828]

Backshall has a royal marine sniper called aldo kane with him on these arctic expeditions . If a polar bear gets too close aldo blows it's brains out .

[@BlueMew92]

So he was attacked by a bear in the same way the one on the TV attacked me this morning.
