"Now you have to swim back to land. Everything seems to be going smoothly until a huge weird looking black and white colored seal catches you and drags you underwater until you drown"

[@kadecase7470]

While I was working up on the slope a couple months ago we heard that the rangers saw a polar bear and 2 cubs get caught by a pod of killer whales, it was the craziest thing I’d ever heard

[@imamazunfa]

Orca!

[@bkjeong4302]

Orcas (mammal-hunting Atlantic population) are an invasive species in the Arctic: they don’t do well in sea ice, but global warming is taking care of that obstacle. Also, I really doubt a polar bear would think an orca is a seal, and the orcas currently invading the Arctic mostly eat other cetaceans (which is what that population traditionally eats in their usual Atlantic haunts).

[@azymondia7734]

Orca never kill what they don't eat and they are piky eater so no most likely

[@vincentx2850]

@@kadecase7470 If true, that would be the first account of killer whale predation on polar bear.

I read recently how polar bears have evolved quite quickly (~250k years) from grizzlies, and are already quite different due to their diet and the amount of time they spend in the water (more than 50%) so I’m now convinced they’re becoming whales and I will not be convinced otherwise. Whale bears!!

[@eljanrimsa5843]

250k years was an old estimate from 2010. The most recent study from 2022 estimates polar bears split from brown bears more than a million years ago.

[@bobbyboy1797]

Loved the Polar Bear shimmy and the fact that you mentioned that interbreeding with brown bears. Would've been also cool to mention that sometimes you'll see a gaint submarine appear out of the ice and you'll try to eat it.

[@canaldecasta]

That poor brown bear was looking to get some game :(

[@charlesbradshaw5183]

1:31 that’s not a male polar bear. That’s just the average Svalbard resident.

All of them are tho. The males and females have the exact approach to mating.

Great videos, I've binged all of them and love them ! You are one of the only channels I have now turned notifications on for. I enjoyed this video as well, but definitely missed the cut ins to actual footage of the animals ! I'd say especially when it's about cute animals like baby polar bears and seals, it should have a positive impact on viewer engagement and retention as well

[@Jamestoland]

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I’ll have to have a play around with the next video and see how it goes

Is it ok if you could do the next "your life as-" with black bears. Black bears are my favorite bear! And I live in Apalachicola so seeing them is very cool. Especially when they are young and the ears look like doe ears but they are just young but when they are old the ears turn into a circle more. Bears are just awesome so if you would be able to do that in the future that would be awesome! If you dont want to that is ok as well😊

I’ve already started on the next vid but they can go in the mix for the one after!

iirc polar bears are one of the few animals that will actively chase down and eat humans. Likely due to the harshness of their life they can spend days hunting a meal.

[@Megafreakx3]

My favorite polar bear behavior is an ambush technique they use on the sea ice. When waiting at a breathing hole they place a paw in front of their big black nose to camouflage it from seals.

It really shows the adaptive nature of bears considering these Majestic beasts live in one of the most inhospitable climates and do pretty damn well for themselves. On a slightly different note, did you see that paper talking about polar bears using large rocks at high ground to hunt walruses?

[@Jamestoland]

Didn’t see that, sounds quite interesting

[@chancegivens9390]

@Jamestoland That's what I thought! I mean it's certainly possible. Bears overall are rather smart, and I imagine one that's accustomed to the harsh conditions of the Arctic would be even more creative to get food.

[@archivesofarda986]

Still better than a 9 to 5 🤷‍♂️
