3,000 Arctic Reindeer Face a Mighty Water Crossing - Human Planet: Arctic, preview - BBC One

[redsoxvette]

I would like to give that girl a more comfortable life, she's a babe and a rugged bad ass.

[sucram174]

horn? or is it antlers...

[justscreamscene]

couldn't she have taken the wee deer swimming back into the boat?

[Olivier3880]

rainbow at 2:44

[Olivier3880]

it looks cool



[yenkstarr]

nope, just chuck testa

[narfdog101]

WHY DONT THEY FLY

[moemoe1085]

umm Elle is a hottie!!!

[varatera]

if you look at 1:51 the antler was already broken

[PickenBonz]

@varatera That was a different deer. U can hear the horn snap as she's grappling with it, it swims away from her, U can see horn is broke @ 1/3 way down & still dangling. At 1:51 an entire antler missing with blood around the wound. She DID break the antler, I could hear it snap. Norway is beautiful, the same type scenery as Alaska. The entire area of Arctic is stunning. Norway, Iceland & Japan kill whales - against the Intern'l Treaty. Can't visit there until they come into compliance.

[xsykgaffelx]

@PickenBonz the antlers will grow back out and be perfectly fine. its normal for raindeer to loose their antlers! the wound is her ear..

People in the arctic have beed hunting whales sinse the dawn of time. and in norway they hava a STRICT amount of whales that can be killed each year.[ proventing over hunting] [ the whaling buisness is microscopical and have no input in the countrys economy) So if this is your reason not to visit.. Then you must come from a 100% perfect country

[PickenBonz]

@varatera 

[TeenForces]

she broke its horn. wtf?

[Ultimalight]

She broke it's horn -.-

[marciavaraschin]

Poor babys.

[Bobzach56]

1:31 Best shot of this girl's beauty

[glencoe6305]

This whole thing is Beautiful: The Reindeer,The River,The Landscape,The Weather, and especially the Chick- Elle ! Is she not georgous ?

[solidiquis1]

Btw 2:13, I think the chick broke that deer's horn :[

[solidiquis1]

Is it just me, or is Norway's natural terrain fucking beautiful!?

[thebert1000]

reindeer: "more than halfway? yeah im friggin tired, i think ill turn back now."

[yx92ify]

why didn't they just hire or buy a larger boat?

[TheM2K956]

I need cable -.-

[kascle]

Would it be too hard if they put them in a ferry and get them across that way? Or are they just being cheap?

[lea7rsi]

@kascle maybe its hard to clean poops ^^

[danjoelabrenica]

@kascle the reindeers must learn how to do that so that in the future they will be independent.

[VaLlLlL12345]

@kascle Maybe What a constructive idea! Like that, if the next year they are alone (without human help), they will all stay on the wrong side of the river and die!

[nookiescookies]

@CFCIRISHNOTSCOTTISH really? why?

[chervenkoviq]

Song PLS Song ??????????

[DubRighteous]

Everything is beautiful on this video.

[MrSayerp]

what a beautiful rainbow

[nmuratore]

Thumbs for the VICTORY rainbow!! Those people deserve a reward for that kind of mission.

[Komsan473]

ok put the calfs in a boat the adults follow ur set morons get good

[Jaymerry45]

i'd probably turn back if my ears started to bleed too..

[Japleable]

DOUBLE RAINBOW!!



[FsimulatorX]

@Japleable its triple

[ve2so]

We lived somethong similar they were 10000 Kariboos crossing a river at James Bay, they all died.

[nookiescookies]

bbc is da fuckin best!

[rebecaurrutia]

They don't even have flippers

[pumitaproductions]

just keep swimming just keep swimming just keep swimming swmming swimming

[Suzan4B]

this is an amazing trek! She loves the Deer,no doubt but it sure did sound like the crack of a bone and not a hoof against the boat

[MantecooTapirira]

Conserving wrong genes, the specie go fastly to extintion... damn biological conservation

[JackKangaroo1]

So is Elle-Helene what you'd call a 'Reindeer Wrangler'? I'm still not sure if she's an environmentalist trying to save the reindeer or if she herds reindeer for a living. Is this her day job or does she work in town during the week? Kind of confused here. Anyway, I'm glad they all made it across. And, oh yes, I did notice that Elle is a hottie.

[glencoe6305]

@JackKangaroo1 Elle,is a Beauty !

[FreeSlideShows4You]

2:44 DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

[BeastifiedCodFather]

Double Rainbow!

[Pighaterskater]

that was intense!!

[TheDarthsophia]

wow that rainbow was just perfect at the back

[louiseb1944]

I cannot believe the idiotic comments made earlier, where do these people who comment come from? Another planet? These deer are being helped to better grazing ground and the antlers being broken does not hurt them it's like a person breaking a nail! Get educated!

[IuliaTimi]

Most of you might not know, but in Northern countries they eat reindeer meat on a regular basis, so this is just farming. Being saved from drowning only to end up eaten by humans

[pooclak]

I HAD NO IDEA SHIT LIKE THIS EXSISTED OR HAPPENED!! WOW, I LOVE BBC !!!! SO MANY NEW DISCOVERIES!!

[Kereyuli]

@pooclak new discovery to you is someone's everyday life, adventure the planet mate and there is more than xbox 360

[TheKatLady44]

God was looking after His creatures. Thank God, there are people everywhere who truly do care and respect wildlife. Afterall,the job as 'caretakers' of His creatures was given to us. What a wonderful ending with His promise in the sky..........the rainbow!

[50kT]

so none died?

[mihayyyyyy]

she really is beautiful

[floromantique]

True life.... Nice ending with the rainbow !

[MrAlecaf]

Triple rainbow at 2:44

[TheMiekie1956]

Schitterend mooi om te zien, Elle-Helene je bent geweldig.

[elporvenir68]

How small is the world that we know and live, is amazing what great things happen outhere!

[elporvenir68]

[MeNameShivara]

2:44 - TRIPLE RAINBOW!! 

[seriouse1009]

Oh my god shes beautiful..

[lavianapolitana]

Funny how some people care so much about the broken antler and do not LOOK at the GREATER PICTURE?

[plutoice21]

@lavianapolitana dude lighten up, it was a joke sheesh

[grzegorzwas]

could anybody help me and write where is this happening and when (exacly) or who are this people in the movie

thx a lot

[SkinoReturns]

@grzegorzwas Its Sami people... thery are crazy inbreds in the north of scandinavia

[darkblades66]

Build them a bridge...?

[cavemancyproductions]

Suomi or what?

[nafslee]

@cavemancyproductions Suomi is the Finnish language. She's form northern Norway, dont you mean Sami, the indigenous northerners?

[cavemancyproductions]

@nafslee I’ve been in Finland and I thought this sounds so much like Finish(Suomi), thanks for the correction!

[SkinoReturns]

@cavemancyproductions its Saami.. Not Finnish.. Wiki it

[SkinoReturns]

@cavemancyproductions Saaami

[swashbucklefunk]

How about giving them some fins

[r7diego]

tough lady, she take the deer from the antler and move it around

[sushicartman01]

Her job must be so amazing and fufilling! If only I could get that for a summer job instead of being a cashier or something else lame.

[krzyboyz911]

Anybody else feel like they're speaking Lord of the Rings language?

[vidalde]

Magnifique vidéo,avec cetts belles images !!!

[Bellaenikke]

What is the nature is beautiful.

[mckseal]

the sounds they make sound like many people nomming.

[krmmr]

Exciting and heart warming. The antler will be o.k., but another life has been saved. That's a wonderful feeling. Thank you for sharing this.

[landryqc]

im glad that some people are kind enough to help other living being,i dont see such duty everyday

[denysem1]

awnnnn poor raindeers!

[mildogslad]

Women gotta herd...Reindeer gotta swim...I've got watch it from the comfort of my home =) god i'm lazy =(

[Straatjoggie]

Did you see the look in their eyes?? The animals were scared shitless.

[brampater]

@vihanekirp Double rainbow means nothing it's just 2 places with rain and the sun shines on it. ;-)

[Micky88CosaNostra]

That's Some Ice Cold Shit!

[SteelChains]

Am i the only one hearing a Heavy among them?? 0:39

[ioanalazar1]

Amazing! Thanks!

[TheElle817]

[henryaa88]

[MrAvevi]

ALAR THE GIRL  IS SO SEXY

[MrAvevi]

ALAR THE GIRL IS SO SEXY

[AnasAlex10]

Those are the Sámi people.

[macgiver351]

John hurts voice is amazing...

[1976CATWOMAN]

There's allways a double rainbow, ALLWAYS just look :)

[buffaleelee]

WOTT A BEAUTY !

[ashthegreat]

That is if this was due to her. Otherwise, it seems good.

[ashthegreat]

Why are so many of those reindeer missing half their antlers which appear to be broken off? Considering they're still infants and being highly cared for by their parents in such a large group, and based on the actions I've seen in this video, I am lead to suspect that she may have been breaking them off (accidentally) or excessive abuse (leading to animal abuse). They're infants and can be easily scared off through many other ways. They shouldnt be left like that with her breaking their antlers.

[rololoko3335]

She is so cute!

[Basse9419]

b*tch says it's a huge weight of her shoulders, well apperently she must have missed all the reindeers and especially the one she broke the antler off and made it swim again

[ozalan]

so, where is santa ?

[meekamercieca]

wow, this is beautiful and amazing.

[jzilla666999]

Why doesn't she let natural selection take over.

[thorain3]

I'd totally do her. Just saying.

[1962a102251]

I wonder to all people who watch ,and give any coment . can you do this.

[marnikj]

This is awesome, I was so tense.

[VoidKeeper]

So Santa actually travels by water!!!!!

[ccoollkkiidd]

Why don't they just fly across?

[0087aziz]

wooooooooooooow

so nicely one

[Altarcraft]

Maybe the Norwegian government should invest in building a bridge.

[XUberPwnerXXX]

@Altarcraft The point is to keep the tradition alive not to use modern techniques to achieve the same goal. And if they were going to invest in a bridge why not just buy grass for them to graze on?

[lettheflamewarbegin]

now i know what animal i want to ride

[jm3la]

survival of the fittest

[Ben9NOR]

yeey, this is from norway, and I am norwegian :D

[seacow910910]

thats not a double its a tripple!!! look closer at the brighter one!

[mrspazshot]

Double rainbow we have done something we should have done all along

[calfliny]

Guys its the fall here, deer start to loose their antlers then. The antler isn't even broken, its just the velvety stuff on the outside. They grow new antlers anyways.

I think its better to mess up an antler and save the thing's life.

Watched again, it's antler was busted BEFORE she touched it. Relax people.

[jsantis91]

she is so cute....and stop making a big deal about the antler...she did it to help them....

[phanable1]

should have flown over it man lol

[NewbSinnerTV]

Stupid Cunt Bitch, what if i Broke your Antler off?>!>?!

[rachusis]

she didnt break the antler....you guys are silly, getting hypnotised but dont realise she was helping them

[okodorifuto]

I cant belive no one is talking about how beautiful she is.

[moxieownage]

@okodorifuto I was to busy looking at the reindeer :P Thanks for pointing it out though ;)

[GSNTube5]

Three of these Deer dislike this video

[JTK1921]

what the fuck breaking the antler?

[douwethaman]

and then, a boat comes plowing through...

[triathlete77]

Is this a natural migration or a human forced one??

[logotgr]

@triathlete77 Good question, I was wondering the same.

[3rdmax01]

she is gorgseous! she did NOT break the antler.. if you look at the deer (1.50) when she turns around you will notice that her left antler is already broken. then when she swims back with the herd it is broken in the same spot, same antler. the noise must have been the deer kcking the boat to swim away i imagine..

[logotgr]

@3rdmax01 Actually the shot of that particular deer after the struggle with the bit of antler dangling could be camera magic and be from before she grabbed its antler just placed after the tussle to make it look like the antler's still there. But when you actually see her grabbing its antler and when the deer immediately swims away, you don't see any part flailing around. Now I'm not saying she did break off its antler, but the shot of the deer swimming off doesn't match the clip right after it.

[AustinRentz]

TRIPLE RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PunksterD]

@AustinRentz ALL THE WAY!

[MYChemicalLyrics]

does anyone else notice that is a DOUBLE RAINBOW at 2:45 FTW!?

[lolpatiofurniturelol]

why did she break the antler?

[crookedfinger13]

She broke the deer's antler at 2:15.

[Eureka3d]

what an insane job to be able to be a camera man for this show

[healerofearth]

:D lol if a random shark jumps and eat 10-5 of them

[StarUnitedKlan]

2:47 Double rainbow all tha way.. look at this , is so intense !!!

[Blu3p00h]

Thats not Double RainBow Thats Triple RainBow DUDE!

[MrPhlanders]

Double Rainbow?



[GrowTheTruth]

@TeamSamson888 Breaking its antler (which will grow back) is a small price to pay to avoid it drowning or ruining the whole migration process.

[katgamet1]

@TeamSamson888 Well, it's either break that deers antlers or the lost of thousands of deers!! >,< besides, 'twas already broken before she even got ahold of it. dw it'll grow back ^^

[euphoria3211]

@TeamSamson888

it was already broken, look again

[mariakrizan]

@TeamSamson888

but saved its life and that of the rest 2999..

[Ca5p3r53]

@TeamSamson888 it was already broken look again

[SenitelKJ]

@TeamSamson888 Hardcore shit to stop them all dieing.

[JaZuN94]

[ramas91]

Wonderful!

[88anasanas]

DOUBLE RAINBOW!

[fitzy545]

[TheBongoFrenzy]

The language she is speaking is not Norwegian, it's Sami, the language of an idigenous group called Sami.

[vihanekirp]

OMG ! DOUBLE RAINBOW ! WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?????

[TheEmptyas]

Rainbow is just the light breaking ... happens when sun shine on the rain

[Jcktheripper]

@vihanekirp Twice the gold Yo!

[g4yktzgjx6]

DOUBLE RAINBOW!

[yaz907]

I will try with all of my willpower not to comment on that incredible double rainbow all the way across the sky.

[harrison1115]

DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY!

[LieoJinZhou]

2:48 is that a double rainbow =O

[Brygelsmack]

The calf made an account and disliked this video...

[vietlaws]

DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY!!

[nasos1979]

It's such a remarkable planet that we're constantly destroying... :-( Humans only deteriorate nature from their very "arrival" here as a species, when the only thing we should have done was observe and maybe we could learn something!!! It's such a shame, such a waste!

[tikkeltje]

@nasos1979 Destroying this planet? we can try as hard as we can, wipe out all species etc, but earth will restore itself once we are gone

[nasos1979]

@tikkeltje It's happened before... Earth will indeed restore the balance, but it will only happen by destroying all life on it and start it over. And THIS is really pity! This is what I mean.

[sleepingeye]

@nasos1979

Human cannot destroy all life on earth, only natural disasters like meteor strikes can. If you think humanity can destroy itself, this is Megalomania.

[xxVIKxx100]

@sleepingeye Who pays for this? Just wow, you must be really dumb. It is clear she is doing this as an annual thing on her own time you dumbass. Also Norway is pretty much socialist, not somehwere you would want to live, But then again it has been ranked in the top 5 for many things considered important for a country. Education, Healthcare, corruption, crime.....AMERIKA NUMBA ONE Fucking loser

[sleepingeye]

@xxVIKxx100

Alright then, I don't like Norway and I am an American, you got some MAD mind reading skills. Stop making things up.

[SailorVenusFan123]

:O She snapped one of the deer's antler!

[sleepingeye]

The narrator is talking bullshit. Why would all the group go back if only one deer goes back? That does not make sense. Don't we have bigger problems then saving little reindeers. Who pays for this? Time to let nature BE.

[MillsXia]

is it me or is there a lot less reindeer by the time theyre on the other side

[Tidoublemy]

Triple Rainbow all the way!!!

[pliskin100]

Go around? Even if it's a few days extra trip it has to be better that swimming across a channel in freezing temperatures.
