Living With Polar Bears in the Arctic - BBC Planet Earth Diaries

[MOESEWICHt1]

me: oh hello mr fluffy black nose polar bear fluff fluff

he: graaawrrrrrrrrrr

me: *shitting bricks* DAFAQ im out!

[Matty6660]

Even though the polar beer is an endangered species, I dont think they would have gone to jail for shooting it in self defense.

[tj11112222]

These men love nature, they would never ever kill a polar bear

[Meerkatmatt2]

@tj11112222 yea, how about then if it broke into your cabin, by smashing down the door, grab both of them, drag them out side, crunch them and eat them, I would get the gun ready in that situation even though I like animals.

[gloryboundkev]

Feed Meeee!!!

[hero10all]

poor dug

[sosoasian]

hai guys! let me in, k?

[BoWtr1216]

oh what a beautiful animal....oh shit dude....get the gun ready;)

[minion158]

get the gun ready??

[Nischba]

Actually they had a real rifle. They did shoot and kill the bear because it broke the door and were trying to eat them. They didn't go to jail because it was self-defense. I guess they didn't want show that part in the behind the scene footage, not very good publicity.

[randommagnum]

I'd be pooing my pants about then.

[george03271989]

get the gun redy =)))) fuck

[aaa82yt]

and the window is similar to ice... all you have to do is to wear a seal costumes ))

[jimmyshitbags]

@AtheisMisReality a death nonetheless.

[333pinkelephant333]

aww the bear just wanted his coca cola.... :D

[MrCoolguy1661]

retard



[Eureka3d]

just to answer everyones questions. The guy saying "get the gun ready" is referring to a flare gun (it shoots a little thing that shines and then bangs). I have seen the full behind the scenes episode and that is the context. The guys did not have a gun to shoot the bear with.

[HawxTeamDelta]

awww 1:04

[iluvdorx11]

By 'gun' they BETTER have meant tranquilizer gun other wise I'd be the one killing them

Polar bears are not just killing machines you have to attack them or their cubs (or be injured and bloody all over) before they actually go at you

[elbeefio]

@iluvdorx11 i have this on dvd , the mean flare gun. the bear runns off.

[iluvdorx11]

@elbeefio

Haha good, re-reading that I sound like such a tool for getting THAT defensive when they were OBVIOUSLY not going to shoot it.

[ahimel]

The bear probably walked up to the cabin because moments before it heard a loud groaning noise (thinking it was dying prey) coming from the middle of nowhere occupied by a couple of lonely dudes that had been out there for weeks in a candle lit cabin.

[bayybayz]

@ahimel ahhahahahahhahaha !!!!

[BirdsEyePolarBear]

1:30 That’s my Uncle Joe!

[porn1978]

They're invading the polar bears turf and is ready to kill it. Humans truly are pieces of shit.

[AnimalMan03]

@porn1978 The gun isn't to kill the bear, at least not in most cases, it probably has blanks so you fire it and scare the bear away and don't hurt it at all. Though I wasn't there and I doubt you were either so neither of us really know what that gun had in it.

[spritsengiggle]

You give them a bottle of Coca Cola, that's the correct bear defence for Polar bears I've been told.

[bannerbabe85]

Doug Allan what a class man

[average220]

Should of let the polar bear wash your windows and given him a dollar, they usually leave after that

[mwells219]

they waited four weeks for this shot? these guys are hardcore.

[spand3244]

Its trying to say "Can you throw my slippers, that's cold as hell out here."

[BillyTheAlienVideo]

So cute. He's like "Don't MAKE me come in there. Yea you filmin my cubs?! YEA THAssRIGHT! GET UR GUNS!"

[RiSiCo1]

people, they were talking 'bout a flash gun

1:36 (get the gun! it's a flash..)

When they said: Get the gun ready. They meand Flash gun.

These man are proffesionals;) they wont ever hurt an animal

[Lobos222]

Only idiots would travel to a place with polar bears and not bring a real rifle. When he said "get the gun ready" he meant a real gun. To just scare if off, or, if needed, kill the bear.

[RiSiCo1]

they say GUN not rifle, you dont go into the wildlife with a gun to protect yourself. It's a Flash gun. you could clearly hear him say it.

[Lobos222]

Why dont you google define:gun. Gun is the layman term used for fire arms. It wouldnt be incorrect to say "get the gun" even if it was a rifle...

And trust me, they wouldnt be out there without a fire arm. Usually a high caliber -rifle-. Dont be a freaking idiot. Polar bears are dangerous.

Its standard procedure in Longerbyen on Svalbard island (Norway) to have one when going on trips like these.

[rachelfied]

Man, living out there for four weeks? That takes guts.

[bradjosephs]

why are they asking for a gun? is a wounded bear a good thing? how about pepper spray or a flare?

come on guys. get with the program.

[mwells219]

because if that bear thinks there is food it will attack anything that gets in its way.

[LarssonSacramone]

That's SOOOOO funny when he tickes with his nose on the window!! :D

Don't kill him, guy!!

[Nationalist65]

Great video! 1: 24 was crazy!

[mind1987]

You can hear the dude saying get the gun ready lol scared shitless,they will only attack if they have an entrance since the doors are shut they wont even bother to destroy it,polar bears are lazy

[ElEctroniczCoRner]

@mind1987 lets put you out there k man youd be shitting youself

[tav2252]

Ohhh fuck! I would be shitting bricks at 1:23. Probably would have fainted a little. You know these motherfuckers really meant business about their jobs if they still had camera in hand filming the shit. The last thing on my mind would be to keep filming this shit soooo up close. Not with only a 2x4 separating me.

Secondly, isn't the polar bear an endangered species or something?....Would they have gone to jail if they shot that bear?

[helgabjork]

Not if it's in self defense.. it's only a crime if they're hunting them without provocation

[jacobcake]

@tav2252 Personally I would prefer to go to jail rather be mauled to death by a polar bear...

[jimmyshitbags]

@tav2252 break the law or die? no contest.

[addie76h]

@tav2252 you are allowed to shoot a polar bear in arctic communities, if you are in danger and there is no way you can just leave unnoticed.

[FienStudios]

@tav2252 For defense its not illegal, to shoot that Polar Bear for hunting and gaming is illegal.

[Herimia]

@tav2252 Maybe they did shoot the bear?

[superagnitio]

@tav2252 probably tranquilizer. Also, probably legal if you are in inminent danger.

[Mascherina1964]

@tav2252 It depends on the country. In Canada, it's legal. In Russia, it isn't -- they are a protected species.

[TheLotteryWinners]

Get the gun ready!?

I'll beat him down if he kills one.

[kloweee418]

maybe he meant a tranquilizer gun just incase the bear got to them?

[Meerkatmatt2]

@kloweee418 first you have to get the gun, put in the right dart with the right dose, pack multiple darts, find the bear, aim shoot in the right spot, wait for it to be knocked out(in that time it could kill you,) drag it to where it needed to be released, inject a different drug to wake it up, then run for the hills and back to camp, not easy.

[yvana623]

Polar bears are not all cute and cuddly. Their the world's largest mammalian carnivour. That polar bear could have killed both cameramen if he was in a pissy mood. You should be scared in that situation. Someone who would want to run outside and hug that bear would be a complete idiot.

[jgkdhj]

Yeah and hungry and with the sea ice melting faster than before, they will try to eat about the first thing they see.

[Idonthinkso7331]

Actually it would have killed them both.

Polar bears are one of the few animals in the world that actually kills just to sharpen its skills.

[Rajnoma]

What a splendidly marvelous creature is the wondrous majesticPOLAR BEAR! LONG LIVE POLAR BEARS! I would not have been at all frightened of this gorgeous bear;I would welcome his gaze! He's just curious, that's all!

[fabiomr2]

what that nosy polar bear wants ?

[noiram888]

that must be an awesome experience......and a little frightening too...!!!!!!!!!!! i live the polar bears......

[xmattydx]

RUNAWAY BEAR!

[FallsBoyzz]

the bear looks so sweet and cuddly....i wanna get one so that i can hug a white bear while i sleep...

[Cass0emoheart]

It'll be the last thing you do.

[harrvesterofsorrow]

until it eats you

[jimmyass]

and to think that they will ALL bel dead soon and caged in zoos as WE have "FUCKED UP THE PLANNET!"... sad aint it.

[neovannn]

"get the gun ready !! get the gun ready !!"

LOL

Seems like some people were pretty stressed, watching the polar bear through the window.

[phoenixlikerisen]

Wow.

But they look sweet.

Beautyful pictures of nature!
