[mAdSolutionz]

@abbyNalex Are you fucking stupid?

[CytotoxicTrev]

[rockboy310]

That isnt tar , thats Treacle . the mammoth died of diabetes.

[gizmoslice]

that elephant reminds me of my uncle Louie on sunday mornings, because i had a dream i was a baby turtle and i died in a terrible snow boarding accident:( aiiiiiiiiii im weird haw?:(

[7DARKHELLS]

STUPID BEAR!

Ruined what would of been the best Sabre tooth vs Wolf fight ever!

[hititdj]

i think that the smilodon is 1 of the few that could've beaten a short faced bear also the american lion could've beaten it

[gizmoslice]

@hititdj the short backed baby antelope had massive biceps so what are you even talking about man?, im one of the dudes that watches these videos?

[aivillaran]

please someone can write the text of the video Because I'm Spanish

[MioRaem]

I would love to own a baby wolf and tame him <3

[PotRoast24]

dude..if u actually put urself in the scene...its gets really tense and disstressing..

[Imaokaamiuchiha]

Please say the wolf's ok... Please...please... And yes peoples, the wolf IS from the ice age, almost. Wolves are amazing creatures. But, back in the ice age, they would have been really big, much bigger than they are now. Their teeth and claws would have been more deadly. And right now, my stomach just sounded like that sabre tooth, so I'm going to get something to eat. O___O

[RIGUY75]

3:15 FALCON PUNCH!

[firemario10]

wtf happened to the bear?O-O

[takkubell]

@firemario10

the bear sunk 2nd then the tiger and then the wolf and the vultures ate em all and flew away .. THE END ...LOL

[firemario10]

@takkubell terrifing o.o

[GoodAzzMintFlava]

2:54 STAND YOUR GROUNG WOLF! I love those animals! :]

[spinosaurus1]

Wait.... wolves.. were from the ice age? o.e same as camels? o_o

[skipskops]

ROFL! The animations are just......terrible!!

That bear was all like FALCON PUNCH!

[arga400]

@skipskops thats what makes it so awesome whats better than a bear doing a FALCON PUNCH!

[180DegreeMason]

That scenario can make sense, but the way the bear came in and the cat just stood there to get smacked made no sense and is totally unrealistic. Animals are highly aware and they never fight in just one clean blow all ballsy like that - they show a lot of fear and then an extreme rush that usually ends up in both animals thrashing around, the sabertooth would thrash around violently and throw up his claws even after being injured - that fight was more like a human punching another human.

[whopper1209]

tar sucks.

[locksndoors]

The wolves look real, the rest of the animals are poorly animated.

[shazpie]

@locksndoors  i think the wolves are real lol

[clubpenguindino]

Just for people who like dogs and wolves, soem of the fewest animal bones from La Brea are wolves :)

[festum666]

who that bear ripped that cat to pieces

[morphinemoniza]

the wolves are so cute

[The2010Predator1]

SHIT

arctodus just smashed the face of smilodon fatalis!!!!

[Kyralee97]

there were wolfs in back then.... like in the iceage too....?

[LisaMarie216]

There were yes. Though they were much larger then wolves of Today. Their fossils have been found in the La Brea Tar Pits.

[Hermione4]

@Kyralee97 Plural for a wolf is WOLVES, not wolfs.

[afbofficial]

shocking animation thb..

[Halo2loverboy]

@afbofficial You may think that until they rip your flesh off while your still alive O_o

[froglobster]

i never thought tar age instead of ice age. BUT.....if they went due to tar age, we wouldnt been able to dig up the bones for museums

[koukoucitydunkers2]

In a side to side motion. Not in a up and down motion.

[koukoucitydunkers2]

try some more.You will find something eventually.

[koukoucitydunkers2]

I'm sorry man. I have collected this info over the course of many years and I cannot recall where I read it. If you punch itin google search something will probably come up. Check Interspecies Conflict as well.

[koukoucitydunkers2]

Paleontologists have found skulls of dire wolves with holes in them made from th sabre teeth of smilodon. They have also found smilodon skulls and shoulder blades with similar holes made from the great cat's canines. The teeth were more than functional and could be used if needed to penetrate even bone.

[koukoucitydunkers2]

a tiger is no sabretooth. and it would bea a match for it by the way

[koukoucitydunkers2]

Well,according to everyone else it did not weight more than a ton.

[koukoucitydunkers2]

the american lion was max 380 kg. populator was twice the weight of a male african lion. some male lions weigh more than 250 kg. the short faced bear was not that heavy. max 1000 kg. even so, a fatalis would have fared better than that!!

[koukoucitydunkers2]

It was the heaviest cat. look it up. Unmatch weaponry, most scientists think it was stronger than a grizzly bear, it had evolved to take down the largest of prey. it also could charge explisively gennerating a force between 20160 to over 28000 kg of force on impact, enough to tople most animals. The bear wasn't the largest carnivore to ever walk the earth. that title belongs to megistotherium or andrewsarchus. Though large the short faced bear was not heavily built.

[koukoucitydunkers2]

that's what YOU think.

[hulkmeister23]

why haven't they found animals from pre-pleistocene era, like a dinosaur or a brontothere?

[mamutcg]

does anyone have the entire show or all just these short clips?

[MrPIROCAS]

rigth sizes? the last one was a Arctodus bear, is huge

[hulkmeister23]

U know, tar pits would be a great place to hide a body.

[HengistTheGreat]

Thanks for the tip. They'd be no need for the usual roll of carpet weighed down with iron bars.

[hulkmeister23]

NO WAY, seriously?

Stupid question, but was it a Cro-magnon woman or, dare I say it, modern day woman?

[hulkmeister23]

I'm surprised that humans seemed to have avoided the pits.

[Kidemona]

wait, did they use real oil to film this, poor wolves they had to step in it. I hope they didn't lick their paws afterwards, and the humans cleaned them, that'll really mess up your stomach!

[puncheex]

The scene is a pastiche of wildlife shots, studio shots, CGA an other special effects. The wolves feet were animal actors photographed in a shallow pool of some sticky fluid, perhaps molasses. The bubble shots were the real thing, staged in a studio or somewhere where oil seepage still does occur. The elephant long shots show no visible oil.

This is the way media production companies do things. They are going more and more to CGA, such as BBC's Walking With... series.

[tgc456100]

the black stuff is called tar and its dangerouse to some animals

[tornandfrail]

pmsl they all got owned LMAO! XD HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[fandejp05]

4 wolves + 1 saber tooth cat + 1 cave bear = a pretty shit !

[andreajacquet]

I think is Oil the one that is used to make highways etc.

[ArturoStojanoff]

what's that black liquid?

[puncheex]

The the La Brea and similar tar pits, it is petroleum tar, the remains after all the lighter fractions of raw petroleum have evaporated away. It is similar to that used to coat the gravel in asphalt road material, just a bit more gooey.

In the photography, it is something else that works like tar - perhaps a molasses mixture. Blackstrap looks just like that.

[Cosc11]

wolves/dogs are among the most agile creatures due to their limb structure and the way they move their legs. Lions and tigers move to both legs forward at once, and bring the back two legs in front of the front two, and repeat this movement, dogs and wolves move their legs at different times very quickly, so they can get through tar and sinking sand easier than other animals. animals whose legs work similarly would be things such as horses, but their bodies are occupied hightwise,dogs are width

[magedsura]

THIS IS A VERY GOOOOOD ICE AGE TRAP

[Ordazed]

Looks like africa with a dead african elephant, some misplaced wolves and a fake lion.

Cool :)

[omerzalman]

at 0:55 - 0:56 the narrator says LA Brea which gives reference to the LA BREA tar pits in Los Angeles where tar pits provided death traps just like the one simulated in this video. These are North American animals in a North American envoironment.

[puncheex]

Perhaps a paper mache elephant (this might be modeled after a mammoth; not all the species were wooley), or it might be rocks that were later touche up by CGA, some wolf animal actors, and CGA performed upon another cougar actor. The bear is probably pure CGA, with closeups of a realistic bear paw.

[zipper179]

@Ordazed They were there.. The fossil evidence don't lie, my friend..

[Dinoman217]

@Ordazed It's north america dumb ass!

[eclipsegeni]

this is really awsome i love very much videos like that :-)

[Lilgalbabie101]

NO!!!! i love wolves :(

[puncheex]

I'm absolutely sure that no wolves were harmed in the making of this production. However, the excavation of the pits certainly have offered up bones from all the categories shown, and many more.

[TigerOscar78]

its Diego!!!

[TheDannelito]

good good i like it

[nellypoohable]

scientists make up so much fuck it is not funny

[xGothimox]

so does religion

[vintagevic1]

i agree. its a crap shoot some of its right much isnt.

[AlexandKelsie]

that was tiiiiight

[delin5]

LOL half of these animals look FAKE

[KosmoAntoninus]

They are extinct!

[delin5]

i know that

[vitarossj]

ofcourse....they died dumbass this is from the ice age the tar pits killed many many animals, they are extinct but the most we can do is make animations of what we are sure these animals look like to make a show of what happened.

[TheAzzuriBlue]

lol thats why i kinda hate these documentaries, but also like them

[kulas10101]

thats not a mammoth, it's an elephant

[pml08usaf]

You're special, aren't you?

[gforrestersmith]

Actullay its a Columbian Mammoth a Hairless Mammoth

[kirkowoop]

I have a friend who is strict catholic, and doesn't believe in evolution. I dont know how those people explain all the evidence in the world. God made every thing in 7 days.YEH RIGHT???????? great video i love this stuff...

[LOPONUMER]

Og, God made the Earth, he made EVERYTHING. It just didn't take him seven FUCKING days.

[JamieLessard565]

WHOA DAIR you got no proof and are just ignorant to be so sure that god created earth i mean come on man....

[puncheex]

That's interesting. According to the pronouncements of several of the popes (incluing Ben), evolution is very much accepted by Catholic dogma, as well as CofE and other liberal religions. It's mainly fundamentalist evangelicals that require belief in young earth biblical literalism.

[Nyrufa]

tar pits = death

Tar pits with a mammoth = prehistoric death brawls!

[Saence]

Smilidons only eat fresh meat. Their hyper canivores.

[puncheex]

When you are really hungry, you'll eat lots of things. Life for carnivores in the wild is always feast one day, famine the next, and they'll take what is offered up by nature, you betcha, just like we did.

[Sollenus]

they're raping the poor mammoth

[koukoucitydunkers2]

they make the sabre tooth look like a pushover.

[johncenaraptor]

i dont like the sabertooth because of the animation, does this video come from prehistoric america. i hate it when i click on the audio preview guy hes stupid

[dinofelis1]

awesome! can u give me the title of this film?

[shogun341]

thats funny how the bear came in all tough then he just fell over and died what a way togo /=P

[z3z4x4]

were can i go this video

[plainoldbum]

ooof that's dangerous...

[DarthVenomAizen]

wow, now that sucks!!!! getting one limb back, at the expence of the other limbs getting more stuck.
