- Heavy weights with unexpected skills -
The grazing grounds of the walrus
This heavy weight is known for its characteristic, massive teeth that stick out
of the upper jaw. They are horrible weapons. Another distinct feature is their
weight: males can weigh up to 1500 kilos. A large part of this body mass is a
thick layer of fat underneath leathery skin - and it is needed because these
large seals live in the polar sea on the edge of the pack ice.
Without their teeth the animals could not survive - they are used as tools for
many things. For one thing the teeth are used as ice picks to pull their giant
bodies back onto the ice, then they also use their teeth to rummage through
the mud on the ocean floor to search for snails, crabs and clams. Except for
us humans they should not have many predators. But there is one other and it
is primarily going for their young - the polar bear.
It is very difficult to observe walruses: the arctic climate is the first deterrent.
The Australian walrus specialist Jason Roberts has been living in Spitzbergen
for many years and has been studying walruses and their family hierarchy up
close. He takes us on an expedition to the 80th latitude where we will observe
walruses as they feed underwater as it has never been filmed before. We will
follow those heavy weights under the ice and will be confronted with one of
the rarest sharks - the Greenland shark.
Why is it that the British accent is just such a pleasure to hear when you are watching these documentaries?
Ernesto Palacios that s because you v spend too much time in the ghetto.
Ernesto Palacios Because we speak with good diction !
Ernesto Palacios sound good

You're right. It's so polite
Good to see my people doing well.
One day, the Earth will be ours once more.
more like Polar Bear
KOO KOO KATCHOOO
YES MY FRIEND, LET US TAKE OVER THIS PLANET
Indeed
No ur almost a walrus so those real walrus will beat ur but
Its like watching My 600 lb Life in the ocean.
It can't be true,😅
😂
My 3000lb life
Dr. Tusk: You're eating 30,000 lbs of fish per day... you haven't showed me you are committed to the diet, so I will not be approving you for walrus obesity surgery
As the average weight of humans increase, it is only natural we move to the sea to live amongst the walruses and seals.
that's funny logic but more seriously it takes millions of years for a specie to evolve to supergiants, we will only need a tiny fraction of that to destroy what's left of the environment. Also if you are american then the big people you see around you are caused by regular ingestion of growth hormone from eating cattle meat when they went through puberty. They think they're big, but in fact they're victims. It says a lot that americans haven't even yet realized this due to an extremely corrupt and collusion food industry and the government FDA. Also did you know about the massive fraud of Monsanto ? their round up pesticide active product was misrepresented as glyphosate when in fact an official French research team lead by professor Ceralini has prooved doing multi-million research that the real active ingredient in round up are ARSENIC and petroleum toxic derivatives. Not only is ARSENIC absolutely illegal in pesticide but their misrepresentation of the active ingredient is fraud and criminal. The falsely called inactive ingredients in fact cause 1000X of the biocide effect and are extremely toxic as proven by the study. Glyphosate is only a decoy. This enabled them to do all their toxicity testing on glyphosate only which is 1000X weaker while they hid the true poisons as 'inactive excipient'. This is pure fraud worse than the worst drug traffiker or criminals. They should all be arrested and put in jail for the rest of their lives. The government agents get corruption money to shush off. Americans are basically laboratory animals. You eat arsenic everyday if you don't eat organic.
walruses are seals
@@goognamgoognw6637 woooooooosh
@@briankuthe4700 walruses are walruses. seal are seals.
Mauro Molinero And both are pinnipeds!
I didn't know I needed a walrus documentary this much. Honestly one of the best wastes of time I've ever had.
PointlessRhetoric I know right?! I didn’t know that I love walruses LOL
When I grow up I'm gonna rescue then rehabilitate and then release walruses that are sick or hurt, cause a walrus is my favourite animal. I have 26 walrus stuffies a walrus blanket, walrus curtains, a walrus box, four walrus stickers. I LOVE WALRUSES😃
hope you do!!!
wow... that is a lot of walrus stuff. walruses are awesome!
Jeremy Smith, let the kid be.
@@jeremysmith8990 stfu idiot. He's not going to go up to wild walruses. Do you not know how conservation works? We need MORE people like OP, maybe then the world would be a better place.
Jeremy Smith. yes agreed a dumb libtard rekt epic style. Destroyed with facts and logic
Unlike other commentators, I salute brave underwater photographers like Nick Caloyanis for sharing with us pictures of the amazing polar sea life--at great potential cost to human life and limb. Thank you, Nick. It makes me proud to share Greek genes with you.
Get it on with him Greek style why don't you. Like ethnicity has anything to do with it. When the world is rid of idiots who think like you, we'll have even more discoveries.

I think he knows what he's doing. Either they don't attack humans, or - less likely - these walruses know him (and the guy who's filming him while he films the walruses. Still ballsy, though. He's one walrus with a toothache away from being pulverized.
the narration in this is so cute and cheeky. want to hang out with these guys and film too much walrus footage
Shady Character Art I’m not even 10 minutes into it yet and yes he’s wonderfully witty and cheeky!
P
Thanks for sharing this wonderful doc on the Walruses, as well as the other creatures included :) that Shark was amazing!
The Walruses probably think the guy in the survival suit is sick in the head. Like the Bear-Man that ended up on the menu when things didn't go like he thought they should.
I think it would be so cool to study a animal to the point of knowing them for a job, it would sure beat working in a factory’s like me for the last 34 years. If only I was….
5:58, Im sorry, but I just can't keep it together after the line "Jason could never get away quick enough, especially not in his cumbersome survival suit"
Excellent images and informative dialogue. Loved it !
Wonderful film! Thank you Jason for bringing me to a world I would never know
otherwise!
Are you single Selina?
Great Documentary
Love how he said "experts agree that walrusses are dangerous in the water" . Like "No shit son".
After watching Netflix I need some happy walrus in my life.
yup a different story about why walrus commit suicide too
Animals are so beautiful.... amazing beautiful nature which amazes us
I love sea mammals. Waruses are my very fav. Amazing animals and very very smart.
This documentary means to solve a riddle older than the Sphinx. To answer the question which has plagued us since we first crawled from this Earth and stood erect in the sun. Is man, indeed, a walrus at heart?
Perhaps not, but we can strive and we can dream.
And what about you?
Ray Leon 😈😉
Yes.
Man is a savage animal. Better to be a walrus. :)
I was so confused about the incomplete information about the Greenland shark, had to check when this documentary was made. Makes sense now!
16:20 LOL HE TRIPPED
Lol!
Poor bastard.
😂😂😂
i loved this documetary.
I always get a good feeling when i hear a brittish accent on a documentary
Smh. I'm about to cry watching them itch like that. They are supposed to do that to a certain extent not all the time. But the water is so hot that algae is growing and destroying their skin. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
One of the better ones i have seen thank you for your hard work
Intriguing and beautiful ! Thank you.
Fantastic!!
Thank you. I truly enjoy your videos.
Yasss ”shake those masses” 😂❤️
that fleece hat Jason Roberts is wearing is lovely
I love walruses
The way they get out the water, looks like me getting out of bed!
Put a string bikini on them and you have a typical scene of a modern day Australian beach.
♨️
26:40 and 30:38 Greenland Shark :)
30:18 Aw, Sharing is caring. Poor Crabby, though :(
those names sound like places in Skyrim lol

How does the water remain in liquid form if it's -2C? Is it because of higher pressure at depths?
Salt lowers the freezing temperatures of water
after watching these big animals feed in huge food and there are so many of them, i think of god feeding them, and our lord have supply enough food to feed them,the amazing of our lord
Some food stuffs seem to include family members. lol
2019, where you at?
Not here
nzuri sana hii napenda kuwajua zaidi wanyama maji hawa from Mwanza Tanzania
2019 I like it from TZ swahili country
Thank You - Wonderful documentary - Wild Life cameramen also phenomenal - !!
Brilliant documentary. By the soundtrack I'm guessing it's from somewhere around 1993... Correct?
Wonderful rapportage of animals not so talk about. Thank you for your hard work
How do scientists get so close to polar bears without being mauled?
The cameras can zoom in from a very very long distance
They dont
thats one daaaamn big camera lens
beautiful and insightful documentary!! thank you
9:35, literally me though
LOL :)
Nice to see a documentary about walruses. Seals need more attention!
I'm not an expert but imo seals are like the raccoons of the ocean
The walruses vision is terrible, they can only see couple feet out of water, thinking they were on a beach they followed each other and the sound of the ocean off the cliff. It’s something that’s been happening for as long as walruses have been around.
Elephant seals are much more massive than walruses. Northern adult elephant seals range from 1.5 to over 2.3 metric tons and southern adult elephant seals from 2.22 to 4 metric tons.
Unsubscribe
But they aren't nearly as good looking and mesmerizing as us walruses.
They said the greenland sharks head is small. It looks no smaller than any other sharks compared to its body. And before this, I've never wondered or seen how walruses feed.
Great great documentary. Thank you very much for yor work
Walruses are aeswome.
Why do walruse's go to tupperware parties?..... to find a tight seal...hehe
Sir. My mechanic told me, BIG CHUB, that it looks like I blew a seal.
Pingu's nightmares
you are confusing walruses with leopard seals
I’m friends with pingu
Jamil- Maybe this will shed some light ua-cam.com/video/bFNGS0y64_U/v-deo.html
Why am I terrified by these animals?
Walrusues never did anything wrong why you afraid of them
Is that James bond narrating....sure sounds like Roger more.....love this doc....👍
25,000 walruses in the smaller, Atlantic colony that eat at least 3,000 clams and oyster a day. That's 75 MILLION per DAY. Seriously?
They just eat then nap and fart. That's like exactly what I want to do
Its 2018 polar bears are in healthy numbers again
16:18 jason falls down !!!! lol
Hi, very respectfully, I ask permission to use a few seconds of your video for me to include in my content, I hope you like it and don't mind, thank you.
WALRUSES!
I am, too.
no
18:23 Did he say "walrus daughters"? What a very awkward way to say a male walrus is looking to mate... Hopefully with another walrus's daughter... 🤨
I'm curious about this fungus that is eating away at walruses always. When horses get a fungus, it spreads throughout the herd-more on areas of white fur or on horses just more susceptible. So, we always treat all horses when they move from one home, to a new home or boarding facility where there is no fungus. This way.. they all stay clear of it. Decent facilities keep a horse in quarantine typically 2-3 weeks to be sure all treatment and tests are clear. SO... wouldn't it make sense to just send a plane over the walrus clan and midst them with the antifungal, maybe three times in a week. That way all of them might get treated at least once, likely twice. Then they'd be more healthy with less wounds should any NEW fungal enemy come their way? It's not like it would cost a million dollars to do it. I realize we can't intervene for all the wild animals. But if we are talking about a possible extinction event due to climate change, then it makes sense to give them a fighting chance by starting off healthy.
very nice script respectful of the viewer and polite.
Beautiful Video.
I would absolutely love if there was a sub 150 pound walrus to own...in a very cold climate of course! I want to move to the Arctic and become friends with the walrus!
i love walrus!!!!
behold natures cute ice pickers lol
@16:17 Jason almost stumbles back as the nearest walruses shift their huge mass of fat and flesh.
😂
Do orcas not eat walruses??
I'm guessing there's more tender morsels but who knows
Clau luevani, Yes, the transient Orca pods eat other marine mammals like baleen whales, walruses, dolphins, penguins, etc.
Love the music in this
Ku ku kachew. My incisor has achieved maximum performance!
Walruses remind me of my mother in law
Polar bears have been around for many many years. Ice or No Ice they have survived many different climatic periods.
I watched this because I had a feeling it would show polar bears and walruses which are the animals that I’ve been thinking about most often lately.
_That Polar Bear's got Doo-Doo Butt and a serious case of Dingle-Berries._
Bloody marvelous awesome
lets just remember that in a 20 or less years these beautiful places will be gone
so *TAKE CARE OF THE PLANET!*
galaxypuglover that’s not our fault though
You gotta have thick skin Out there
Wow
*John Lennon has entered the chat*
I thought elephant seals were the heavy weights?
Elephant seals are the biggest seals, (both northern and southern) but walruses are a good 2nd/3rd in line
Yery good
this isn't free. i paid by watching ads.
Paid by watching ads? 😂 If that isn't an entitled millennial I don't know what is!
SteldokraV.....AdBlock Plus. Problem solved. You're welcome.
it's not free for millenial. There is a minimum IQ needed to understand how not to get a single ad in youtube.
how about adblock?
your mother's milk was the last free thing you got in this world. Once you were weened, you need to pay your debt to society.
Welcome to Spitzburg Pennsylvania
Walruses never cry
Did no one see that the walrus swam away because Jason fell down...
i cant believe 60 walruses jumped to their death in a "mass suicide"
It is a wonderful gift of God that man has the opportunity to research animals. Not at all the Adam's privellege when he lived in harmony with the animals. But despite all of men's admirable efforts...the Creator of all things will always know the most about all things. (Psa.50:11)
Lol aww you naive fuck.
Go and load a walrus pair onto an arch.
nice music 28:00 who is it.
Voi biển trên cạn chúng có vẻ chậm chạp nhưng ở dưới nước trong chúng rất nhanh nhẹn và khỏe
Obviously the environment is not hostile to all life. For some reason, cold water tends to hold more oxygen than warm water. There is more life in the gravels of the northern and southern seas than can exist in the warmer waters of the equator. It is not a hostile environment.
🇮🇳 Siliguri, India🙄🤔😪
She does not care about his weight
Must be nice
The walrus was crapping at the end. Imagine how bad a pack of them smell.
Nice🤩
Englishmen love "the strict hierarchy". Especially their lords of course.
Did he really say polar bear won't attack walrus? Maybe not many but some do.
