► Heavyweights With Unexpected Skills - Full Documentary
Ойын-сауық
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.

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.

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.

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"
beautiful and insightful documentary!! thank you
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 loved this documetary.
I was so confused about the incomplete information about the Greenland shark, had to check when this documentary was made. Makes sense now!
Great great documentary. Thank you very much for yor work
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….

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.

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.

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... 🤨
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?

Español xfavor gracias y saludos
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.
The walrus was crapping at the end. Imagine how bad a pack of them smell.
39:24 now we know where are all our muscles and who ate?
You gotta have thick skin Out there
i cant believe 60 walruses jumped to their death in a "mass suicide"
_That Polar Bear's got Doo-Doo Butt and a serious case of Dingle-Berries._
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!
