The Unsung Heroes of the Arctic - Ep. 3 | Wildlife: The Big Freeze
Ойын-сауық
Polar bears dominate the Arctic animal headlines; it’s hard for anything to escape their shadow. In this episode we meet an unexpected array of smaller species that each have their own peculiar but no less entertaining strategies for surviving in this brutal environment. The tiny arctic fox might look cute, but it’s actually a killing machine. The arctic hare may be fluffy and have comical ears, but it’s both a master of camouflage and one of the fastest animals here. The snowy owl has sacrificed speed for a mightier secret weapon: silence. We find a lemming (a tiny brown rodent) running around in a blizzard, a big mistake when silent assassins are flying overhead. Although these unsung heroes are some of the few who’ve perfectly adapted to this place, the environment is changing fast. Warming temperatures are allowing enemies to move north, encroaching on these Arctic specialists.

Though polar bears and seals are the most iconic mascots of the Arctic, there are many animals in this brutal environment worthy of attention. Which Arctic animal is your favorite?

I worked in the arctic for years. The red fox are absolutely devastating the arctic fox population. When I started up there I seen hundreds of them. When I left two years ago I only seen a few a year but the reds were everywhere. It's not just the arctic fox that is having trouble. The geese are not able to defend their eggs from the much larger red fox. I have seen arctic fox fight for 15 minutes to get a goose egg and not be able to get it because momma goose can defend. Nature has evolved the two animals to be that way. Sometimes the fox wins, sometimes the goose. Not so with the red fox though. It's not the warmer climate that brings the reds to the arctic either, it's the roads. Nature has kept them out for how many years? Then they show up a few years after the road is put in and completely take over the place.

I'm sorry for the arctic foxes :( If what you write is true, roads seem to be their route towards extinction. Hope their population won't disappear completely though. On the other hand I want to say not all red foxes are like that, I'm a good red fox, not invading anyone's territory :D
I never knew artic chickens ever existed. 🤣 Cool.

they aren't gonna be out competed, the red fox is prime food for wolves and an easy kill, its at a disadvantage due to its larger size and lack of camouflage

The real heroes are the crew.. filming this unimaginably harsh climate...so that we can all enjoy this from the comfort our homes.. REAL HEROES.. SALUTE..

8:39 that stunning beauty tho.

Thank you guys so much for such a amazing experience. Hats off to all the crew behind the scenes.
The animals and environment of the arctic are so beautiful, it's almost magical
I didn't like watching animals or something about nature before but I changed my mind after watching your videos. I know that it's too difficult to record the video like this and you worked so hard. Thank you so much for making the videos. Also, this video is so wonderful. It blew my mind.
“I’m a killing machine!” Makes a cute sound. Me: “welp. Imma die trying to hug you!”
Bertie, nose nearly frozen, whooping in delight, " This place is out of the world! " His joy is infectious!
Bertie’s the same age as I am and he’s out there living his dream. Educating people about our climate and the world around us. Meanwhile I’m laying down eating cheetos while watching this video
Wow.. Incredible.. Cute bunny, little fox, owl, birds.. Finally Aurora.. Everything is beautiful.. 😍😍😍
Arctic foxes are so cute 🥺. I didn’t realize they were that small.

I also love how Bertie said how "this place is out of this world" at the northern lights. The most spectactular views we experience in this life are from our beautiful planet.
