The little polar bear has to keep up
DOKU – The Polar Bear – how do polar bears live?
Because of his caring care of his young Bear one of the oldest symbols of motherhood. His ability to stand up and walk upright and fight creates comparisons to humans.
A beautiful DOK about: The polar bear with sophisticated shots;
it is quite possible that the DOK of the icebear is only available for a limited time.
There are people who want to let go for a moment to enjoy this pleasant DOK about polar bears.
Polar bears up close
The Arctic – one of the most hostile regions on earth. In the Winter whip Storms at more than 100 km/h across the country and temperatures drop to -60°C.
In the middle of this inhospitable world lies the nursery of polar bears, ringed seals, walruses and Beluga whales.
Hidden deep within her Snow cave A polar bear waits for the end of winter. She has offspring: triplets! A rarity among large predators.
The bear hasn't left her cave for more than five months. Her Boys were born here and will soon see the light of the white world for the first time.
She looks after the little ones lovingly and patiently. The young polar bears There are only a few summer months left to learn how to survive in the Arctic.
As soon as the weather permits, the family sets off on the long journey to their hunting grounds, high up in the north. The walrus and ringed seal pups also have to fend off the harsh weather Nature claim.
Your worst enemy is the polar bear. They often have enough Glück, because only one in ten attacks by a polar bear on a seal is successful.
From the failure The polar bear also benefits another mysterious creature that lives deep hidden in the Arctic waters: the ice shark. Every dead seal that comes into the... Water glides down, attracting the scavenger over many kilometers... For the first time, unique and ghostly images of the almost unknown ice shark have been captured!

The icebear (Ursus maritimusAlso Polar bear called[) is a species of predator from the family of Bears (Ursidae). He inhabits the northern polar regions and is closely related to that Brown bears related.
He is in front of that Kamchatka bears and the Kodiak bears the largest land-dwelling predator on earth.
Life expectancy
The potential maximum age of polar bears in the wild Nature is estimated to be 25 to 30 years old, with very few individuals reaching the age of 20.In human care they can live a maximum of 45 years or Here too, a very old age is usually reached at just over 30 years, which is the maximum for most bears.

“The polar habitat of the 25 remaining polar bears is melting away from under their paws. Does the largest land predator still have a future?
Scientists Sybille Klenzendorf and Dirk Notz want to find out in the Arctic. For the documentary “Polar Bears on the Run,” authors Anja-Brenda Kindler and Tanja Dammertz accompany the researchers into a remote, changing world.
The search for opportunities for the former king of the Arctic also provides data on the effects of climate change on the People.
The Time urges: If global warming is not stopped immediately, some polar bear populations will decline by 20 percent in 30 to 60 years. This is what scientists such as climate researcher Dirk Notz and wildlife biologist Sybille Klenzendorf predict.
On her research trip to the Beaufort Sea in the far north of Alaska, home to one of the most important polar bear populations in the world, Klenzendorf examined the number and condition of polar bears.
Eleven years ago there were 1500 living here, now there are only 900. And there are signs of malnutrition in these animals.
Dirk Notz from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg wants to find out what significance global warming has for the expansion of sea ice.
During his Svalbard expedition he finds water where there should be sea ice. And the ice that is still there is getting thinner and thinner.
Starving people are found there more and more often animals. Changes in the pack ice are apparently progressing so quickly that the polar bears have no time to adapt to the changing conditions.
Their survival depends on solid sea ice as this is the only place they can hunt. In the “polar bear capital”, Churchill, Canada, the white giants are increasingly scavenging for food in garbage dumps.
In search of food, they penetrate residential areas - which is not without danger for those who live there People.
Climate researcher Notz is certain: human-caused global warming is responsible for the retreat of the ice. The fate of the last quarter of Arctic sea ice and the future of polar bears rest in our hands.”
