1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,080
From the mighty grizzly bear...
2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,000
..to the endearing, real-life
Paddington, the spectacled bear...
3
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,320
..and the majestic polar bear,
king of the frozen North...
4
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,840
..this remarkable animal family
has long captured our imagination.
5
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,560
But as some of the biggest
animals on Earth, they need
6
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,880
more than just the bare
necessities to get by.
7
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,520
So, whether it's raiding
nature's larder,
8
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,560
standing up to their rivals...
9
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,000
..raising the cubs...
10
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,440
..or even proving that you're
smarter than the average bear...
11
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,240
..each must draw on all its skills
to survive.
12
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,800
Today, bears face their biggest
obstacles yet...
13
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,400
..as they try to get to grips
with a changing world.
14
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,760
But whatever
they're confronted with,
15
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,360
bears always try and take
life in their stride.
16
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,240
Bears are some of the most
charismatic animals
17
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,560
to walk our planet...
18
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,840
..and they all share the same
key characteristics.
19
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,720
Like this brown bear,
their impressive size
20
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,880
and strength sets them apart.
21
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,280
They have forward-facing eyes
with vision similar to our own.
22
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,640
But their sense of smell is
over 100 times more powerful.
23
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,600
Large, dexterous
paws are tipped with long claws
24
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,480
that can open up even more
opportunities.
25
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,400
Although they're classed
as carnivores, most bears eat
26
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,760
a diverse mix of plants,
insects and meat.
27
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Across the world, there
are just eight species,
28
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,800
yet they range over a wide variety
of habitats...
29
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,160
..from the ice world of the North,
30
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,200
through the mountains of Asia...
31
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,760
..to the heat of the tropics.
32
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:16,160
To live in these very different
places, they've had to adapt.
33
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,240
The skills they need to survive
must be learned and mastered
34
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,440
over a lifetime.
35
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,880
So making it as a bear is
far from easy.
36
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,080
Katmai National Park in Alaska -
37
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,400
a wilderness where mountains
38
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,760
meet the sea.
39
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,400
This is home to the brown bear,
40
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400
sometimes known as the grizzly.
41
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,160
GROWLS
42
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,720
And they're gathering for one
of the most extraordinary
43
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,200
events in nature...
44
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,280
..the salmon run.
45
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,960
Every summer, millions of salmon
head upstream to spawn.
46
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Waterfalls are a natural barrier
for the migrating fish...
47
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,920
..and the bears know it.
48
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,360
Three cubs emerge from the forest.
49
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,120
Their mother is thin
and needs to eat.
50
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,000
But this is a dangerous
place for a young family.
51
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,720
THEY GROWL
52
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,320
Competition for every fish
is fierce.
53
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,720
For their own safety, the cubs
are kept on the sidelines.
54
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,200
It's a prime position to watch
the action.
55
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,520
Catching a powerful, slippery
salmon is tough...
56
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,160
..and the grizzlies, like all bears,
must work out the best way to tackle
57
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,400
the food on offer.
58
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,080
There's the dash and grab.
59
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,600
Less energetic is the stand
and wait approach.
60
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,880
But it has its downsides.
61
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Beneath the falls, sit and wait
is the most successful strategy.
62
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,480
Fights can break out at any moment.
63
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,280
For now, the cubs
are out of their depth.
64
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,400
An experienced big male
can catch 30 salmon a day...
65
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,880
..and eventually most of them
have had enough.
66
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,280
The mother bear decides
it's safe to return.
67
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,520
Her cubs are depending on her.
68
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,960
A perfectly timed catch.
69
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,680
Patience and experience pay off...
70
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,000
..and the family can feed.
71
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,080
The skill and judgment needed
to master a chaotic situation
72
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,080
like this, with tricky prey and
other bears, takes years to learn.
73
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,360
So, for cubs, lessons start early.
74
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,680
The forested areas of North America
75
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,640
are home to the grizzlies' smaller
cousin, the American black bear.
76
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,880
These cubs are nearly four
months old and, at this age,
77
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,120
they're learning new skills
every day.
78
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,880
Play fighting
improves their coordination
79
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,440
and builds muscle strength.
80
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,320
It also helps sort out who's
who in the pecking order.
81
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,920
The youngest cub soon
learns her lowly position.
82
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,440
She may be last in line,
but she still benefits
83
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,800
from her mother's milk.
84
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120
It's almost 25% fat.
85
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,560
That's five times as rich as
cow's milk.
86
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:14,480
THEY GRUNT
87
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,520
Soon, these cubs will move
on to solids, so they're starting
88
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,800
to investigate other food
around them.
89
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,160
In spring, young leaves and ants
are a good source of protein.
90
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,240
But it's too early for pine nuts.
91
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Learning what they can eat and when
will be vital in the future.
92
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,200
But right now, the cubs
are vulnerable,
93
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,520
and there are more pressing issues.
94
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,000
There are predators
in these forests.
95
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:24,160
A bald eagle could snatch
and kill a cub...
96
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:30,800
..as could a coyote.
97
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,200
Most dangerous of all are
grey wolves.
98
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,240
But there is a place the cubs
can seek safety.
99
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,000
Thanks to their strong,
curved claws...
100
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,360
..these bear cubs can climb
from a young age.
101
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,480
But perfecting the technique
takes time.
102
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,400
They need to work out which trees
are best for gripping onto.
103
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Smaller trees and branches
are good for practice -
104
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,640
well, most of the time.
105
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,160
This tree is too flaky.
106
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,080
This tree is too slippy.
107
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,920
But this tree is just right.
108
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Going up is one thing...
109
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,160
..but coming down again
can require a helping hand.
110
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:10,160
THEY GROWL
111
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,240
All bears
must learn how to avoid danger...
112
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,920
..and there's one species that's
come up with an unusual strategy.
113
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,880
India...
114
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,760
..home to the sloth bear.
115
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,240
Here, there are fewer
tall trees to escape into.
116
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,920
And, in any case, the local
predators are skilled climbers.
117
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,080
So these sloth bear cubs
need a different escape plan.
118
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,480
WAILING
119
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,280
When their mother sounds the alarm,
120
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,280
they head for
the safest place around.
121
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Her shaggy coat
means the cubs can climb
122
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,480
onto her back, clinging on
using strong forelegs and toes.
123
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,040
It's unusual for a big cat
to challenge a sloth bear mother...
124
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,360
..unlike her cubs, who so often do.
125
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,440
A mother bear is the cubs'
protection and their only guide.
126
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,000
With so many skills to learn,
127
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,440
most bear cubs stay with their
mother for two to three years.
128
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,880
THEY GROWL
129
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,040
In Alaska,
a five-month-old grizzly bear cub
130
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,000
is working out his boundaries.
131
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,240
Adult bears spend
most of their lives alone,
132
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,360
so this time with his mother
helps him learn how to interact
133
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:23,640
with other bears.
134
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,720
All cubs need to master
their new surroundings.
135
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,840
In the Arctic,
136
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,040
young polar bears emerge from
their den to take their first
137
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,400
steps in the snow.
138
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,200
This cub is more cautious.
139
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,240
They need to get to grips
with this terrain quickly.
140
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,320
Soon, they will have to walk
many miles in search of food.
141
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,840
In Canada, another grizzly bear cub
is trying his luck at fishing.
142
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,960
His mother shows how it's done.
143
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,640
Observational learning is one
of the most effective ways for cubs
144
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,400
to pick up new skills,
and, with so many salmon here,
145
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,960
he's got a good chance.
146
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,120
Now to hold on to it.
147
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,520
As cubs grow more independent...
148
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,160
..they start trying things
out for themselves.
149
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,120
In the woodlands of Minnesota,
a fallen tree holds something
150
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,360
that bears are famously fond of...
151
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,000
..honey.
152
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,800
BEES BUZZ
153
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,920
And it hasn't gone unnoticed.
154
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,880
This nine-month-old black bear
cub may have never
155
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,680
encountered bees before...
156
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,920
..and sometimes learning
can be a painful process.
157
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,760
HE GROWLS
158
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,200
His more experienced mother
has a tried and tested technique.
159
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,000
This smash and grab leads
to fewer stings.
160
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,840
Honeycomb provides sugars
and protein
161
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,760
from the bee larvae inside.
162
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,320
Much of a cub's learning is focused
on food. As one of the biggest land
163
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,720
animals, some bears need over 5,000
calories just on an average day.
164
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,520
In many parts of the world,
165
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,440
bears have to adapt and specialise
to fuel their sizable appetites.
166
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,000
The Andes Mountains
in South America,
167
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080
home to this continent's only bear.
168
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,520
White facial markings are
a clue to its name -
169
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,440
the spectacled bear.
170
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,840
But to many of us, it's far
more familiar as the storybook
171
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,920
character of Paddington.
172
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,800
Like its fictional counterpart,
this bear has a sweet tooth...
173
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:13,360
..although in these cloud
forests, marmalade sandwiches
174
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,120
aren't an option.
175
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,480
Fortunately, there's another
high-calorie food here...
176
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,040
..bromeliads - a family of plants
that includes the pineapple.
177
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,720
Growing metres off the ground,
they're out of reach
178
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,320
for most large mammals.
179
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,880
Bromeliads are notoriously robust
plants, but the spectacled bear
180
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,040
can break them apart with ease.
181
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:02,240
That's because, relative to its
size, it has the largest jaw muscle
182
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:07,880
of any bear species and grinding
teeth that are secured into its jaws
183
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,240
with three roots instead of two.
184
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,680
It's after the sugar-rich core.
185
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,040
The spectacled bear will also eat
palm nuts,
186
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,320
birds' eggs and small animals.
187
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,600
But half of its diet is made up
of these high-energy plants.
188
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,760
Unfortunately, bromeliads
tend to be widely scattered
189
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,640
across this mountainous terrain...
190
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,000
..so these bears have to search
191
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,040
their entire territory
to find food...
192
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,640
..which can be
up to 115 square miles.
193
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,600
They have a surprising skill
to help them.
194
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,880
Research has shown that spectacled
bears can remember the location
195
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,080
of important resources by building
up a mental map of the area.
196
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,720
Higher up the mountain is
the paramo - a land swathed
197
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:36,960
in tall grasses.
198
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,040
It's too cold for tree-growing
bromeliads,
199
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,160
but not too cold for puyas -
200
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,800
giant ground bromeliads that
can stand over three metres tall.
201
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,880
But getting to their sugary centre
202
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,080
requires a different technique.
203
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,880
The spectacled bear can satisfy
its need for calories
204
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,560
by using its strength
and its ability to find
205
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,640
and remember food sources.
206
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,320
But on the other side of the world,
a very different habitat presents
207
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,200
an even greater challenge.
208
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,280
Across Asia, many of the forests
are populated by one kind
209
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,920
of plant - bamboo.
210
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,200
In China alone, bamboo forests cover
211
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,680
an area of over 20,000 square miles.
212
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,520
But for an animal
trying to make it here,
213
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,720
there's just one problem.
214
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,400
Bamboo is incredibly tough
and fibrous
215
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,480
and particularly low in calories.
216
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,440
So, to conquer this landscape,
217
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,880
one bear has done
something quite extraordinary.
218
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,800
The giant panda has adapted its body
219
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,440
and even its behaviour
220
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840
to almost exclusively eat bamboo.
221
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,320
The bear spends its days searching
the Qinling Mountains for the most
222
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,240
nutritious parts of the plant.
223
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,800
It usually sits down to eat...
224
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,240
..so that its flexible forepaws
225
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,480
are free to help harvest the bamboo.
226
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,160
It's the only bear that has
evolved a wrist bone to act as
227
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,800
an opposable thumb...
228
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,000
..allowing it to select and
manipulate the most tender
229
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,680
part of the plant.
230
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,560
To prevent injury
from bamboo splinters,
231
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,560
its oesophagus and stomach
are lined with tough, thick walls.
232
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,040
But its digestive system,
like those of other bears, is built
233
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,160
for eating meat, and it lacks
the plant-digesting bacteria
234
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,320
of a true herbivore.
235
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,760
So, to get enough nutrients,
it has to feed for up to 14 hours
236
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:54,160
a day and chew its way through
12 kilos or more of bamboo.
237
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,680
This low-energy diet also
affects a panda's behaviour.
238
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,920
To avoid exhaustion, it limits
unnecessary socialising and walking
239
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,080
in tricky terrain.
240
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,560
Bamboo is evergreen,
241
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,080
so the panda can eat all year round.
242
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,840
It's even come up with a method
of breaking ice off frozen leaves
243
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,880
by using its warm snout.
244
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,080
Fossil evidence suggests that pandas
have been eating bamboo for the last
245
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,560
four million years, but their
complete dependence on one plant
246
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,240
has put them in danger.
247
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,480
Pandas once thrived across
eastern and southern China
248
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,360
but, as the forests made
way for human development,
249
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:20,440
their population crashed
to just 1,000 bears.
250
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,720
Today, their range is restricted
to six isolated mountain ranges.
251
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,120
Over the last six decades, efforts
have been made to save the panda
252
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:36,560
by giving them protection
and setting up reserves.
253
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,240
And in the early 1980s,
China opened its first
254
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,080
captive breeding centre.
255
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,280
This programme has been very
successful, with over 300 pandas
256
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,680
born in captivity.
257
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:02,760
Some of these are now being released
into the wild.
258
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,880
Work to bring this bear back
from the brink of extinction
259
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,520
is starting to pay off.
260
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,960
Today, the wild population
has nearly doubled
261
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,720
to just over 1,800 pandas.
262
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,880
An almost exclusively vegetarian
diet is the exception for bears.
263
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:42,640
Most need more protein to thrive,
and they'll go to extreme lengths
264
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:43,760
to get it.
265
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,160
In India's dry grasslands,
food is hard to come by.
266
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,280
This fortress holds the answer.
267
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,120
But how to get inside?
268
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,080
The sloth bear is
the real-life Baloo...
269
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,800
..the character in Rudyard
Kipling's Jungle Book.
270
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,080
Its distinctive shaggy coat
made early explorers think
271
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:24,000
it was a sloth, but it's the bear's
powerful paws and unusual face
272
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,880
which are key
to how it gets its food.
273
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,160
Under cover of darkness, it targets
the mound's inhabitants...
274
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,440
..termites.
275
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,240
They build these giant mounds,
which are fortified by a wall
276
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,640
of sun-baked clay.
277
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,480
Most termites are less than
two centimetres long,
278
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,600
but there could be over a million
of them inside.
279
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:15,960
To get to them, the sloth bear
has just the tools for the job.
280
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,200
It uses eight centimetre-long claws
to tear into the mound.
281
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,360
Soldier termites have pincers,
but they're no match for this bear's
282
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:33,840
next form of attack.
283
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,040
Long, floppy lips and a lack
of front teeth allow it to use
284
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,720
its mouth like a hoover and suck up
hundreds of termites at a time.
285
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,800
It can also shut its nostrils
to avoid inhaling dirt
286
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,520
or any stray insects.
287
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:12,080
A sloth bear can demolish an entire
termite colony in a single night.
288
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Rich in fat as well as protein,
289
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,240
termites provide almost
double the number of calories
290
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,280
as a rump steak.
291
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,120
Insects like these can form
95% of a sloth bear's diet.
292
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,560
Around the world,
293
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,400
physical adaptations allow
different bear species to specialise
294
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,440
on the most nutritious
food available.
295
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,920
In Southeast Asia,
296
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,720
nothing is out of reach
for the sun bear.
297
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,280
Sickle-shaped claws
and bare-soled feet
298
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,760
mean it can access fruit in
the jungle's tallest trees.
299
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,000
Powerful paws expose
insect larvae...
300
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,280
..and they use a 25 centimetre-long
tongue to fish them out.
301
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,280
Japan.
302
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,160
On the rocky slopes
of the Hida Mountains,
303
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,360
an Asiatic black bear
uses its sense of smell and careful
304
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,640
footwork to uncover its prey...
305
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,600
..ants.
306
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,240
It can spend up to eight hours
a day flipping these rocks.
307
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,360
When it comes to food, most bears
show a remarkable level
308
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,480
of resourcefulness...
309
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,800
..and that's just as well
because the bears
310
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,480
living in the Northern Hemisphere
311
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,720
face a particularly
difficult challenge.
312
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,800
North America.
313
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,600
In seasonal climates,
the food available changes
314
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:20,680
with the time of year...
315
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,080
..so bears like these grizzlies
have to switch food sources
316
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,200
every few weeks.
317
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,320
Spring brings new growth.
318
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,320
Succulent sedges and grasses
provide a welcome protein boost.
319
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,920
As summer approaches, seafood
appears on the menu, but the bears
320
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,400
need to plan ahead.
321
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,080
They time their hunting during
322
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,680
the 3-5 hour window of low tide.
323
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,960
On the exposed sand,
324
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,200
they detect their prey by smell.
325
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,200
Clams.
326
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,880
Grizzlies can eat as many
as 100 clams in one low tide.
327
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,280
They'll also gather seaweed,
barnacles and mussels to add
328
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,080
to their varied diet.
329
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,800
But in early autumn,
330
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,240
the bears' appetites
331
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,840
suddenly go into overdrive.
332
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,440
On the coast,
333
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,800
this coincides with the appearance
of a major food source.
334
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,520
The salmon are back.
335
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,600
Hormonal changes cause
the bears to enter a phase
336
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,200
of excessive eating, or hyperphagia.
337
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,520
They eat almost continuously
without ever feeling full.
338
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,760
At this time of year, grizzlies
can consume up to 100,000
339
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,840
calories a day.
340
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,920
That's the equivalent of
over 1,000 boiled eggs.
341
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,640
But this gluttony has a purpose.
342
00:33:52,960 --> 00:34:00,320
HOWLING
343
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,280
As winter tightens its grip
in the North...
344
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,160
..feeding opportunities
begin to disappear.
345
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,520
For many large animals,
this can spell disaster.
346
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,920
But bears have a solution.
347
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,560
It's all down to an extraordinary
feat of physiology.
348
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:50,160
After their autumn feeding
frenzy, they retreat to a den.
349
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,560
Inside, they enter
a state of hibernation.
350
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,840
In this deep sleep,
351
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,360
their body temperature
drops several degrees
352
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,200
and their heartbeat slows
to as few as ten beats a minute.
353
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,840
They don't eat or
drink for seven months.
354
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,960
Instead, they rely solely
on their fat reserves to stay alive.
355
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,480
Grizzlies, American, and Asiatic
black bears all enter this
356
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,480
deep form of hibernation
in colder climes.
357
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,640
They don't experience any heart
complications, blood clots or
358
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,400
even bone and muscle loss during
this extended period of inactivity.
359
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,040
The implications for human
medicine are huge.
360
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,680
NASA scientists are hoping
the bears' biochemical secrets
361
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,320
will one day help astronauts with
long distance space travel.
362
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,840
BIRDSONG
363
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,680
With the arrival of spring,
the bears emerge healthy and lean.
364
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:26,200
After their long fast,
they stock up in the meadows.
365
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,680
Bears have had to adapt to make
the most of the food available.
366
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,240
But it's not the only
challenge they face.
367
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:41,560
Adult bears lead mostly
solitary lives.
368
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,160
And as the season warms up,
369
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,760
many animals have just
one thing on their mind.
370
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,440
So, how does a bear find a mate?
371
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,960
The answer involves trees...
372
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,960
..and a good old-fashioned
back scratch.
373
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,560
As they rub,
they mark the tree with their scent.
374
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,960
It's like leaving a calling card.
375
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,400
The higher they can rub, the better.
376
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,480
This way,
their scent can travel further.
377
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:46,000
And it doesn't take long for
these chemical signals
378
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,840
to attract other bears...
379
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,320
..who then leave their own messages.
380
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:02,840
It's thought that this
unusual form of communication helps
381
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:08,120
individuals work out who's around,
who to avoid and who's available.
382
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,000
Now, all they need to do
is get together.
383
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,600
On the Alaskan coast, the dating
game has moved to the next stage.
384
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,120
Male and female grizzlies
gather on the meadows.
385
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,800
Some travel for hundreds
of miles to be here.
386
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,320
The big males show off
with a strut...
387
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,800
..known as the cowboy walk.
388
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,000
But there's more to this swagger
than meets the eye.
389
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,480
As they twist their paws
into the grass,
390
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,520
they leave behind a scent trail,
made up of 26 volatile chemicals.
391
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,440
The effect is enhanced with urine.
392
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,040
These pungent scents
and body postures signal the bear's
393
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,960
intent to mate and help males
establish a hierarchy.
394
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,720
But when males are evenly matched,
395
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:32,440
there's only one way to
resolve their differences.
396
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,360
GROWLING AND ROARING
397
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,280
With the battle over, the victor
can continue his courtship.
398
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,880
In some parts of the world, finding
a mate is even more challenging.
399
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,560
The Arctic.
400
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:32,760
Freezing temperatures and gale force
winds make this land of snow and ice
401
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,200
one of the most inhospitable
places on the planet.
402
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,560
But to a polar bear, it's home.
403
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,960
Polar bears evolved from brown bears
many thousands of years ago
404
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,760
and spread north.
405
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,840
Here, a lone male occupies
406
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,600
a massive home range,
407
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,920
sometimes in excess of
100,000 square miles.
408
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,520
That's an area over 200 times bigger
than Greater London.
409
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,560
So, the chances of meeting a mate
here seem vanishingly small.
410
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,480
But this Arctic nomad
has a strategy.
411
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,160
In common with grizzlies,
412
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,720
polar bears have sweat glands
on the soles of their feet...
413
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,600
..so their footprints
are full of information.
414
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,480
All a male has to do is follow them.
415
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,160
But his long distance trek
is no guarantee of romance
416
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,360
on the first date.
417
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,440
When he finds her,
he's got to impress.
418
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,160
She'll only mate with him
if she thinks he's fit and strong.
419
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,600
So she puts him to the test.
420
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,120
His downhill tobogganing
lacks style,
421
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,440
but he's keeping up.
422
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,320
The next challenge is
a rocky ascent.
423
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,800
The female makes it look easy.
424
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,080
Weighing almost twice as much
as her, at close to half a tonne,
425
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,360
size isn't on the male's side.
426
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,520
He needs some encouragement.
427
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,680
And she has a unique
way of giving it.
428
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,720
This is one of the few times that
polar bears come together as adults.
429
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,400
Courtship can last three weeks.
430
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,520
Then,
they'll go their separate ways.
431
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,120
The female will spend the winter
months under the snow,
432
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,560
where she'll give birth to her cubs.
433
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,360
And the male will endure
the coldest weather that
434
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,720
any bear on the planet must face.
435
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,400
Temperatures will
drop as low as minus 40 degrees.
436
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,240
But this extraordinary bear has
mastered the art of staying warm.
437
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,520
A double-layered fur coat not
only helps to keep out the cold,
438
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,920
but it also keeps the heat in
by trapping infrared radiation.
439
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:14,560
And underneath is a layer of
pure blubber, up to 11cm thick,
440
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,400
which provides vital insulation.
441
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:23,840
But to maintain its ample waistline,
a polar bear needs high fat food...
442
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,320
..seals.
443
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:33,240
And the best place to catch them
is on the sea ice.
444
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,360
This is where the seals create
breathing holes and dens.
445
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,360
The polar bear's sense of smell,
446
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,920
said to be seven times more
powerful than a bloodhound,
447
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,480
can pick up the scent of a seal
from over a mile away.
448
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,840
To help it walk across
the ice sheet,
449
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,640
large paws act like snow shoes
to spread the weight,
450
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,320
while bumps of skin on the footpads
451
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,160
and hairs between
the toes provide grip.
452
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:37,040
It can pinpoint its prey by smell
90cm beneath the ice.
453
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,000
But seals are agile swimmers
454
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,080
and nine out of ten hunts
end in failure.
455
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,120
There are successes and to survive,
456
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:17,080
each bear must catch at least one
adult seal every ten to 12 days.
457
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,040
But, today, polar bears are facing
a new challenge.
458
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:33,720
With rising year-round temperatures,
their hunting grounds are shrinking.
459
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,760
Enormous masses of ice that were
frozen for thousands of years
460
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,320
have broken apart and melted away.
461
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:52,800
Each year, the Arctic's frozen ocean
is becoming smaller and thinner.
462
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,680
Polar bears are being forced to swim
ever greater distances
463
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,320
to hunt seals.
464
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,280
With their powers of endurance
pushed to the limit,
465
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:15,200
many will starve or even drown.
466
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,520
If current trends continue,
467
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,640
some scientists predict the summer
sea ice in the Arctic could be
468
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,640
gone within half a century
and with it,
469
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,440
potentially a third
of all polar bears.
470
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,280
In some parts of the Arctic,
471
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,080
polar bears are trying to adapt
to this changing world.
472
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,440
Driven by hunger, the normally
solitary bears have been
473
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,680
filmed coming together to
feed on our leftovers.
474
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,800
It's a desperate
and slightly alarming strategy.
475
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:26,640
In today's world,
476
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,720
people are increasingly
encroaching on the wilderness.
477
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,640
This is a problem for all animals.
478
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,040
But the bears' opportunistic
nature means many of them
479
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,200
will try to take on this
new challenge.
480
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,800
SIREN WAILS
481
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,400
Bears have an in-built curiosity
and the largest brains,
482
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,480
relative to body size,
of all carnivores.
483
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,000
They've discovered
a way in to our world.
484
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,880
LAUGHTER
485
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,320
And cubs follow
the lead of their mothers.
486
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,000
With their dextrous paws, they are
practically made for breaking
487
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,520
and entering.
488
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:25,440
Unlike many animals, they'll readily
investigate anything new
489
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,000
and quickly work out
if it can be useful.
490
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,360
Because of their broad diet,
they thrive on our food.
491
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,160
Some scientists believe that the
bears' problem-solving abilities
492
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,520
mean they should be ranked with
monkeys, in terms of intelligence.
493
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,360
And many of them have worked
out that modern life can bring
494
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:03,960
multiple benefits.
495
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,080
The bear's right next to us!
496
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,960
Where we live in such
close proximity,
497
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,440
our relationship with bears
can at times be fraught.
498
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:20,240
Oh, my goodness! Oh, my...!
SCREAMS
499
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,880
But there is a place where
it's become almost harmonious.
500
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,000
The north east coast of Japan...
501
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,960
..and the salmon
are gathering offshore.
502
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,000
Soon, they'll head inland to spawn.
503
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,320
This is the Ussuri brown bear.
504
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:02,040
They've been coming to these shores
505
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,160
for centuries.
506
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:10,000
More recently, the autumn bonanza
507
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,440
of salmon has attracted
other fishermen.
508
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,000
Both of them
are dependent on this food source.
509
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,400
While the bears
fish in the shallows,
510
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,800
the fishermen target
salmon out at sea.
511
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:43,520
In the past, people here were
more fearful of these animals
512
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,320
and tried to fence them out.
513
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:51,120
But the bears never became a threat
514
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:56,680
and now around 200 peacefully share
space with the human population.
515
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,160
It's a unique relationship,
where both can reap the rewards.
516
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,360
In the modern world,
bears and people will
517
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:16,000
increasingly need to share space
and resources like food and water.
518
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,960
And, for bears, working out how to
do this starts from a young age.
519
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:31,760
Serranias del Burro, a mountainous
region in Mexico's north east.
520
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:43,360
It's home to the black bear,
which is endangered in this country.
521
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,600
For this family,
522
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,600
the biggest challenge in the heat
of summer isn't food...
523
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,360
..it's finding enough to drink.
524
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,440
The underlying limestone rock
soaks up the rain,
525
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,200
leaving no permanent streams.
526
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,440
Fortunately, there's another source,
527
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,880
but reaching it requires
skill and cunning.
528
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,800
This is an area
used for cattle grazing.
529
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,120
The ranchers have set up watering
holes by tapping into
530
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:31,920
underground springs.
531
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,880
The bears can take
advantage of this,
532
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,560
but the cattle are desperate
for water too.
533
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:59,000
They're naturally wary of
potential predators
534
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,320
and armed with sharp horns
535
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,280
which could easily injury
or even kill a bear.
536
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,560
The livestock move off.
537
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,560
The family finally
have their chance to drink.
538
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,240
But they're still not alone.
539
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:49,840
It's a big male...
540
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,040
..and the cubs aren't safe.
541
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,640
Their mother has taught them well.
542
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,560
As the male cools off...
543
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:21,680
..they have to be patient.
544
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,720
Finally, the coast is clear.
545
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,640
The ranchers here are
very tolerant of bears.
546
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,680
They even provide
a step up for the cubs.
547
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,640
Weighing up the risks
and taking advantage of
548
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,440
new opportunities are vital
skills for bear cubs to learn.
549
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,400
All too soon, they will have to
take their first steps towards
550
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:16,680
independence
and stand on their own two feet.
551
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,520
After spending their early years
in the care of their mother,
552
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,640
young bears face
a very different world.
553
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,360
For the first time in their lives...
554
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,840
..they are alone.
555
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,400
To be a bear takes a lot of skill.
556
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,280
From avoiding danger...
557
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,360
..surviving the seasons...
558
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,040
..and learning to tackle
whatever food is in front of them...
559
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,640
..and if they can do that,
560
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,320
they'll reap the rewards.
561
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,360
But the bears'
biggest challenge yet...
562
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,240
..is today's rapidly changing world.
563
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:52,120
Six of the eight species of bear
are vulnerable to extinction.
564
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,680
There is more pressure than ever
on their habitats
565
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,520
and the food they depend on.
566
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:06,600
They'll need our help
and our willingness to share space.
567
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,200
If we give them the chance,
568
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,080
their brains,
brawn and ability to adapt...
569
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:17,760
..will do the rest.
