I could smell it. 182 00:43:29,064 --> 00:43:31,984 But the trick was getting to it. 183 00:43:40,868 --> 00:43:45,706 Just as we were making some progress, another male. 184 00:43:46,373 --> 00:43:49,627 Come to ruin our good fortune, again. 185 00:43:53,964 --> 00:43:56,133 It was best to keep our distance. 186 00:44:11,857 --> 00:44:15,861 At least he would be more interested in the whale than us. 187 00:44:51,730 --> 00:44:53,107 I was so jealous, 188 00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:57,403 watching as he broke through the skin with his more powerful jaws. 189 00:45:04,243 --> 00:45:09,581 Mom decided this opportunity was too great to abandon. 190 00:45:12,209 --> 00:45:14,586 Good things come to those who wait. 191 00:45:29,893 --> 00:45:33,689 In the days that followed, more and more bears arrived, 192 00:45:34,064 --> 00:45:37,025 lured by the smell of the delicious feast. 193 00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:50,706 Mom wasn't letting me anywhere close, until they were all well fed. 194 00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:59,298 It didn't take long for all those jaws to tear through the skin 195 00:45:59,381 --> 00:46:03,093 and gorge on the juicy goodness inside. 196 00:46:14,271 --> 00:46:17,065 I so wanted in on that. 197 00:46:32,498 --> 00:46:33,957 Once they'd had their fill, 198 00:46:34,374 --> 00:46:37,753 they all washed off their sloppy meal with a nice swim. 199 00:46:46,887 --> 00:46:51,600 I had never seen so many ice bears together in one place. 200 00:46:56,772 --> 00:47:03,278 In that moment, with so much food to go around, there was no competition. 201 00:47:04,530 --> 00:47:07,616 So they simply reveled in each other's company. 202 00:47:14,915 --> 00:47:19,628 Finally, when even the biggest of them was stuffed completely, 203 00:47:20,420 --> 00:47:22,005 I took my turn. 204 00:47:25,676 --> 00:47:27,678 Way better than seaweed. 205 00:47:37,271 --> 00:47:39,231 After all we'd been through, 206 00:47:42,818 --> 00:47:46,071 all the hunger and hardship, 207 00:47:48,282 --> 00:47:54,079 I can still remember the three of us just playing. 208 00:48:01,670 --> 00:48:04,840 It was the best day of my life. 209 00:49:05,108 --> 00:49:08,695 Our second winter was much worse than our first. 210 00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:19,539 The power of those storms... 211 00:49:21,124 --> 00:49:23,001 they were something totally new. 212 00:49:49,945 --> 00:49:54,658 When spring arrived, there were only two of us. 213 00:50:03,917 --> 00:50:06,044 The winter had taken my brother. 214 00:50:40,996 --> 00:50:44,916 From then on, it was just Mom and me. 215 00:51:19,618 --> 00:51:26,166 Fire and ice have always been enemies. But now, fire is winning. 216 00:51:34,966 --> 00:51:38,553 Even the land is beginning to melt beneath our feet. 217 00:51:49,231 --> 00:51:53,527 The old routes through our home are becoming impassable. 218 00:52:01,952 --> 00:52:04,246 This is not the summer I knew. 219 00:52:05,664 --> 00:52:09,042 This is some other season. 220 00:52:36,862 --> 00:52:40,574 I remember the third summer of my childhood was the warmest. 221 00:52:48,123 --> 00:52:50,167 The sea ice melted away early. 222 00:52:50,750 --> 00:52:53,545 And the seals were almost impossible to find. 223 00:53:02,304 --> 00:53:07,225 So Mom led me to another of her special places to find food. 224 00:53:13,148 --> 00:53:17,360 The tip of an island, where a new type of prey I'd never seen 225 00:53:17,444 --> 00:53:19,154 was waiting for us. 226 00:53:22,032 --> 00:53:23,325 Walrus. 227 00:53:32,709 --> 00:53:37,505 I was fascinated by these strange creatures with the strange teeth. 228 00:53:46,806 --> 00:53:49,768 Or maybe it was "frightened." I can't remember. 229 00:54:01,947 --> 00:54:04,658 But Mom had a reason for bringing me here. 230 00:54:05,700 --> 00:54:09,788 It was time for me to try my hand at hunting. 231 00:54:15,877 --> 00:54:19,923 I tried to decide which one would make the easiest target. 232 00:54:27,097 --> 00:54:30,016 I decided none of them. 233 00:54:34,646 --> 00:54:38,858 Mom went up to investigate the walrus gathered at the top of the beach. 234 00:54:42,862 --> 00:54:46,408 Adults, all tightly packed together. 235 00:54:49,202 --> 00:54:51,496 Too many, and too big to handle. 236 00:55:07,387 --> 00:55:10,932 When she came back down to the water to see how I was progressing, 237 00:55:11,016 --> 00:55:13,518 I had almost worked out a plan. 238 00:55:19,232 --> 00:55:23,361 Mother walrus, holding their newborn pups with their flippers. 239 00:55:26,323 --> 00:55:29,284 The perfect-sized prey for us. 240 00:55:34,331 --> 00:55:38,752 Just swimming up and stealing them from their mothers in the water 241 00:55:38,835 --> 00:55:40,545 was not going to happen. 242 00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:50,430 But maybe there would be some pups hiding among the adults on the beach. 243 00:56:09,366 --> 00:56:13,661 There were, tucked in around the edge of the huddle. 244 00:56:19,042 --> 00:56:20,627 I took up my position. 245 00:56:23,088 --> 00:56:25,006 They didn't seem to care. 246 00:56:27,467 --> 00:56:31,262 It wasn't until Mom moved in and created panic 247 00:56:31,346 --> 00:56:33,765 that they started moving into the water. 248 00:56:54,285 --> 00:56:55,453 It worked. 249 00:56:56,162 --> 00:56:59,040 A pup, left behind by a panicked mother. 250 00:57:23,898 --> 00:57:27,152 It was the best meal we'd had in ages. 251 00:57:28,945 --> 00:57:32,031 And I was finally taking a bigger role in hunting. 252 00:57:48,798 --> 00:57:52,594 Just as winter was setting in that third year, 253 00:57:52,677 --> 00:57:54,637 my life changed forever. 254 00:58:05,190 --> 00:58:09,027 Mom knew it was time for me to make my own way. 255 00:58:14,699 --> 00:58:17,285 She had taught me everything she could. 256 00:58:17,911 --> 00:58:19,996 So, she let me go. 257 00:58:38,681 --> 00:58:43,353 Everything I'd learned from her, I would now have to attempt on my own. 258 00:59:02,413 --> 00:59:04,082 It was frightening. 259 00:59:05,124 --> 00:59:08,503 The world had never seemed so vast and lonely. 260 00:59:36,823 --> 00:59:40,243 I didn't know if I could survive without her. 261 01:00:10,565 --> 01:00:13,860 I wandered alone for the next three years. 262 01:00:18,906 --> 01:00:22,869 I did not encounter another ice bear in all that time. 263 01:01:02,617 --> 01:01:04,452 I wasn't really alone, though. 264 01:01:08,456 --> 01:01:09,832 She was with me. 265 01:01:17,090 --> 01:01:19,842 She was a part of every experience, 266 01:01:21,761 --> 01:01:23,221 every decision, 267 01:01:26,724 --> 01:01:28,017 every journey. 268 01:01:33,606 --> 01:01:36,734 A part of the bear that I had become. 269 01:01:42,782 --> 01:01:47,995 Her knowledge is what got me through those three long, grueling winters. 270 01:02:23,823 --> 01:02:28,953 And then that spring, something extraordinary happened. 271 01:02:38,254 --> 01:02:40,006 I met another ice bear. 272 01:02:46,095 --> 01:02:50,266 My experience with male bears made me very cautious. 273 01:02:51,350 --> 01:02:53,936 But that old fear quickly vanished. 274 01:02:56,439 --> 01:02:58,024 He was friendly. 275 01:03:04,405 --> 01:03:08,910 We were the same age and had both been on our own for so long. 276 01:03:09,911 --> 01:03:13,664 We just played together like carefree cubs the whole day. 277 01:03:23,132 --> 01:03:25,134 We ran off to my favorite spot. 278 01:03:28,888 --> 01:03:32,558 The ice edge, where I used to play with my brother. 279 01:05:18,706 --> 01:05:24,879 That day, I realized not all male bears had to be feared. 280 01:06:01,707 --> 01:06:05,127 Just as suddenly as he'd arrived, he was on his way again. 281 01:06:08,714 --> 01:06:12,802 We were just two young bears who met one day 282 01:06:12,885 --> 01:06:15,054 in the middle of the boundless ice. 283 01:06:29,944 --> 01:06:35,157 Later that spring, my newfound confidence would be truly tested. 284 01:06:45,835 --> 01:06:50,631 A massive, full-grown male, more than twice my size. 285 01:07:05,813 --> 01:07:07,606 He followed my scent, 286 01:07:08,899 --> 01:07:11,527 and tracked my footsteps in the snow. 287 01:07:51,233 --> 01:07:54,320 For days, he shadowed my every move. 288 01:08:12,838 --> 01:08:16,467 I had been running from male bears my whole life. 289 01:08:18,803 --> 01:08:22,306 But something about this was different. 290 01:08:25,017 --> 01:08:26,727 I felt a strength. 291 01:08:33,526 --> 01:08:35,194 I wasn't scared. 292 01:09:13,691 --> 01:09:18,320 I soon understood I was being courted. 293 01:09:52,521 --> 01:09:55,399 He stayed by my side for many days. 294 01:09:56,233 --> 01:09:59,653 Until finally, I felt the time was right. 295 01:10:05,701 --> 01:10:09,788 I wanted no trouble from any interfering ice bears, 296 01:10:09,872 --> 01:10:15,252 so I led him far away from the sea ice, into the mountains. 297 01:10:26,472 --> 01:10:29,266 It was a long, tiring trek, 298 01:10:29,558 --> 01:10:33,437 and we had to stop to rest before we reached the summit. 299 01:10:44,573 --> 01:10:46,533 We fell asleep together. 300 01:10:51,705 --> 01:10:54,792 I knew I could trust him. 301 01:11:12,226 --> 01:11:17,022 Above the clouds, not far from the very cave where I was born, 302 01:11:18,190 --> 01:11:22,319 he would help provide me with the only thing I truly desired 303 01:11:22,444 --> 01:11:24,488 since parting with my family. 304 01:11:25,698 --> 01:11:28,284 A family of my own. 305 01:11:47,344 --> 01:11:49,221 I would never see him again. 306 01:11:53,225 --> 01:11:56,729 But the next spring, my wish came true. 307 01:11:58,397 --> 01:12:00,316 I had a cub of my own. 308 01:12:14,163 --> 01:12:15,289 Just one. 309 01:12:15,956 --> 01:12:18,250 But that made her all the more special. 310 01:12:49,198 --> 01:12:51,909 She so reminded me of my brother. 311 01:13:39,790 --> 01:13:44,378 Nursing my own cub, looking back on my childhood, 312 01:13:45,295 --> 01:13:49,049 I felt I had come full circle. 313 01:13:49,174 --> 01:13:55,013 And that despite all the challenges, I had succeeded. 314 01:13:57,182 --> 01:13:59,643 My mother had succeeded. 315 01:14:39,766 --> 01:14:43,187 We ice bears are great survivors. 316 01:15:03,874 --> 01:15:07,336 We have always mastered the changes we have faced. 317 01:15:21,391 --> 01:15:26,813 We have done so by carrying the knowledge of those who've gone before. 318 01:15:36,949 --> 01:15:38,450 Where to find ice. 319 01:15:44,623 --> 01:15:46,500 How to find food. 320 01:15:54,591 --> 01:15:58,387 How to adapt to an evolving landscape. 321 01:16:18,031 --> 01:16:22,077 But I am reaching the limits of what I know about this world. 322 01:16:31,211 --> 01:16:36,049 These new changes seem to me almost insurmountable. 323 01:17:00,073 --> 01:17:05,579 My daughter will learn what it takes to be a great ice bear. 324 01:17:21,345 --> 01:17:23,305 She will endure. 325 01:17:37,819 --> 01:17:41,573 But what kind of world will she call home?
