If I were the bear I'd be testing out how fast the cameraman can run.

The fact that their hides can withstand a bite like that is simply incredible.

I did NOT realize walruses were THAT massive. Wow!

I went straight from worrying for the walruses to being sorry for the bear. I mean, not eating for a few months, and that wall of tusks looked like an army of swordsmen on guard.

I like how they weren't even fighting back, they just can't be killed

Holy crap. Have always thought of polar bears as killing machines. Had no idea walrus hide was that ridiculously strong

I hate it when you don't want the prey to die but you don't want the predator to starve either

I didn’t know there is an animal who can fight with bears and come out alive! Mostly unharmed too. truly fascinating.

The older you get, the more you realize the animals you thought of as kind and gentle as a child are actually some of the most powerful and fierce (wales, hippos, elephants, walrus, etc.)

The polar bears pain of seeing all that food and not being able to eat anything after starving for months must be painful. He probably won't have another chance like that in months.

When the walrus' are getting away: "Get'em polar bear, pounce on him and take him down!" When the polar bear has a walrus by the neck: "Turn around walrus and stab him with your fangs!"
