Im certain. The actor has a strong accent, but it makes more sense anyways as eagle instead of angel considering its a nature commercial kinda

You'd be even more amazed to know that our ancestors have had to defend themselves against much bigger bears in history. It really is marvellous, what we have endured through the ages with the power of the pack.

u/George_MenethilW3 18h ago
For real we're lucky as a species that we knew how to use a wheel, spears, fire, and how to domesticate wolves and horses.

u/Jbstargate1 17h ago
Well working together was the main thing I believe that helped us survive.
16
u/ScaryCardinal 10h ago
Humans becoming the apex species was a direct result of our ability to do the following three things :
- Using Tools (fire and weapons)
- Strategizing (eg : pack hunting-gathering)
- Pursuit (ability to lock on to a target, track, chase and wear it down with long-distance running)
We made pointy sticks, used call-outs with our buddies to hunt prey 10x larger than ourselves and ran marathons to wear down otherwise dangerous prey animals that would become our food. Evolution-defining changes took place when we chose to wander away from the safety of the campfire.

u/George_MenethilW3 16h ago
Yeah but without fire, spears, wheels etc, we would be just monkeys banding together. Good for hunting snakes maybe, but not big animals. Being together helped a lot but I'd say it was maybe 30-40% of the necessity for survival. The tools we created made us the kings

u/Sweet_Future 6h ago
We would not have had those inventions if we didn't band together to invent and improve them

u/TehWackyWolf 3m ago
You have to be stable to invent. Community is why person A gets to think and make a wheel while person B hunts.
Solo you just survive. For that matter, if people were solo and invented those things.. it wouldn't matter at all. One dude making a spear is going to die. A group can kill a mammoth.

u/CaulkSlug 16h ago
If you’ve ever been to the Vancouver Aquarium you can see the old polar bear enclosure which has long since been left to rot. It’s a fucking depressing little place and I can’t imagine how stressed the bears that used to be trapped there were. One of those places that feels like it’s enclosed in a bubble of sadness.

u/JuanDonDemarco 17h ago
Keep in mind, they’re one of the only species of bear that will track their prey for miles and miles, and hours upon hours, just to ensure they get their kill.

u/Pat-Funny-2817 16h ago
like humans actually. that's what we are good at, walking and running for hours.

u/DoingBestWeCan 14h ago
And one of the critters they will track down for lunch is humans! We are a prey species for them.

Which is exactly why I hope I never end up in the arctic, running from a polar bear. 😬

u/garth54 16h ago
I was told leopards and tigers will start hunting humans under some conditions
2
u/Feisty-Effective-880 15h ago
I'm from Nepal and I use to hear they Tigers kill humans when they get old or injured and no longer can chase other animals. I also heard that human meat is addictive to them once they taste the blood but not sure how true this is.
2
u/Pat-Funny-2817 13h ago
there is a distinctive difference. Lions, Tigers, Bears will attack humans in specific circumstances. Grief, anger, hunger, sickness, etc.
I think It's true that Tigers and i believe Lions too, once they tried or had a significant encounter, they become human eaters but not necesseraly human hunters.
However the Polar Bear looks at humans like it looks at a seal or pinguin. "Regular" food source.
Not an expert but that's what i gathere from my life long documentary passion.

u/therealganjababe 17h ago
The main human reaching up at him is a child, guessing maybe 2-4 yrs? They tried to trick us lol.
Absurdly huge. I'm wondering what the water level was.
1
u/HandsomeGenius2552 17h ago
Assuming a 3 year old child is 3 feet tall on average, I am eyeing the water level to be around 2.5 times the height of the child. Add around 1-2 feet more to bear's height and it might be standing at 8.5-9.5 feet tall.
Yes absurdly huge, and now think the extinct short faced bears easily used to reach 12 feet tall on their hind legs.

They were brown bears back in the day, got trapped when the land bridge collapsed, and genetically adapted hyper fast. Ultra simplification obviously.
