In this episode we witness one of the Arctic’s most magical moments. With the help of a one-of-a-kind local tracker, we find a female polar bear fresh out of her winter den with her tiny new cub. We see ultimate cuteness as the cub explores the world outside for the first time. Their irresistible interactions distract from the fact that the mother bear is actually making an impossible decision. The mother has spent the last eight months starving, so she is eager to rush to the ocean where she can hunt. But to reach the seal feast means a 40-mile trek. Does she wait to allow the cub to gain strength for the long trek, or does she head out to sea to make sure her milk doesn’t dry up? We also follow a young female bear in her first moments of independence, having been kicked out by her mother. She has spent the last two and a half years with her mother preparing for this moment, but she quickly manages to get herself into trouble. Will she be able to survive a wolf on the hunt? ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe ➡ Get More Wildlife with Bertie Gregory: https://on.natgeo.com/2lNK5cQ #NationalGeographic #BertieGregory #WildlifeTheBigFreeze About National Geographic: National Geographic is the world's premium destination for science, exploration, and adventure.
