On Deadly 60, I've had loads of incredible animal encounters. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
Here's just one of my many favourites. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
This is Deadly 60 Bites! | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
We've come to the Polar Zoo in Norway | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
to get close to one of the most feared animals in the world. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
It's the wolf. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
I have to say now, these are not tame animals. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
They're still wolves so we need to watch our back at all times | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
and just keep an eye on them. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Beyond that fence...look at that! | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
With wolf-expert Tess by my side, we should be safe. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
All right... Come on, puppies! | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Tess has been interacting with them since they were puppies, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
but it's not going to be the same with us, particularly with the camera equipment. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
WOLVES WHINE | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
So we sit quietly in the hope that the pack will come over for a look. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
This is really interesting. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
As they're approaching, they're kind of chatting to each other. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Just figuring out who's going to be the first to be allowed to come in and talk to Tess, not to me. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:20 | |
The fighting and nipping and scratching and biting, it all has a real function | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
of keeping the team together and everyone in their right positions. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
It also gives you a really good look at those teeth. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
The canines are huge. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Utterly ferocious! | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
As they approach, they're very much being led by that canine supersense, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
smell. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Let's see what comes in first. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Always the nose, always sussing things out | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
with that incredible sense of smell first. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
2,000 times more powerful than ours. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
'That phenomenal sense of smell is used to track prey from over a mile away in the wild.' | 0:02:06 | 0:02:12 | |
And imagine not just one nose, but a whole pack, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
testing the air for the first whiff of dinner. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
The wolf uses all 220 million of its scent receptors to deadly use. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:25 | |
They hunt large animals like deer that can be five times their size, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:31 | |
and are armed with sharp hooves and antlers. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
The incredible stamina of wolves to run for miles when chasing prey | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
means that once they've locked on to a target, they mean business. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
And even these wolves are only one step away from a snap. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Ow! | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
I think I might have moved a little bit too fast there, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
and just got snapped at. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Wow. Just a nibble...but even so. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:06 | |
As individuals, wolves are awesome predators, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
but it's when they come together as a pack that they are really deadly. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
The way they bring themselves together, particularly before a hunt, is using a howl, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
and we're going to try that now and see if we can get these guys to join in. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-Shall we give it a go? -Give it a go. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
THEY HOWL | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
WOLVES HOWL | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
It's working! | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
CHORUS OF HOWLS | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
The wolf. The voice of the wilderness and the ultimate team hunter. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:48 | |
Definitely on the Deadly 60. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
