0:00:01 > 0:00:03My name is Steve Backshall.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06You can call me Steve.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I'm on a mission to find the Deadly 60.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16That's 60 deadly creatures from around the world.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19And you're coming with me every step of the way.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34We're on another Deadly 60 mission.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38A good portion of this kit is woolly gloves and down jackets.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Cos we're heading to the frozen north.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Four cars, three planes and 36 hours later...
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Whoo!
0:00:59 > 0:01:04That is like stepping into a deep-freeze!
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Off there in the distance are the mountains of Northern Alaska.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12That way are frozen seas that head all the way to the North Pole.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16We are well into the Artic Circle and we are here looking for animals
0:01:16 > 0:01:20that are tough enough to make this inhospitable place their home.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We're on the search for the polar bear.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28The largest land predator in the world.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34At home on land, ice and in the water,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I want to find out what it's like to come face-to-face
0:01:38 > 0:01:40with THE top predator of the frozen north.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Bear tracks!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Polar bear tracks everywhere.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Look at these.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05They're quite small, it looks like a young adult.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09It's really something to think that we're sharing the ice
0:02:09 > 0:02:12with one of the world's most terrifying predators.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19The tracks have led us to the coast and now all that lies ahead of us
0:02:19 > 0:02:21are ever-shifting frozen seas.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25It would be extremely dangerous to venture out there.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Looks like this polar bear has given us the slip.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35There's a snowy owl, which is one of the most beautiful birds in the world,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38just sitting perched on a big chunk of ice out there.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41He's actually in very dark plumage at the moment.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45And great hunters of the Arctic tundra.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47This one here looks like he would rather be inside
0:02:47 > 0:02:50with his feet up in front of the fire.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07We're back on the hunt.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13And starting at a place that looks like some bizarre dinosaur graveyard.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17This could be our trump card for finding a polar bear.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22The local Inupiat Eskimo that live around here have been hunting
0:03:22 > 0:03:26and catching whale for generations, hundreds of years.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29They catch about three bowhead whale per year.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33When they have taken all the meat, and it is used by the community,
0:03:33 > 0:03:34every single bit of it,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38the bones are ditched here, and you this amount of potential food
0:03:38 > 0:03:42stuck in the middle of a bleak wilderness like this.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46And it attracts an enormous amount of animals that come in to feed on what's left.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49What we are hoping for is a polar bear
0:03:49 > 0:03:55but already I can see our first amazing animal.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Just sat almost totally oblivious,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01no more that ten metres in front of me,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04is an Arctic fox.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09There must be five or six of them on the bones around us.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Let's see if I can get closer to this one here.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25There's no way is he letting me get this close!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I don't believe it!
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I could reach out and touch him.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40This is incredible.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I really didn't think I'd have any chance of getting this close to one.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Within a couple of hours of having arrived here...
0:04:47 > 0:04:53It's chewing away at the last few remnants of meat that are left on there bones.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Arctic foxes may look pretty,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59but they're actually hard as nails.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02They can live in temperatures down to -50.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04And have needle sharp teeth.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07But they'll generally go for an easy meal
0:05:07 > 0:05:09over taking the effort to hunt.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15These are really important animals for us because Arctic foxes
0:05:15 > 0:05:18around here get a good deal of their diet by following
0:05:18 > 0:05:21polar bears around and picking off their scraps.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25So, if there are Arctic foxes around, and they are everywhere,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29then we stand a really good chance of finding our polar bears.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32We know the bears are out there somewhere
0:05:32 > 0:05:35but seeing them's another matter.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38It's gonna take a good deal of patience.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44We're just gonna sit here and do an old-fashioned stakeout.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I'm kinda guessing that the bears will come in after it gets dark.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51In order to be able to film them, we can't film them on a normal camera,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53we're going to use infra red.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Johnny the cameraman's got two big infra red lights set up here.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00We have cameras that are super-sensitive to that lighting. We'll see them in total darkness.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03If the bears come in here and start feeding,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05we should be able to get shots of them.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08From here on in, it's just sitting down,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10telling ourselves stories and jokes,
0:06:10 > 0:06:15and hoping to see, shambrling towards us from the horizon,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17the shape of a polar bear.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Ready, guys?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26How on earth are we supposed to take Nick seriously in that hat?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27My lucky bear hat.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53# Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
0:06:57 > 0:07:00# Somewhere cold and caked in snow... #
0:07:00 > 0:07:04'Bears are active day and night
0:07:04 > 0:07:07'but it looks like tonight's just not our lucky night.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10'There's only so long you can wait before...'
0:07:10 > 0:07:12SNORING
0:07:16 > 0:07:18'But we're not giving up.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22'The next day we're up bright and early and out on the search again.'
0:07:32 > 0:07:36We were wandering around the bone pile, all of our attention focused
0:07:36 > 0:07:40on the arctic foxes, which in themselves are an incredible bonus,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43when all of a sudden Chris, the guy who's with us,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46said, "What's that in the distance?"
0:07:46 > 0:07:48It's a wolverine.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51It's an animal that would definitely make it onto the Deadly 60
0:07:51 > 0:07:55but we never thought we'd find one here.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58People can be here for years and never see one of these animals.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02That said, this is one of THE most ferocious creatures,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04for its size, in the whole world.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It's a mustelid, a member of the weasel family.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's kind of bigger than a badger
0:08:10 > 0:08:13but with incredibly powerful jaws and teeth
0:08:13 > 0:08:16and they'll happily take on animals many times their own size.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19But at the moment he's just got his nose down
0:08:19 > 0:08:23and he's just beetling towards us across the ice.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29I thought we'd have had to work for weeks even to see an arctic fox.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Not only have we seen more arctic foxes
0:08:33 > 0:08:35than you could ever have counted
0:08:35 > 0:08:39but also one of the most elusive, most rarely seen
0:08:39 > 0:08:44but most spectacular animals found in this entire region.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46The wolverine.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49He's just got up on his hind legs!
0:08:49 > 0:08:53He's just...he's just stood up like a bear, look at that!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03This is one of the most extraordinary
0:09:03 > 0:09:05wildlife spectacles I've ever seen.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11That fox is getting awful close to him, look at this!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13He's coming right up behind him.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Ooh, don't do that, fella.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21It almost looked like the wolverine was chased off.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23'What an amazing encounter.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27'But I have a feeling the wolverine is unfinished business.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31'We're due to meet one face to face when we head south
0:09:31 > 0:09:34'but, for now, it's back out on our main mission -
0:09:34 > 0:09:36'to find a polar bear.'
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Let's go south, mate, now!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50There's something out there!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- HE LAUGHS - It's a bear!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55No more than 150 metres off from the shore.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00So exciting. I could just feel my heart start beating.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Out there, about a mile off in the distance,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05is our first polar bear.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11He's just...sort of ambling about at the moment.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17'But even from this distance you can see how powerful he is.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19'It's minus 20.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22'The crew and I are kitted out in layers and layers of warm clothes,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26'even the camera's got a jacket on, and we can just about work.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31'But this animal is totally at home in this frozen wasteland.'
0:10:33 > 0:10:37These frozen seas are absolutely essential
0:10:37 > 0:10:39to the polar bear's success.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's out there that it finds the majority of its prey.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Particularly in the winter months, when all this is frozen over,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49the seals it feeds on go through a huge amount of their life cycle,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51they have their pups here,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54and that's where the polar bear is at its lethal best.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Polar bears have an extraordinary sense of smell
0:10:57 > 0:11:02and can actually sniff out a seal from 20 miles away.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Once located, they have the strength to punch clean through ice and snow
0:11:06 > 0:11:10and could kill walrus or whales that are even larger than they are.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14It's game over for any animal unlucky enough to be
0:11:14 > 0:11:17on the receiving end of this awesome predator.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20What a magnificent creature.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27'Our luck has held out, and polar bears are going on the Deadly 60.'
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Largest land predator in the entire world,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37tough enough to live in temperatures below minus 50
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and able to smell their prey from 20 miles away,
0:11:40 > 0:11:44polar bears have got to be on the Deadly 60.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50'We've travelled 1,000 miles south
0:11:50 > 0:11:54'for a personal meeting with our unfinished business.'
0:11:57 > 0:12:01One animal that we got a tantalising glimpse of in the frozen north
0:12:01 > 0:12:04also occurs down here in the south of Alaska,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08and we've got a perfect opportunity to get up close to one.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Hi, Steve.- Good morning!- How you doing?- Fine. Nice to see you!
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- You too.- We have Jasper here, and Jasper is a very curious wolverine.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I'll give you a piece of moose meat, see if you can make friends with him.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Just make a little grunting sound.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26STEVE BACKSHALL GRUNTS That's it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Oh, you're a little curious.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32OK, I tell you what, let's go play!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- THEY LAUGH - Come on, then!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36'Jasper was born in captivity.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40'His mother was saved from hunters and he now lives with Steve.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43'The other Steve.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48'He's the only wolverine in the world that I could do this with.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50'I'm hoping that hanging out with him will prove
0:12:50 > 0:12:54'why the wolverine truly deserves its place on the Deadly 60.'
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Just keep walking.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I know this seems like just going for a walk with a big friendly dog
0:12:59 > 0:13:02but this is an animal with one of the worst reputations
0:13:02 > 0:13:06of any creature in the world for being utterly ferocious,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10utterly fearless, taking on animals many times its own size.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I have to say, I'm a little bit nervous, because, you know,
0:13:13 > 0:13:18this isn't a completely tame animal and, if it does turn,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21then it could take me apart.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25But he's so beautiful I just want to give him a big hug!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Ooh, dear.- Should I let him go? - I think we should.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32OK. He is now...free. HE GRUNTS
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Go on, bud! HE LAUGHS
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- OK. Steve, let's go. - OK. Come on, fella. Let's go!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Come on, bud!
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Oww!
0:13:45 > 0:13:49He'll grab ahold of your leg, but he won't puncture the skin, I think.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Yeah, yeah, he's...he likes you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59I know he's only playing, but this is a nightmare!
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Get him over here.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Hah!
0:14:07 > 0:14:10That's more than a lovebite! Ow!
0:14:12 > 0:14:17While I've got him here...just going to look at those remarkable jaws.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Now...the wolverine can bite
0:14:20 > 0:14:24with a strength of over a ton per square inch,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28which probably doesn't mean a tremendous amount to you, or me,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32but if I was to say that a small saltwater crocodile
0:14:32 > 0:14:36has about the same...then...
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Oh!
0:14:37 > 0:14:39..it'd probably make more sense.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43If you look at them up close, look at those canine teeth!
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Just built for ripping through meat.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52But, most of all, he's just got unbelievable guts...
0:14:52 > 0:14:55and perseverance.
0:14:55 > 0:15:01An animal this size that can eat prey many times bigger than me...
0:15:01 > 0:15:07there's no doubt the wolverine's got to go on the Deadly 60!
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Oh!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Ow!
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Stamina, guts and perseverance like no other animal I've met.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Capable of taking down prey many times its own size.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Wolverines are on the Deadly 60.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Probably seems crazy to be going on a rafting trip on a day like today.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50After all, if you went over the side and ended up in that water,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53you wouldn't last very long.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57But a fish in there doesn't mind the cold as much as we do
0:15:57 > 0:15:59and it's here in incredible numbers.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03They're salmon heading upriver to spawn.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Probably won't see any of them today underneath all this slushy ice,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12but we are hoping to see some of the animals that feed on them.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29All right! I can't paddle, film AND find the wildlife! Come on, lads!
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Don't fall in!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37This is just magical.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40This is why people come to Alaska.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44It just looks like everything - the mountains, the trees -
0:16:44 > 0:16:47have been sugar frosted with ice and snow.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53The salmon have powered all the way up here from the sea.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58If we can find where they are, we'll surely find our next deadly animal -
0:16:58 > 0:17:00the bald eagle.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05NO WAY!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08How did you manage that?!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13What a magnificent fish!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16It's looking a little bit grotty.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19He's probably reaching the end of his days.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Soon, this fish will die having completed his mission in life -
0:17:23 > 0:17:27to spawn in the very same river where he hatched.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32While they're out at sea, where they live the majority of their lives,
0:17:32 > 0:17:37they are ferocious predators. Look at those teeth and you can see why.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41But having spawned, these fish are a shadow of their former selves.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47Let's get his gills back in the water. Send him on his way.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Oh! My fingers are freezing!
0:17:53 > 0:17:59So now we've found their food, it's back on the search for the birds.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Trumpeter swans. You don't get any larger flying birds than that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24But this is the bird we've come to see.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29The largest bird of prey to live in Alaska - the bald eagle.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Masters of the sky in Alaska and the whole of North America,
0:18:36 > 0:18:41they prey on fish, smaller birds, mammals and turtles.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Each taloned foot can pierce and crush, causing massive damage.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50This is not a bird to get on the wrong side of.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55This is a totally bizarre sight for me -
0:18:55 > 0:18:59seeing all these black dots up in the trees
0:18:59 > 0:19:03and knowing every one is a bald eagle. They look more like crows.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07You don't get eagles this close together in these kind of numbers.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13Most birds of prey don't allow other birds of prey on their territory.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18But here, the bald eagles are living side by side with hundreds of others
0:19:18 > 0:19:21because, thanks to the salmon, there's so much food.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31The bald eagle is one of the most regal of birds.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33They fly at about 30mph,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37but when they're dropping out of the sky to hit prey,
0:19:37 > 0:19:42they can travel at over 100mph. They have a wingspan of 7-8 feet -
0:19:42 > 0:19:46that's as high as me standing on the ground with my arm up in the air.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Incredibly powerful beak, ferocious talons,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54this is a bird that has to be on the Deadly 60.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59The largest eagle to live in Alaska,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02able to reach speeds of over 100mph,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04with piercing, crushing talons,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08bald eagles are definitely on the Deadly 60.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23It's absolutely fr-fr-freezing.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Our time in Alaska is drawing to a close
0:20:26 > 0:20:31but there's one more iconic deadly animal I'd love to show you.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37There's loads of animal tracks
0:20:37 > 0:20:41in the soft snow along the shoreline here.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I'll go in and get a closer look.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Hopefully without getting my feet wet.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Back right and then jump. STEVE LAUGHS
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- You all right?- I am.- Get on. LAUGHTER CONTINUES
0:20:56 > 0:20:57That wasn't exactly...
0:20:57 > 0:21:02That was not exactly the heroic landing I was hoping for. Thanks.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Sandy shorelines like these are absolutely perfect
0:21:07 > 0:21:10for holding prints from animals.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13But soft snow like this is even better.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20And that is about as perfect a print as you'll ever see.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22A big pad there,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24five discernible toes
0:21:24 > 0:21:27and you can even see the claw marks at the end.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30This is exactly the animal we're hoping to find.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Here they go, coming across here.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40You can see right down to the shoreline here.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45And look how deep this has sunk in.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47That's a very heavy animal.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50A brown or grizzly bear.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It's round here somewhere.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57The tracks continue on the other side around the shore.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00So that's where we're heading, too.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Grizzlies are top-of-the-food chain predators.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09But they can also make do with any food and prey they can find.
0:22:09 > 0:22:16Adaptable and incredibly strong, they stand up to eight feet high.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22These masters of land and water really are a must for the Deadly 60.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25All we have to do now is find one.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Ooh! Ooh, there! There!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Dead ahead of us!
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Look at that!
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Just wandering along the shoreline.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Oh, my goodness! Look at that!
0:22:47 > 0:22:49He's going right into the water!
0:22:50 > 0:22:53He's just... He's just caught a salmon!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55He just reached in and grabbed a salmon!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06This is absolutely wonderful.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Exactly the animal we were hoping to encounter here.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19We've cut the engine
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and we're gonna try and get closer by paddle power,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25just so that we can keep the noise level to a minimum,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28cos he's still just there just back from the shore.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34We're gonna be quite careful about how close we get into the side.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Bears are very, very strong swimmers.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42You see the salmon jumping there everywhere by the edge of the lake.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47At this time of year, when they have so much food available,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49he's quite unlikely to attack us
0:23:49 > 0:23:52unless he starts to feel that we're a threat to him.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56So I think it's important that we just go in carefully and cautiously.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Just feel our way around things.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Oh, look at that.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09He's come back to get the rest of his dinner.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21That is the perfect Alaskan wildlife experience.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26A brown bear coming right down to the shoreline to take salmon.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29And even though you can't see him right now,
0:24:29 > 0:24:33he is no more than a couple of metres back from the edge.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Anyone see him?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39No?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It never ceases to amaze me how an animal that size,
0:24:48 > 0:24:53which is obviously within metres of us, can just vanish.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58The way his colouration matches his environment is incredible.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01But he's there.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04And he knows we're here.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08He's watching us.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15He's just sat looking right at me.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30He's coming back down to the shore again. Look, here he comes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36He's just sniffing the air, just sussing us out.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41He's coming right down.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45And this is one of the largest carnivores in the world.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49'Our bear has a tracking device around his neck.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54'This doesn't mean he's a tame bear, but he's been caught at some stage.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57'And this collar allows scientists to keep track of his movements.'
0:25:59 > 0:26:03I reckon, at any second now, some very unlucky salmon
0:26:03 > 0:26:06is about to meet his end.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11What a privilege to be able to...
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- WATER SPLASHES - Oh, here he goes!
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Success? Did he catch one?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Is he gonna emerge with a fish in his mouth?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yes!
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Look at that!
0:26:25 > 0:26:28They are so efficient!
0:26:30 > 0:26:35Can you imagine a fisherman being able to,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38in the space of ten minutes,
0:26:38 > 0:26:42just jump into the water and catch three huge salmon?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45That's just incredible!
0:26:45 > 0:26:49They are utterly spectacular predators.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I don't believe it!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Adaptable and incredibly strong,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05they're also fish-catching champions.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Brown bear has got to go on the Deadly 60.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Join us next time on Deadly 60, where we're gonna be
0:27:15 > 0:27:18in an environment that could not be more different.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20HE LAUGHS
0:27:20 > 0:27:25That went right down the back of my neck!
0:27:25 > 0:27:29'Next time on the Deadly 60...' They're all going for me!
0:27:29 > 0:27:32This is the first I've ever seen!
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Listen to that rattle!
