Shame about the ice age (70s) no wait, global warming (90s) no wait, climate change (present day) propaganda with the polar bears though. Nuff said. Fantastic compilation.

I was halfway through it and it turned into the previews only instead of all the shows. What happened to the full documentary?

The language, the scenes, the music selection - all superb. A spectacle of epic proportions in itself. Aside from the insisting invitation to "date pretty chinese girl" somewhere in the left corner, and an occasional episode skippage, this has been a fantastic viewing experience! Loving it!

So, if new habitats form animals will rapidly adapt to make use of it, however in todays world humans will most probably fill any niche that forms far quicker than any animal can. Also, creatures that are more specialized adapt less quickly. So where grizzlies or other 'normal' bears have a very broad diet and make use of almost anything nature offers then, from meat and fish to roots and grass, and as such would be quite quick to fill the niches that formed when the north grew colder, they have since become highly specialized polar bears, and would have a much harder time changing back.

And yes, evidence does show that the polar bears evolved their signature marine lifestyle relatively swiftly during the onset of an ice age, but that's "swiftly" relative to the pace of evolution - it took tens of thousands of years to turn a forest-dwelling black bear into an ice-navigating polar bear.Hypothetically the polar bears could adapt to a warming climate, but only if they have the time to do so. At the current rate, most of their sea-ice feeding grounds will be gone within a hundred years. There's just no way for a creature with the polar bear's long life span and low reproductive rate to adopt a completely new lifestyle within only a handful of generations. @C_and_N

The arctic was never tropical, but it has had periods of warming and cooling. And yes, evidence does show that the polar bears evolved their signature marine lifestyle relatively swiftly during the onset of an ice age, but that’s “swiftly” relative to the pace of evolution – it took tens of thousands of years to turn a forest-dwelling black bear into an ice-navigating polar bear.

Hypothetically the polar bears could adapt to a warming climate, but only if they have the time to do so. At the current rate, most of their sea-ice feeding grounds will be gone within a hundred years. There’s just no way for a creature with the polar bear’s long life span and low reproductive rate to adopt a completely new lifestyle within only a handful of generations.

Where were the polar bears then? If the Arctic warms again, wouldn't you think they could adapt again? That was very good.

As such it should be enjoyed in far greater quality than here.

Its so much better on Google! I know for others it may work fine, but watching in full view on youtube going to clip to clip is not always a seamless process. If any one who uploads docs reads this... please consider google video next time ;P Thanks for posting the video, but can I just say I hate youtube loaded clips. Its so much better on Google!
