uh, a year ago i thought i would never trust anyone in my life. no man will come near. here's a meter. no, approach very strict controls. you will double-check him, i will double-check his every step, most likely, not all men will be ready for this. hmm, not everyone will agree, it's just difficult, but it is. that's how my life turned out, unfortunately. beautiful while you are now in a relationship or so to speak in a mink? no, i'm not in a mink, well, that is, i'm more in the relationship of breakfasts, lunches and dinners. here so in the movie walks somehow. that's how wary i am. yes. i slightly warned

your man about this, that you know that i was not a very pleasant story. the fact is that he himself learned about this story. uh, practically there on the second or third day. yeah he told me. i'm here. uh, he just gave me some quote during the conversation. hmm quite enjoyable from this article. i realized that denying is useless. uh-huh well, he said, of course it's monstrous that in general, how could you, how could you do so more we didn't discuss anything about it. she cinema breakfasts and dinners are paid. he is phew! arctic inhabitants of the vast territories

located north of the arctic circle must be strong hardy and very patient. only with these qualities can one survive, where all year round there is only snow and ice. russia owns the largest and perhaps the least explored part of this almost deserted region. the russian arctic stretches for 6 thousand kilometers from the border with norway to alaska, endless ice deserts and individual islands of novaya zemlya

taimyr wrangel island in march , ice breaks on the white sea in the west of the russian arctic. thousands of seals gather here just to give birth to offspring. the mother seal carefully ensures that there is always a free polynya next to her cub, then she will be able to look after him. seal cubs weigh only 10 kg at birth, 10 times

less than their mother. at first, they not only eat and sleep, they need to grow as quickly as possible, because their mother will only feed them with milk for 12 days, then their cubs are also called pups, but they will remain on the ice. only after the seals change their baby white skin for adult dark fur, they will be able to go to sea on their own. but for now, they are snow-white and very touching, looking forward to when their mother feeds them again. she does this seven times a day. seal milk one of the most nutritious in it 42%

fat and babies gain weight very quickly, 2 kg per day. when the mother stops feeding them, they already weigh 35 kg and are almost ready to be on their own. life. trying to attract attention approaching the time of mating. but the female does not even turn her head to the side. maybe this trick will impress her. he is very persistent. but the female does

n't seem to be in the mood yet. after the mother stops feeding the cub, he will not see her again. the main thing is to gain weight before diving into the icy water. polar bears almost never enter this region; the largest predators on earth prefer the shores and ice of other seas of the arctic ocean. it's easier for them there. find subsistence. here is the bear wandering on the ice with her already grown cubs. they have little chance of meeting their relatives here at this time of the year, the ice fields of the arctic seas stretch for hundreds of

kilometers, but very soon the ice will begin to melt and these owners of the arctic will have to return to the mainland as a polar bear. mid-may, northern yakutia, one of the rarest birds on earth, the snowy crane, begins to build nests here already in winter. or sterkh there are very few of them left , maybe 3,000. outside the russian north you can see, probably, only in zoos and even in yakutia, snowy cranes prefer to settle in the most deserted and hard-to-reach areas of the russian arctic tundra, the birds react very nervously to any attempt to approach them. therefore, such video filming is of particular value.

wrangel island is located on the very border of the western and eastern hemispheres. for 10 months a year, it is surrounded by ice fields and rearing cables from here, very close to american alaska. every year in may, flocks of whites fly to the island. geese. they return after wintering in north america in the tundra river valley. it is in the very center of the island that a huge and very noisy goose colony of more than 50,000 geese arises. here they are already impatiently waiting for the arctic fox, starved for the winter. but geese are always ready to defend themselves. the may sun is already hot, but the usual nesting places of white geese are still covered with snow , you have to be patient to wait until it finally melts. every day more and more

snow-free space. and that means more food. after a long flight, the geese are exhausted, they need to restore their strength as quickly as possible in order to bring out the chicks and put them on the wing during the short arctic summer. in the russian arctic, winter never goes away for long, the polar air masses are constantly moving and the weather changes very quickly. at the end of may, the temperature can drop to -10 degrees? the scribe at such a temperature feels great ; he is protected by thick winter. fur. animals that died from cold and hunger often become its prey.

white geese can live for several days without food. they save energy exactly as their neighbors gulls skuas. but the sudden return of winter is not so painful for everyone. sheep bulls are not afraid of the most severe cold weather. they spend the whole winter on wrangel island, unlike migratory birds, and do not feel comfortable even at a temperature of -40 °. sheep bulls were once widespread in the russian artik, but gradually died out in the seventies of the last century. they were brought here again from the island. well, nevak in alaska, they took root well and began to multiply suddenly. returned cold, has been holding for a week, especially difficult for birds in cold weather. they can not find food. closely, clinging to each other

, birds with a funny name are trying to keep warm and protect themselves from the icy wind . unfortunately, not everyone manages to survive bad weather. finally, the cold recedes. by the warm rays of the sun, the snow melts and melt water fills everything around. high water in the tundra for a short time all rivers overflow their banks. the arctic white geese colony can no longer worry about food. but you still can’t relax, the valley crosses

the wolf, it seems, is not particularly interested in geese, but the birds are worried. they're just chasing him really at a safe distance. the uninvited guest eventually leaves. however, the goose colony must always be on the alert for their main enemy. the arctic fox daily walks near the nesting place. the geese know very well that while the female is hatching the chicks, the male, with a belligerent look, walks nearby, the arctic fox does not dare to fight with him. wrapped cold weather, many birds

had to abandon their clutches. left without looking after bird eggs are easy prey for the polar fox, there are even more of them than he can eat at one time , he will hide part of the prey for the future. the arctic fox has hundreds of such pantries, bird eggs can be stored for months in the frozen ground of the tundra. soon there will not be a single egg left in the nests abandoned by the birds, pizza again has to go hunting. here he tests the geese for strength, provokes them if they falter a little, the scribe immediately rushes to the attack.

the case is made to carry away only one egg, but he remembers the location of the nest. and next time he attacks immediately. the gander can't defend his nest, the scribe takes one egg after another , only one left so far.

the end of june in the arctic, summer has finally come. the tundra blooms magician triad smolyovka pleases the eye for a very short time, therefore, they are awaited with such impatience.

the mating season is in full swing and the tules birds are in full swing and the hague is enjoying warm days. the air temperature rarely rises above zero, sleet at this time is not uncommon and the animals have long been accustomed to this. but this time the real one starts snowfall. a few hours later it's hard to believe that all this is happening in the summer. gaga cannot even move, so as not to destroy future offspring. the return

of winter was not part of her plans. even musk oxen suffer from bad weather, they are not afraid of the cold. but wet snow instantly impregnates their wool. a small herd of these animals, led by an old bull, is clearly nervous as an uninvited guest approaches them. lowering his head, the leader assumes a warlike pose; the rivals demonstrate their power to each other.

the stranger even risks approaching the female. she sniffs him benevolently, but things don't go any further. it's too early for mating time ; that's enough for a stranger. will have to leave. the real tournament fights of the sheep bulls will begin in a few months during the rut. the july sun is hot

the land of wrangel island, freed from snow, opens its treasures the remains of mammoths, these ancient giants lived here only 3,500 years ago, when in all other regions, including siberia, they had long ago disappeared. these remains are perfectly preserved in the permafrost. this tusk is only 4,000 years old. but some contemporaries of the mammoths, such as reindeer, managed to survive to this day. the arctic has the largest population of reindeer. there are at least a million of these animals on the taimyr peninsula. herds of deer follow their usual routes from one pasture to another

now, just through our colony of white geese , there will be no particular damage from them. but the geese are still worried. they have offspring. first, hatched chicks can already leave the nest together with their parents in a few hours, but you have to wait for the rest. this is a very dangerous time for helpless babies. if a fox approaches the nest, what is the safest place under the mother's wing? this time the arctic fox does not even pay attention to the geese in the dense thickets of dwarf willow. he noticed something much more

attractive. this lemming is a very appetizing prey for the arctic fox, it seems to the birds that you can relax. but for a short time, another predator appears. wolverine goose i can handle fortunately, wolverine does not touch the chicks with this large animal, being content with one egg. for young geese this is the last opportunity to get strength before a long journey with their parents. they will soon go to the tundra. there are large lakes where you can find shelter and food. the way

there is long and tiring, some flocks cover a distance of 70 km in any weather. july is the warmest month in the arctic lowland tundra at this time there is food for everyone, not only for geese. these arctic foxes living in the mountains have only two cubs and for his age. they are too small. the fact is that this year there are almost no lemmings here.

the mother rarely visits her babies and almost never brings them food; their prospects are not good. on the plain, things are much better than the cubs. here , weight gain is fast. they have an additional food source, young geese. in the early morning, the kids go hunting. everyone wants to be first.

while the two are fighting, the third is not wasting his time. the tenth was well-reinforced, their chances of survival increased substantially. snowy or snowy owl rarely hunts geese. she also prefers lemmings. the little councils are very hungry, but this time the mother did not bring them anything either. in years when there are few lemmings in the tundra, many owls do not lay eggs at all in this

nest, only two owlets. although it usually happens at least ten. one of them is much weaker than the other and much smaller. mother goes hunting. even a subtle movement on the opposite slope will not hide from her. but lemming saw the predator too late. the owl attacks. the chicks are hungry this time luck is on the side of the owl. she returns to her nest with prey.

the stronger chick gets the most tasty morsel, the other chick barely moves. the mother is still trying to feed the baby. in vain, he had no strength left. and the second chick is too hungry. now no one will help the baby.

taste left only one chick. but it wo n't be easy to feed him. the arctic coast is a paradise for many representatives of the marine fauna, including the very rare gray whale shallow water actively hunts for crabs. beluga whale or white whale is a mammal of the dolphin family in summer belukha travels thousands of kilometers along the coast of the arctic in pursuit of fish, often enters large rivers, sometimes traveling far upstream, beluga whales usually travel in small groups, consisting of one to three females and their cubs

of different ages in in this group, one cub is only a few hours old, and he prefers to stay close to his mother. this makes sailing much easier. the generous sea also feeds the birds they nest in huge colonies on the rocky coast in this harsh arctic climate , one species of thick-billed guillemots feels most comfortable. in their nests on the rocks, the chicks are well protected from bad weather and other unpleasant surprises. however, it

happens well that the shower is nearby. the north requires seabirds to have the strength of endurance. even in summer, the wind can push pack ice to the shore, and this waterfall can turn into ice in a matter of an instant. nests of sinks turn into ice palaces. the guillemot chicks left their nests on the rocks, as a rule, it is not important to jump directly into the water. but this year, the pack ice blocks their way to the chicks, it is imperative to get into the open sea so that the parents can feed

them for some more time. the arctic fox, which deftly jumps from one ice floe to another, has a good chance to get food for itself. but fortunately for the chicks, arctic foxes are afraid of water. the open sea is still far away. the scribe cannot reach the chick. and the ice bath is not to his taste at all.
