Greatest Fights in the Animal World | Earth Unplugged

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the RuPt takes a heavy toll on the big balls so arriving now could give this young contender an edge [Music] but there's life in the old bull yet [Music] head-to-head the Challenger more than holds his own then he makes a small mistake shunted aside his challenge is brutally ending [Music] the young bull gambled everything and has paid a heavy price adult cheaters do sometimes kill young warthogs but the full-grown pigs are formidable with razor-sharp tusks and the muscle to back them up and that made me very nervous every time the Cubs went charging off after a warthog family I was worried sick that one of them would get into trouble by the time I was able to reach him the damage was already done he'd been called by the furious mother warthog and badly gored I had no way of knowing the full extent of the injuries only the talking was in a great deal of pain and absolutely terrified [Music] [Music] a direct kick from a zebra could easily crush their skull and my heart was in my throat every time they decided to take on the heavyweights [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] there were times when it felt just too close [Music] you may be fast on your feet got a lot to learn [Music] adult Harris may be easy to spot but they're far from easy to catch they run at 60 kilometres an hour [Music] to catch one the Wolves work as a team [Music] one of them gets close enough to fight the hares tail but a hair can change direction in an instant [Music] if it can continue to sidestep and it may ultimately outlast them [Music] finally it gets away [Music] for the next hair the whole pack gives chase [Music] now numbers count the lead wolves keep up the pace others run on either side so the hare can't change direction a tiny meal for the whole pack the male's entire harem is now at stake [Music] one bachelor makes his move the female spits her disapproval the male leaps into action [Music] using razor-sharp teeth he aims for his challengers testicles and emasculate a bite [Music] [Music] neck's are protected by special thickened skin these fights have no rules the battles are exhausting [Music] [Music] the Challenger is driven off his masculinity intact the male enjoys the rewards whilst he can the cups first steps outside the den she pushes the camera down the slope chuckling show as she films there is no human presence of any kind she even adjusts the camera to record her own exit blizzardcam is at the mercy of some very curious bears it could be about to film its own destruction [Music] but again a bear assists in the filming of its life story seal it with a kiss the couple's whirlwind romance will last three weeks as the Bears move up the coast snow cam is ready for action but the first bear it finds is an inquisitive young male like so many bears he finds the spy cams intriguing [Music] he subjects it to a pressure test using a technique that works well on ceilings it's no party is supposed to be indestructible but it's bundling on the oppression Swingtown films it's lost [Music] [Music]
