1
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,759
It is the largest wilderness in Europe.

2
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,439
Mountain ranges with mysterious
Rock formations.

3
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,359
Untamed rivers. Inaccessible
Forests to the horizon.

4
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,359
Habitat of wolf, wolverine -

5
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,999
- and brown bear.

6
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,799
Russia's border with Asia:
the Urals.

7
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,719
The extreme east of Europe,
still far behind Moscow:

8
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,759
From the arctic tundra to the
Steppes of Kazakhstan stretches -

9
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:15,439
- one over 2,000 kilometers
long mountain range.

10
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,799
The Urals are the dividing line
between two continents.

11
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,199
It divides Europe and Asia.

12
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,919
End of winter.

13
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,719
A very special animal hike
takes place every year in the Urals.

14
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,159
Moose on their way to
new sources of food.

15
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,319
The many rivers are dangerous
Obstacles for the giant deer.

16
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,279
Moose go on their migrations
often in groups.

17
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,599
Your path leads in autumn
mostly to the south.

18
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,039
But some moose are moving
also to the east.

19
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,599
In the snow-shadows of the mountains.

20
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,519
They are now returning in the spring.

21
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,759
A young moose is still strengthening itself.

22
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,359
The first moose pounce
courageously into the floods.

23
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,999
Moose are natural
excellent swimmers.

24
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:36,039
But the strong current
creates danger.

25
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,519
There are losses every year.

26
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,079
But cold and food shortages
require many more victims.

27
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,999
The moose therefore take the strain
again and again during the hike.

28
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,119
The young moose has now
eaten enough.

29
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,119
He hastily follows the family. He can
don't lose connection.

30
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,999
The other bank is
finally reached.

31
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,959
Moose lay on their migration
up to 300 kilometers back.

32
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,479
The plains and foothills
the Northern Urals.

33
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,079
This is where it begins: the taiga.

34
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,399
Spruce and pine trees dominate
the image of the coniferous forest -

35
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,039
- in the northern hemisphere.

36
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,999
Spring will be the taiga
and swamps soon finally -

37
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,199
- from "Father Frost"
have liberated.

38
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,479
The courtship display of the black grouse
is a first indication of this.

39
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:33,479
The magnificent male circles around
virtuoso the inconspicuous female.

40
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,919
Dozens of males often engage in courtship
at the same time in a kind of arena.

41
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,919
The rooster has no rivals here.

42
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,759
But another danger threatens.
A wolverine on the prowl.

43
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,279
He likes to eat chicken.

44
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,679
The glutton will be somewhere else
have to go hunting.

45
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,199
Spring can be
can't stop anymore.

46
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,799
Meltwater flows
in all directions.

47
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,679
It fills the rivers to the brim.

48
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,719
The first insects are crawling
from the crevices in the rocks.

49
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,959
Knight bugs are sunbathing
and begin mating.

50
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,439
You don't waste time.

51
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,079
Spring is short.

52
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:43,879
But they want to go through it in peace first
be convinced by a gentle pat.

53
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,519
The act of mating can
take up to 24 hours.

54
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:02,359
Then from each other again
Getting rid of it is not easy at all.

55
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,279
After the snow melts
the rivers of the Urals are raging torrents.

56
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,599
One last moose rushes out of his
wintering area.

57
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,919
Another river crossing,
and he's back in his territory.

58
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,599
It's dangerous. Meltwater makes
the current unpredictable.

59
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,919
Moose always drown,
when they are drifted from the shore.

60
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,439
It's the season of predators.
A she-wolf senses her chance.

61
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,159
The brown bear has a few days ago
overpowered a weakened moose.

62
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,519
He returns to the prey.

63
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,399
Bears bury the game they hunt.

64
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,599
To protect it from ravens, seagulls and
to hide from other food thieves.

65
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,279
The she-wolf now follows him
for quite a while now.

66
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,479
She hopes to finally be rewarded
to become.

67
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,159
The bear does the digging
of the carcass.

68
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,359
Finally something is revealed.

69
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,039
The she-wolf is on one
put to a tough test.

70
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,759
And... falls asleep.

71
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,759
Your male dog approaches cautiously.

72
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:02,359
With two people, the chances increase
to trick the bear.

73
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,559
But how will he react?

74
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,239
He shoos her away indignantly.

75
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,399
There is no sharing today.

76
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,239
The Ural basin
is a vast wilderness.

77
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,479
More than twice as big
like Germany.

78
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,719
There are endless forests here as well
huge moors and swamps.

79
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,519
End of April. Spawning time
the moor frogs.

80
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,679
The males now wear blue.

81
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,799
And they fight over the females.

82
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,999
A stranger in the moor frog pond.
This leads to confusion.

83
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,799
Male frogs jump into them
Everything that moves for weeks.

84
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,999
Also common toads.

85
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,919
The handsome brown bear man
just drinks.

86
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:47,959
But he doesn't eat anything.

87
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,359
And there is a reason for that.

88
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,879
He has just like the moor frogs
only one thing in mind.

89
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,559
Females willing to mate!

90
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,719
He wants offspring
put into the world.

91
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,799
He has to do it first
mate with the female a few times.

92
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,799
Only this suggestion will be included
trigger her to ovulate.

93
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,999
Things get serious after that.

94
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,639
They stay together for two weeks.
Before they go their separate ways again.

95
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,759
Something special is happening
when the egg is fertilized.

96
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,959
The germ pauses.

97
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,119
Until the beginning of winter rest.

98
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,799
The development is going
then move on quickly.

99
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:04,039
The boys are after 6 to 12
Born weeks in the winter cave.

100
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,799
Bear mating season
is a loud time.

101
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,679
The western slope of the
northern Ural Mountains.

102
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,719
The largest jungle area in Europe
extends here.

103
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,919
Its vein is the Pechora
with its many tributaries.

104
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,359
The river rises
high in the mountains.

105
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:46,039
In a mysterious place.

106
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,759
Manpupuner, the little mountain
of the gods.

107
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:57,919
The legend of the seven strong ones
Men entwine themselves around the rock pillars.

108
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,639
A bad, rich man wanted
marry her sister.

109
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,239
The beauty fled with hers
brothers in the mountains.

110
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,439
They resisted
against the persecutors.

111
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,239
The sister asked for a miracle.

112
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,559
Her and her brothers
turned into stones.

113
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,479
The enemies ran
in fear of it.

114
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,319
The beautiful one in front,
the eldest brother behind.

115
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,879
The six younger brothers
to the left.

116
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,559
stunted pines afford
the stones company.

117
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,039
Manpupuner: a natural wonder
with an eerie aura.

118
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,239
Especially at night.

119
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,959
It's the time of the hunters.

120
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,839
A Ural owl.

121
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,039
Frogs stand up
his menu.

122
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,919
The female owl has two young.

123
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,959
A lot to do for the parents.
The little ones are real gluttons.

124
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,119
A common frog will
devoured in one piece.

125
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,919
The cubs are five weeks old.

126
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,959
It's time to leave the nest.

127
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,319
They can't fly yet.

128
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,159
But the wings are
useful for climbing.

129
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,839
The young bird will be from now on
cared for outside the nest.

130
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,879
If he has a suitable branch
achieved.

131
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,799
First steps into a new world.

132
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,639
The headwaters of the Pechora
in the northern Urals.

133
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,959
You find an animal here,
which is almost extinct.

134
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,759
The European mink.

135
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,239
It's the beginning of June.
The female is pregnant.

136
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,319
It's high time for the litter cave
to pad out.

137
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,359
Something is brewing
up with the seven brothers.

138
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,999
Dramatic weather changes
are the order of the day here.

139
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,359
The rocks can withstand the rain.

140
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,879
Your quartzite slate is
poorly soluble.

141
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,559
All limestone in their surroundings
has long since been washed away.

142
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,479
The rain bothers him
Brown bears not very much.

143
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,799
A thick fur warms him.

144
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,799
The rain disappears so quickly
again, as he came.

145
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,519
The animals of the taiga
are used to it.

146
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,759
Also the Ural owl cub.

147
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,239
The mink female is
so far now.

148
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:35,559
Valuable offspring are born
and immediately cut off.

149
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,159
The female is exhausted.

150
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:04,559
It's not just a cub,
that's crawling in the fur.

151
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,559
A stranger, close to the cave.

152
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,759
This needs to be checked.

153
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,599
She had five young.

154
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,559
The little Ural owls are
now both flown out.

155
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:51,399
The vole we brought with us
is hastily choked down.

156
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,399
There must be three meals
per chick per day.

157
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,799
Plenty of work for the adult birds.

158
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,759
A great bull elk
smelled something.

159
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,439
A moose cow.

160
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,679
She probably isn't yet
interested in the male.

161
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,279
Rutting season and mating
are only in autumn.

162
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,559
She is not alone.

163
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,559
The mother suckles the calf
up to eight times a day.

164
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,839
That's three liters of moose milk.

165
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,159
It's enough for today.

166
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,599
The bull tastes the air.

167
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,319
The cow arouses his interest.

168
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,159
She prefers to devote herself
of personal care.

169
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,639
And gives him the cold shoulder.

170
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,439
The little one is already trying
Bark and lichens.

171
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,839
His later main diet.

172
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,959
Summer in the Urals.

173
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,919
A palmate rock called
Lyok-iz rises from the Llych River.

174
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,559
It is in a protected area.

175
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,039
It has belonged since 1995 -

176
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,399
- a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site
“Primeval forests of Komi”.

177
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,559
The mink mother has now
hardly a quiet minute left.

178
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,719
She has to hunt for her
to provide for boys.

179
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,359
The little ones are now
about five weeks old.

180
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,919
Your eyes are already open.

181
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,559
They eagerly await
her mother with the loot.

182
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,119
The roach comes with
paralyzed by a bite.

183
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,279
And initially “parked”.

184
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,759
Minks used to be because of
their furs decimated.

185
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,279
An American cousin threatens
the European mink today.

186
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,479
The Mink is used for "mink" coats
kept in masses everywhere.

187
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,559
Displacing caged refugees
now the local species.

188
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,119
Minks will too
Called "swamp otter".

189
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,559
They don't have it
every dive success.

190
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,479
That's why a fish has to come first
enough for the offspring.

191
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,439
(The mink mother whistles)

192
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,279
Under a root
on the same stream:

193
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:03,159
A glutton has here
his food depot.

194
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:05,399
A reindeer remains lies in front of it.

195
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,799
The unlucky jay takes the chance
and looks into the hiding place.

196
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,759
Hard food?

197
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,399
No problem for the glutton.

198
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,519
His strong jaws
crack everything.

199
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,239
He can even digest bones.

200
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,319
The female mink
doesn't come to rest.

201
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,599
Fish or milk? Doesn't matter!

202
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,239
The main thing is food!

203
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,439
(The boys squeal)

204
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:57,479
A cub runs away while
the others are still being suckled.

205
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,879
That's without the protection
very dangerous for the mother.

206
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,279
She stimulates by licking
the digestion of the young.

207
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,919
She then notices the loss.

208
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,799
It looks like there are already
previously boy disappeared.

209
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,599
In any case, they are just
two more under construction.

210
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,559
(The cub squeals)

211
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:39,159
Everything becomes clear.
The mother is moving.

212
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,879
She wants to go to another cave
move.

213
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,359
The little one should follow her.

214
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,759
Pure precaution!

215
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,439
At the top of the small mountain
of the gods:

216
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,359
The rocks defy the weather
as it has been for thousands of years.

217
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,959
The bizarre stone blocks rise up
up to 50 meters into the evening sky.

218
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,959
Late summer in the southern Urals.

219
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,959
Belaya, the white river.

220
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,839
In the “Shulgan-Tash” protected area.

221
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,479
It was founded in 1986.

222
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,359
An animal is supposed to be here
be preserved.

223
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,119
It's at first glance
rather inconspicuous.

224
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,759
It is a rare wild bee.

225
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,559
Akhtyam and Anis know this
Reserve since its inception.

226
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,559
They take care of things on behalf of you
the park administration about the bees.

227
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,359
Dealing with wild bees
has a tradition here.

228
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:46,959
The two of them take care of 40 beehives
the rare Burzyan honey bee.

229
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,159
She lives only in the Urals.

230
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,399
Breeding aids are hollow trunks
with "runway".

231
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,359
They are in pine trees
or hung on linden trees.

232
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,079
A brown bear marks its territory.

233
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,559
He rubs his fur for it
against the tree.

234
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,599
He loses hair in the process
between the bark.

235
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,839
He was here.

236
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,399
Other bears will
now find out.

237
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,879
So this is “his” hive.

238
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,759
But it's too heavy
to climb up.

239
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:07,119
The bee protectors usually get along
Families with a long beekeeping tradition.

240
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:14,119
Akhtyam has the knowledge to do this
learned from his father.

241
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,519
The beehives are lying
very remote.

242
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,919
And often miles apart.

243
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,759
Akhtyam and anise are
sometimes traveling for days.

244
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,719
A bear with her cubs.

245
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,279
You can smell it
don't resist.

246
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,199
Dangerous, in the male's territory.

247
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,959
Climbing is easy for the boys.

248
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,719
They're up there
safe from attacks.

249
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,279
But danger now threatens from above.
The stick weighs 200 kilos.

250
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,959
He could hit the bear
fall down.

251
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,799
This can have bad consequences.

252
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,559
Bear cubs are playful
and curious.

253
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,199
Like all animal children.

254
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,399
But on top of the hive
to sit:

255
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,039
That's pretty daring.

256
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,719
Someone else can be happy.

257
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,559
The male bear.

258
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,039
The bees are not happy
about the new situation.

259
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,879
The bear approaches the angry one
Bee colony therefore with respect.

260
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,759
But the honey is too tempting.

261
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,919
The receipt follows immediately.

262
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,759
Or, even more painful,
on the sensitive bear nose.

263
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,519
Akhtyam and anise have
reached their goal straight away.

264
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,359
But what will they find?

265
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,599
The most remote tree with a colony of bees
stands at the edge of the forest.

266
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,399
The bears weren't here yet.

267
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,399
A Bashkir beekeeper
Must be able to climb.

268
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,319
The two brothers begin
with the annual harvest.

269
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,959
You will find yourself stick by stick
work back to the village.

270
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,599
The sale of the honey finances it
the protection of bees.

271
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,199
Smoke is said to be ready to sting
of bees.

272
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,239
That doesn't calm them down.

273
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,559
Akhtyam needs that
his beekeeper hat urgently.

274
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,279
Things are about to get very wild.

275
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,559
The background of the smoke trick:

276
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,199
A forest fire is simulated.

277
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,639
And stabbing doesn't help with fire.

278
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,079
The two are hoping for 10 results
15 kilograms of honey per tree.

279
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,799
The golden honey
the Burzyan bees.

280
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,959
He achieves top prices in Moscow
of 21O euros per kilogram.

281
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,399
The bees endure bitter cold.

282
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,399
And they are very productive.

283
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:59,399
They pick up in the 2 to 3 weeks
the optimum of the lime blossom.

284
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,559
But not the brothers.

285
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:08,719
They give the bees enough
Honey for the coming winter.

286
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,519
Happy ending. At least for the bears.

287
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,159
The family is not that sensitive
like the male bear.

288
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,919
She will have plenty of honey and before
everything the larvae can harvest.

289
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,599
A bitter loss
for akhtyam and aniseed.

290
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:52,519
But as rangers they are too
to protect the bears.

291
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:01,839
Shulgan Tash is a paradise.

292
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,399
Not just for bees.

293
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,439
A pygmy owl says goodnight.

294
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,079
(He whistles)

295
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,359
The landscape of the Southern Urals -

296
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,959
- will be over long distances
characterized by huge birch forests.

297
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,679
Silver birches and downy birches.

298
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,319
In between there are always aspen trees.

299
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,399
The birches stand out above all
in depressions and swamps, -

300
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,159
- the river terraces and flats
Mountain slopes close together.

301
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,119
Further east it then begins:

302
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,719
The Siberian steppe.

303
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,639
The border between Europe and
Asia is clearly visible.

304
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:26,439
The southeastern foothills
of the Urals show both faces:

305
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:34,359
In the west there are still densely forested areas
European taiga.

306
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,959
In the east there is Asian mountain steppe.

307
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,239
The vegetation changes
suddenly.

308
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,359
Thistles dominate the picture.

309
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,839
Autumn in the Southern Urals.

310
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:21,359
Lose maple, linden and birch
now their golden leaves.

311
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,479
It is the time of the elk rut.

312
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:40,879
(The moose calls)

313
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,599
A 4 year old bull
with pole antlers.

314
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,839
He ventures too close
to an older bull.

315
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,119
His canter jump has an effect.

316
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,719
Fights between moose
are rarely observed.

317
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,799
The threat is often enough.

318
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,799
The Asian part of the South Urals.

319
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:26,239
Here in the Ural River area
lives a particularly strange animal.

320
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,439
Almost a mythical creature.

321
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,119
The Russian Desman.

322
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,519
The water mole is sociable.

323
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:47,239
And it inhabits burrows on the banks.

324
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,799
The entrance is underwater.

325
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,279
Desmane are like all moles
almost blind.

326
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,079
The whiskers on the trunk snout
point out.

327
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,479
Your eyes are atrophied.

328
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,359
But they can dive well.

329
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,039
Russian desmans are only alive
in the catchment area -

330
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,119
- from Volga, Don and the Urals.

331
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,239
In the Urals there are only 2OO animals.

332
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,879
They are short here
before extinction.

333
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,239
The majority of the 25,000 copies -

334
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,279
- lives in the Eastern European Plain
around the Volga.

335
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,679
The Desman will too
Called “muskrat weevil”.

336
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,679
He digs through the underground
for insects and crabs.

337
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,119
But he also captures
Fish and amphibians.

338
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,759
Or snails.

339
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,519
He has 2 oversized,
upper incisors.

340
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:54,319
He uses it to crack their shell.

341
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,039
The Desmane were on the water
and successful on land.

342
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:12,159
He gets the ramshorn snail
literally melts on your lips.

343
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,519
The other hopes
that he gets something.

344
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,839
These are the first in the world
Film footage of Russian Desmane.

345
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,159
Both return strengthened
back to their burrow.

346
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,839
A nest made of moss
waits at the end of the hallway.

347
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,639
The first snow of the year.

348
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:58,519
The moose will soon be migrating again
have to to find food.

349
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,519
(popping sound)

350
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,399
Sudden cold snap
to below -30 degrees Celsius.

351
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,079
This causes the trees to burst.

352
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:23,999
A rare nature radio play.

353
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:27,239
(popping sound)

354
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,039
The moose get into an argument.

355
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,559
A kick with the sharp hooves
is extremely painful.

356
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,079
Food is scarce now.

357
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,159
Two more opponents
threaten each other.

358
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,919
The dispute does not go unnoticed.

359
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:33,839
The strong onset of winter
surprised the bear.

360
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:39,359
Now capture another moose,
before he looks for a cave?

361
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,679
Pointless.

362
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:56,759
Moose reach with their long ones
feet on solid ground in the snow.

363
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,999
You're doing so much better
as the short-legged bear.

364
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:17,719
There are over a dozen moose
came together for their hike.

365
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,599
The bear won't
captured by them.

366
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,279
He is in this season
too cumbersome.

367
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,359
Snow and cold will be 7 months
dominate the country.

368
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,799
The rivers will not flow until April
thaw again.

369
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,639
The taiga will then
start singing again.

370
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,839
Then she will awaken:
