to find something to do
when you're by yourself.
He'll have to grow up and learn
how to make it on his own.
the mother and her cubs
one last time.
Maybe he's thinking
about his own family...
...and the joyful life
the three of them had.
One that he'll never
experience again.
He takes one last look
at the valley
of the winter in.
The one that probably
saved his life.
and goes beyond the valleys
and the snow-capped mountains
to roam the enormous
Kamchatka territory
and live out his bear destiny.
In the valley,
the big bear knows that
it's not time to leave yet.
However,
he's unaware of the fact
that his future, and the future
of the other bears,
is being determined
at that very moment
thousands of kilometres
away from Kamchatka.
There,
in the depths of the ocean,
the salmon of the Pacific
are waiting for a signal.
500 million salmon,
many of which were born
in the rivers of Kamchatka.
They've made it to the ocean
and have been growing
for four years,
feeding off of
the abundant food.
They have reached maturity.
They are now ready for the
long, 4,000-kilometre journey
to lay their eggs in the rivers
at the same place
where they were born.
How they find their way
in the huge ocean
remains a mystery.
But the survival of
all the bears from Kamchatka
depends upon that mystery.
The bears have suffered
through winter.
They have spent six to eight
months in their dens
without eating.
They have had only
herbs and roots to eat
for the past two months.
And now they have to wait
for the salmon
to swim thousands of kilometres
to get to the coast.
Another long month is spent
grazing and wandering
about Kamchatka.
The wait is long.
So long.
They're all watching the river,
waiting for the salmon,
waiting for the flutter
of a fin,
a sliver of silver reflection.
A body slithering
through the water.
Waiting for that first fish.
Hunger has made them irritable
and less tolerant than usual.
They have to be
in the best position
when the salmon arrive...
...at last.
for this moment-
the first fish of the year,
And soon
there will be even more.
Millions of salmon are just
not far at all.
They have one last hurdle -
to avoid the jaws
of the sea lions.
Most of them do survive
and regroup,
ready to begin
the last leg of their journey -
the rivers.
In the vast amount
of salt water,
they can detect the smallest
drop of fresh water
from the river
they were born in.
The odour has remained
mysteriously in their memory...
