Grizzly bears and wolves have been in conflict for territory and food sources ever since wolves were once again introduced to Yellowstone National Park. These little conflicts can either result in the wolves escaping to ғɪɢʜᴛ another day or the bear giving up his area after determining it was not worth the ғɪɢʜᴛ. Wolves were absent from the Yellowstone ecosystem for a while, therefore the ecosystem must adapt to their return.
The continuing, frequently violent game of interspecies chess played by the park’s wolves and bears is vividly depicted in an exciting video posted by Brushbuck Wildlife Tours. This meeting was unusual in part because bears in the Park are often hibernating at this time of year (the video was shot in December).
The wolves ᴋɪʟʟed an elk and then left the sᴄᴇɴᴇ. A grizzly bear was devouring the food when the pack quickly returned, which halted their progress. It leads to a heated confrontation. The bear is faster yet stronger. The wolves encircle the bear, staying just out of its line of sight.
The wolves slink away after a trying few minutes, not ready to put their lives at danger to protect their elk.
Let’s watch the video:
