Grizzly Bear vs wolves at Yellowstone

A grizzly came and snatched the wolves' kill, a bull elk. The bear now has to keep the wolves, and ravens, away from its food source. I shot this video with a zoom from across the lake along with several other photographers and a few park rangers.

KUDO'S on this great footage!

Wolves are very difficult to film this close because of their fear & shyness towards humans. May I ask how close were you to the action? Damn, I envy you. Keep 'em coming, Thanks!

We were across the water in the foreground, a small lake I think about 500 yds. We were accompanied by quite a few rangers who were also excited to see the bear and wolves together. It was October, the only people left in the park were photographers and hard core wildlife watchers. I sat on a log for nine hours, stopping only once with my daughter to eat lunch and use facilities. There were only about 20 people watching, it was great.

North Twin Lake on October 19,2008? If so, check out my videos of the bear coming towards the carcass and of the bear arriving at the scene! :) Nice footage!

You guessed it! We've been watching the "saga" for four days. I like your video of the bear dragging the elk, I missed that moment. As of this afternoon, the wolves are gone, the carcass can't be seen, (not even the antlers), and the bear has been slowly moving up the hill, sleeping both times we checked on it today.

Great footage. I loved it when the ber took a water break and came back to the wolves poking around the body.

Exactly. Wolves stamina allow them to fight for hours backing and biting, but they need enough space for that strategy.

great footage.....thats a good sizes grizzly, i think if it were open ground the wolves would have tried to harrass the bear away, this was nice to see, must have took much patience to capture all this on film, nice job !

lol. Wolf Quest. XDD I hate it when that happens.

The bear was lucky that there was so many fallen trees around so the wolves couldn't surround him, harrass him, and push him off.

Wow! The bear is still there!? I'm back home now; good luck spotting more wildlife up in Yellowstone. Post more videos, I'd love to see them! :)
