Скачать или смотреть Yellowstone grizzly 791 defends elk kill from grey wolf

The famous bear 791 has been milking the spotlight this week. After a viral video of him taking down a 6-6 bull elk in the Yellowstone River, he has sun bathed for the last 5 days to the view of hundreds of photographers and tourists.

I was very fortunate on this particularly morning for several reasons. The first being that the weather wasn’t terribly cold (about freezing), we had a gorgeous sunrise, the river fog was light and low unlike the day before when it didn’t clear until late morning), and of course, because we had a close encounter with a grey wolf.

The wolf was alone and therefore not much of a threat to the massive grizzly. It was more of a game to him to see how close the dominating bear would let him get to his kill. To my surprise, as proven by this video, he let him get very close. The wolf would slowly approach, the bear would make a slight shift in position, and the wolf would back off for awhile. This cycle occurred 4 times in my watching.
