Wolf & Grizzly Interaction Video

Wolf & Grizzly Interaction Video belongs to the following groups:

AMERICA's National Parks and WILDLIFE Habitat and Exotic Mammals

I saw this link over at NPN, and I thought some of the wildlife oriented folks, among other, might be interested. It’s from Glacier National Park

From that web site: A wolf feeds on a road-killed elk carcass in the morning. A grizzly bear with two cubs feeds on the carcass in the evening. A grizzly bear will chuff and pop its jaw when it feels threatened. Sometimes it will also charge at the threat, usually veering off or stopping short – a bluff charge. Early the next morning a grizzly bear with cubs chuffs and bluff charges a wolf. The wolf appears to be alone and, at times, postures as if it is playing. Video camera was triggered by a motion sensor (Make sure you have your sound on for this). August 10, 2007. Glacier National Park.

    Very interesting, surprised the sow was so tolerant of the wolf.

    I thought wolf would be on the menu very quickly

    Yeah, me too. I was also interested in how large the wold is compared to the sow. I’ve seen wolves up cloase and they just don’t seem that large.
