grizzly bears fighting wolves in the wild [full wildlife documentary]
in the sweeping wilderness in yellowstone the grisly
once ruled alone that
are matched in size and strength no creature could challenge the mighty bear
then came the return
up a formidable rival yield
on
tall rangy rules from the north now stake their claim
to yellowstone on
and somewhere in the backcountry on a big battle
on phones
it's a clash that echoes all through Yellowstone
the
the
in the cauldron of this wilderness so still looms
will moons be the new masters at yellowstone
ok and the grisly keep its Kingdom
and emerged the victor
on
on
it's spring in the northwest corner of Wyoming
to the year is about to begin for the Grizzlies have yellowstone

by early March bears begin to emerge from a long winter's nap
Laurel
old
problem
they may not a beat nothing and with snow still deep
a female and three cubs search for a winter kill
up autres have been out all winter
slipping and sliding between streams looking for patches a
open water
they're kept under close watch by a coyote he's on a constant search for
food
this is a world of creditors scavengers
and opportunists in the thawing surface layer a vice
the Grizzlies find a strange windfall entombed
in the ice all winter frozen fish other first bank within the year
for the best up
who
while the Bears search for another easy meal the rules at the Hayden back
gather to feast on the rewards and their own hard work
Laurel
herds
but a bold young bear has found a carcass
and a grisly is accustomed to taking
what he wants the whole
that
ok
go ahead and wolves size up the situation
the back is nine cool strong and this
is not the largest at that
I'm
he's trying to bury the carcass and defend it from the center
his earthworks
all the
on
pool room
for it's his strike against their speed
led the Wolves seem to think they can take him
I'm
up
the Haydens proved to be more than the young bear can handle
this time up
crap
or or bears
all wolves it makes no difference to the Ravens
them they always make their point
but managed to stay above the competition
and
on bison will face both wolves and bears
over the course of their lives but the first challenge for newborn cards
is just keeping up with their mothers they're on their way to summer pastures
and for the Cubs it's sink or swim
instinctively the cards seek shelter next to their mothers
but the waters on holding fast too fast for the tiny cars
one has been swept into a logjam and is in real trouble
room
his mother has suddenly realize what's happening
on
the car's brakes free but is not out of danger
ok carbs often lose their mothers during river crossings
and without a he can survive
on
this kind of is a lucky one on
be safe there on turning exhausted
on
the Yellowstone River was just one of the first of many perils to calm
a grisly is following behind them and for the bad
old it's hunting season mom

yellowstone's 3,500 bison are the largest free-ranging bison herd in the
world
as they gather on the green meadows and Hayden Valley
the old frontier looks very much alive
it's a scene
10 grizzly has witnessed many times this rugged veteran
as Rome yellowstone for almost 20 years long before wolves were brought back to
the park
he is bad number 211
known to bear watchers as Scarface
in his youth he hunted bison
in this great valley now he leave such high risk work
to a younger generation
the better has no advantage of surprise yet he suddenly swings into action
them them
but
no
the chase is just youthful exuberance there's not much hope of success I'm
on
the world
the bear will need a better strategy bombs
but a truly devious plan is a coyote specialities im
he's so small no one takes him seriously
ok means he tests a car of
this one's big and strong on
East then
he finds a smaller palm
on just
the
do
he pretends to playing but this is no game
dome
if the community can coax the car of off by itself
he has every intention of killing it I'm
the just one bite
could cripple the comp time

home the another grizzly
is on the common grounds
and this one has perfected his craft I'm
the
the grisly uses his top speed of 56 kilometers per hour
two separate account of from its mother I'm
and though the Bison weighs twice as much as the bad sheezy on
and undone by the Grizzlies aggression line
she has attacked and accomplish lost
yes
served
for hunters and Hunter the like each encounter in yellowstone
presents a critical choice
what is brave one moment is foolish for the next
see to fight
or to flee
all love life hangs on the decision
ok
with two wolves out on the prowl a mother elk
ways %uh options carefully
the wolves have seen her but not have come off
it's too young to outrun the walls it's only defense
is to hide and keep completely still
its mother head straight for the walls
her purpose is to distract them
to keep their attention tightly on her all
the again and again she charges
then invites them to chase her using the river
as a safe retrieved
she can play this game against two walls but she would never attempt this with an
entire Wolfpack
frustrated the Wolves give up
but come off own sex life to the tactics
and the courage of its mother no
on
it
the
motherhood even for a grizzly bear is a test of character
its June and a spring snow school
has kicked up but the bear and her cub a confronting more than just the weather
the
little wolves from the druid pack
have called them out in the open
burn in the tug-of-war between Grizzlies and rules
the rules attack where they can they
are after the car
if they can kill it they will eliminate a future rival
world
little it
she's not a big Daddy
but she stands her ground the rules won't risk an injury it
home
suddenly
it's over
the Wolves make a decision and the Bears
are free to go of
as the two dominant predators in yellowstone Grizzlies in rules
made life hard for each other the cob
is vulnerable to the rules now that he survives to become a really big bear
the tables will turn the

for Grizzlies these are the days of family life
mile spent two and a half years under the constant care of their mother
use then becomes will be big enough to go their separate ways
and travel through Yellowstone alarming
until then she is everything they need
means ok
a wolf's lifestyle
couldn't be more different wolf pups are used to large families
there are five pops in the average litter
at one month old they begin to venture away from the damn
their mother
is the alpha female the White Wolf with the research Cana
but they have other guardians to
older brothers and sisters aunts and uncles
a member of the family is always in attendance
when the pups grow up
many will disperse to other pacs looking for a place to belong
wools will always be drawn into each other's company
I'm
I'm a grisly ambles along a trail
on his solitary way a bomb death
old its old scarface
ok
for he probably means the Pops no harm done
but he's come far too close for the rules comfort
the adults treat him
as a serious threat level
the morning
cool
world
it's the pups first encounter with the bad times
and their elders have shown them something valuable from
together they can challenge a grizzly and
defeat it
as for Scarface he hasn't lived this long without knowing how to avoid
real conflict
up by the end of June
the high country is bright with Comac
some residents are setting up they're claiming territory
building homes
finding partners
even Grizzlies get caught up in the social scene
it's the mating season
a courting couple could be mistaken for youngsters playing ok
but the Grizzlies this is romance
on once she has accepted him
they will wrestle and play and made many times
staying together for 10 days some signs
but their devotion movie three teams
enduring bonds are not in their nature
on yet while it lasts they share a moment of tenderness

Road for the Grizzlies
this year's battle for Yellowstone is coming to a close
it's beginning to snow
one by one
the Bears retreat to their dens winter
settles in
the snow brings elk down from the high country to wintering grounds in the
valleys
the new and wherever the Elko
the new rules for life
winter is the season when Williams
are riding high
ok
severe conditions always work in their favor
wearing down their prey the deeper the snow
the better hunting here
no bears will contest the carcass
but many other scavengers gather at the feast
up
text Eagles
Ravens Magallanes and coyotes
are uninvited guests at every kill the wolves have the undisputed up-and-up
they make the long winter easier all these other carnivals
as long as the elk
the Wolves will provide just but do these hungry scavengers steel so much
meat
that they may be one reason why the walls form packs
to protect their own share of the killer
on
on
come February we'll scope visiting PAC Tupac
now is their season courting
meeting if a stranger comes calling
yearling females and parks come out
to greet him
ok
you please the mall he can but what he's really after
is a willing partner and a private rendezvous
yet even the most intimate moment often requires the pacs approval
ok
the Alpha path that leads the pack may share a bomb that lasts for life
but all this togetherness comes down to just one thing
wolves need each other
rules are accustomed to working year-round
and feeding many mouths but come the end of winter
it can take the abilities of a bear to get the job done
as the ice begins to thaw a frozen pond
becomes treacherous solid one moment
soft the next a wolf
has discovered its most recent victim the Wolves way about 45 kilos
and cannot trust the ice to hold them they can see the carcass
and would take the handout but it just
isn't worth the risk as the pond continues to free use them for
coyotes venture onto the ice at 14 kilos
they are light enough to cross it but not strong enough to move the carcass
II I
bust
if the ice melts much more
they won't be able to reach the carcass at all
for once a grisly fresh from his den arrives
as something other hero
he's certain to fall through group
but his massive strength will come to the rescue home
them
home
little
it's only when his coat is soaking wet but you can see how thin here's
and why this carcass is worth so much effort
ok
as the bear reaches shore with the prize ok
even the Ravens can appreciate his labors and
will be bones for the Coyotes after all or
and the I'm
the moon
the
the door Sams and beury's smoke
through the remains of a forest fire the its moisture
vaporizing from the blackened trunks the man as they warm up in the Sun
of though the fire killed the trees
a wild gardens springs up at their chart feet
rich with minerals from the ash was Lee's
seek out this fresh nutritious salad
a great gray owl
does use at the edge of a burn he's been up all night
hunting couch but a Robin
as a national by the new
in yellow statute conflicts conflict not been any corner
the man who
until the Al leaves the will be no arrest
for I drove them well which a grisly has come to the recovering burn
to feast on Daisy's astor's fireweed
and cow parsnip teaching her yearly income
but this is a good place to forage account has to learn a great variety of
plants
and where to find them at what time of the year and while one cup studies this
lesson
another follows its mother onto the carving grounds and the elk
Grizzlies
aren't full-time predators like the walks but they still take their toll on
L
cuffs each spring hope
the bad moves through the grass with the purpose
she relies on her nose testing the air
and searching the ground for the center Valcke its all her tiny cup can do
to keep up
at a
like
on
for the comp the brief dunn's between birth and death
will be over in a moment for the company it's a first step in holding the skill
that will help him succeed in yellowstone
yet
Bears have many ways to make a living
moules must hunt to survive but the Grizzlies life
is full of choice
old scarface may no longer be able to chase down a look
but he's managed to catch a fish
and as he wanders his range there will be mushrooms and dandelions
aunts and earthworms this could root and berries to harvest
the grisly need to Kingdom
vast and varied and complex
he needs all yellowstone
just
rock
rock half
thrilled
one
in this cauldron of competition and conflict a grizzly sometimes
gets to relax on
ok
low hung up
cool
just he retrieves a mule deer
he has stashed in the grass by the lake and for once
he has a whole carcass to himself well
almost
he takes his time over a delicate morsel it's not often he gets to enjoy the
little things in life
them
then
after lunch and nap just
that is until biting flies discover
a grass-covered carry and he's using trip lol truth
team in
him
him
them
he retreats to the cool waters for some sweet relief
by the end of summer all activity is focused on the coming winter
of Grizzlies head up high
for the most important harvest of the year
hands
the Clark's Nutcracker is up there already collecting the seeds have the
whitebark pine
mad squirrels are also gathering their winter seats dole
the birds will disperse the seeds
but the squirrels will cashed and that's what the grisly is looking for
the bear digs up that work
the seeds are rich in fats and the bad takes in as many calories as she can
on
man the seeds are crucial to great lengths
but the combs don't fall to the ground Grizzlies often rely on someone else to
climb up and harvest them
black bears can make it almost to talk
they'll bring the branches and cones to the ground and in reaching for Christmas
I
on
the mighty bear may be dominant among these many creatures
but she's also dependent on all their efforts
in this tale love
to predators each succeeds according to its nature
this enormous male
is waiting on the walls he's
staked out in the territory of the mollys pack and here they come
right on schedule
instead of starting some kind of fight the grisly tags along with the back
ok
I'm the bear is huge
he looks to be almost 300 keaton's
and the Wolves seem resigned to his presence the mines
on
ok

I'm the Wolves attend to that task they're here

the better lets them go he's in no hurry it
that
but as soon as the wolves have accomplished a kill
he suddenly quick on the scene
on loans
battle like
this is the way of things in yellowstone a Wolfpack
working together is the greatest predator there is but even the mommies
14 Wall strong on know how to step aside
for one large batton
a grisly in his prime is the master here on
he makes the most have the skills of others and takes from the mall
in turn on
the Wolves must simply by that time
and wait for him to leave ok
up
old scarface
is past challenging a Wolfpack he's up in the whitebark pine forest
where it's already starting to snow up
winter is closing in the pine seeds are all but gone
soon there'll be nothing left to eat
slowly
limping now with age in effort he makes the climb up the snowy slope
his damn and a long winter's rest awaiting
No
by the end of November the Grizzlies have yellowstone
have gone to bat once again yellow star
is wolf country at least
that's how the story is supposed to end are
mom but here
on Christmas Day four weeks later hibernation
