Wolves are native to the region home to Yellowstone National Park, but for a time these creatures were nowhere to be found in the vast northern landscape of the United States.
Some wolves were spotted in the area in the decades that followed but scientist believed they just happened to migrate through the park and didn’t maintain a permanent residence there.
Today, the NPS estimated that 108 wolves roam free in the park’s boundaries, living in approximately 10 total packs.
While wolves’ diet typically consists of elk and deer, they occasionally go after bison and one of the modern day packs was videoed doing just that.
The video eventually gets to the point of attack, where the pack hones in on a smaller portion of the herd, sections them off, then finds the weakest bison among them for their dinner.
The poor bison seems to realize he’s done for from the jump, although we have seen videos of them delivering a KO shot by mean of their rear hooves, so the battle was far from over.
The entire 7 minutes of this video are absolutely worth watching and I couldn’t recommend it enough.
Shoutout to Inspire Wild Media, safe to say I’ll be going down a rabbit hole of their content this weekend.
