With a bison being an average 1,000-2,000 lbs, and a wolf 100 lbs, this is no easy task. '24 Wolves Kill a Bison' is a rarely witnessed behavior in the wild. Elk are the primary diet of wolves in Yellowstone N.P. When the pack size reaches triple the average size, 24 of them go after much larger prey.

Honestly this is one of the best I've ever seen. It's Planet Earth - worthy footage. Had no intention of watching the whole thing and couldn't turn away. Bravo!

Sun faded . They are black. Sun faded to chocolate, not true black color, is mixed hairs like others but some hairs are true black. Face shorter hair and grooming pulls out. Some of Dis olor chocolate is also dead hair in Pelt that will undercoat shed later.

Great video....amazing in the final moments when the last two buffalo leave their brother to die. The herd tried to protect one another as best they could but in the end their survival instincts took over and it was time to flee. Great to see healthy big packs of wolves in Yellowstone like this.

This Yukon variety is why our big famous elk herds in the backcountry of Montana and Idaho are in a predator pit and elk have moved into marginal ranch areas.

There was a reason our forefathers had bounties on them

The second a video starts and there's music you know they're not going to show how predators actually kill prey and it's just going to be fluff.

I'm sure folks can find plenty of animal predation at its bloodiest with little effort. For some crazy reason, lots of people love animals and nature but don't like to see other animals killed.. Apex predators rock. But we love bunny rabbits, elk et al Fluff, some might call it. 😊

Wow, what a powerful video! Do you think that bison was morning the loss of the other bison? Was if from the same herd?

[@mortalclown3812]

Fwiw, and this fascinated me because I used to assume very few species were capable of grief: a documentary about giraffes changed everything. Later I witnessed cows doing the same thing. Tbh I'm pretty sure no one can prove it either way, but behavior is powerful to witness. Paz y luz.

[@hyenaboy7504]

two words: STOP LYING. If the wolves were capable of causing the elk to go extinct, then the elk would have gone extinct thousands of years ago, and that is FACT.

[@gregorywhitely9320]

Agreed, mankind has wreaked havoc, most people don't kill for necessity anymore.

[@michaelwallace7587]

It’s winter! Elk migrate out of most of Yellowstone. Obviously wolves aren’t killing enough bison. Because most years the herds have to be culled. So they don’t over graze. I bet you’d you’d rather see them die a natural death. Their teeth wear Don and they starve to death.

[@thedwightguy]

@@gregorywhitely9320 Lake trout decimated the spring brook trout fishery in Yellowstone.....for Grizzly. so they changed to elk calves, then cattle calves. Wolves get the blame. actuall follow up: 24 of 28 calves taken were by grizzly bears, not wolves. But don't let facts bother you, "mericans. you know best. now look at the rest of the mess you made.

Junction butte. Currently the biggest pack in yellowstone and is the only pack ever in yellowstone history to hunt bison more than elk. They primarily kill adult bison too, 24% females %21BULLs and 11% more adults but their gender is unknown. This pack are slowly becoming expert bison hunters. Not as good as the ones in wood buffalo national though, they kill bison at an almost 80% rate. Killing an adult bison every 9 days or so in the winter

[@elmartillo5633]

I want to see the whole thing plese do not inflict your morals on me the killing is the crown of the chase

[@holgerawakens7784]

There are about 125 wolves in Yellowstone. There are about 6,000 bison in Yellowstone. A wolf eats about 8 bison per year. The Math: 125 x 8 = 1000. Remember, 90% of the bison eaten by wolves in Yellowstone are prime females so you lose calf production to replace loss. So the wolves take 1,000 bison a year, they kill mostly females who won't bear calves now and there are 6,000 bison in total in Yellowstone. Bottom line: if you want to see some bison in Yellowstone, you better make your plans to get out there pronto.

[@indigos.4227]

Wolves and bison lived together for a millenia before overhunting of the wolves by humans. I'm sure they'll figure it out, Luke they had fir hundreds if not thousands of years before.

These are not indigenous wolves. We had wolves in the lower 48 still. Irremotus historically never ran in packs in park records of groups more than 4 or 5 . They also didn't sport kill. These Yukon wolves are from Northern Canada, and are the largest subspecies of wolf in the world. Documented packs of our native wolves were covered up in the Frank Church in Idaho by a man that mapped them for the USFWS and IDFG in Idaho. RIP White Socks. This wolf also spread Hydatid Disease to our ungulate populations. It's an environmental hazard as well as a wildlife shredder. People should be put in jail that brought them down here and trapped them illegally.
