A lone Yellowstone wolf takes on a coyote pack

[@PlanetBlake]

Even if Mike Tyson had a broken arm, I think all of us would still show him the amount of "respect" these Coyotes showed this lone injured Wolf. They harassed him, but knew that even with his broken leg, he was still dangerous enough to kill or seriously wound them. They played it safe by going ahead and letting him eat in peace. He was by himself so wasn't going to eat much, and there was enough of this big carcass left for the Coyotes to come back to.

[@trajan6927]

Don't forget Mike Tyson can still chew off an ear. Lmao

[@hobahtac]

So true animals are amazing at optimizing- cost/benefit- if the Coyotes hadn’t fed it would have been a different story though I would still bet on the wolf’s ability to fight through pain and the coyote’s natural alignment to the hierarchy

[@Yellowstonewolves]

You are right Blake - many a coyotes have been killed by wolves. A wolf bite could kill but worse it could injure the coyote to the point it can’t feed itself. For every predator self preservation comes first. You have to be able to fight another day.

How long did the wolf feed? Did it leave the carcass or was it chased off? It would be great if we could follow the wolve's activities and see what happens to it. Can a wolf recover from such an injury? I suspect it cannot.

[@Yellowstonewolves]

Rachel - glad to see you are back on the channel. This is great feedback and I will keep this in mind to have done a follow-up. Can a wolf recover from this? I am sure some people will say yes and other will say no. Of course it depends on the severity of the injury, which none of us know but over the years I would say 30% of the time they can overcome a limping injury. About 70% of the time they don't and continue to be lame for a long period of time. Those that survive but are lame do end up with much short life spans and sometimes challenged by other wolves if it were a dominant wolf. This wold did spend 15 mins feeding and I should have posted that note in the video. I have been shortening that because some folks are sensitive to those images and I didn't want to create a channel with a lot of gore. He did get a full belly before leaving so he added a few days to his life to recover. Best, Ron

[@juangp632]

Good question. It is what I thought when the video finished. How long did the wolf feed?. Thanks to Yellowstone video for the response. I saw a video of a wolf with three legs. And he was fat like a ballon. So i hope the beautiful protagonist of this video be able to survive long and healthy.

Wolves don't really "join a pack". What they do is find a mate and start a pack, their pack mates are their children/siblings. Occasionally a pack will allow a distantly related wolf to join them, but it's relatively rare.

Don - the park does not rehabilitate nor interfere. Wolves are not an endangered species but they were an important part of the park's balance in the circle of life. They protect the park as an ecosystem and we all learn from it. Elk - Wolves - Coyotes - Sheep - Pronghorn - Grizzly - etc. all find a balance in the park and death is part of that balance. I completely agree with you that we need to do more to restore and protect wildlife but the issue isn't with regards to what happens in Yellowstone but rather why we don't have more protected large ecosystems for wildlife. We really can't protect and restore each animal. We have to restore and protect a place or ecosystem where these animals can flourish as have for thousands of years ...and left alone. Just because we can watch or hike amongst them don't make their environment any less wild if we just watch and leave them alone.

@Yellowstone Video that Bison bull didn’t die from natural causes I have a theory that he got injured during a fight with another bull and got abandoned by his herd. From how severe his injuries were he couldn’t walk properly, laid down and died from dehydration and starvation in that spot from his injuries.

[@Yellowstonewolves]

Dylan - you might be right, I would have no way of knowing. One thing to keep in mind is that mature bulls really never spend time with a heard unless it it mating in the fall. Bulls group up in 2-3 sometimes 4 bulls when younger. The 2-3 bulls is likely because 4 or 6 eyes is better than just two. A grown mature bull have very little to fear in the park. Almost nothing can take down a mature healthy bull even when alone. So yes he could have been hurt for some reason. Please do subscribe! Keep the comments coming.

I thought that park rangers would be called in to either put it down, or sedate it and take it to a wild life vet to get it's leg fixed up, it seemed to be young enough to be reintroduced back to the wild afterwards, in my opinion if it is in a national park it should have got help there are groups that will take care of injured wild life if its possible. poor thing its probably dead by now if it didn't get help.

[@l.b.9567]

It's not a zoo

[@hankgoresich6836]

It is not the job of the park to spare wild animals the fear of predation or the agony of death. It is the park's job to PRESERVE the horrific conditions of the wild.

[@Yellowstonewolves]

@hankgoresich6836 comment is correct. The National Park Service mission is: Preservation, Not Rescue and Rehabilitation. This means preserving what is wild. "An animal’s survival depends on its own daily decisions and natural selection. Animals with traits that make them better adapted to the environment will tend to survive, reproduce, and pass on their genetic characteristics more than animals without those traits. Through this process, natural selection shapes the behavior of wildlife. Actions like feeding, husbandry, and rehabilitation contradict the National Park Service mission by shielding animals from the forces of natural selection and creating a zoo-like atmosphere where animals require assistance or protection from people." - YNP Death is a Necessary Part of Nature "In the wildness of Yellowstone, animals that are vulnerable or make bad decisions become food for others. It can be difficult to watch nature take its course, especially when young animals are involved and human actions may have influenced the outcome. However, each year animals have more offspring than can possibly survive. The death of some animals is a necessary part of sustaining our populations of predators, scavengers, decomposers and, eventually, herbivores once the nutrient cycle comes full circle. Yellowstone is not a zoo or an animal park; it is the wilderness home to countless creatures living in their own environment on their own terms." - YNP www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/whyyellowstonedoesnotrescuewildlife.htm

To bad that the wolf could not be darted and have his leg fixed .

[@dennissmith7214]

Oh he could be but probably will provide a meal for the coyotes that night or a hungry bear. 😳🤷🏽‍♂️

[@chesterswingjr9796]

A team tranquilized him, and fixed his leg. He’s been seen back with his pack, so that’s good to hear.

[@timg7627]

It’s common practice for the Rangers to put injured animals in a van and drive them to the nearest McDonald’s so they can get a couple burgers and after eating they get returned to the park. Although there are few animals who actually prefer tacos so in those situations they drive them to Taco Bell instead

[@andoncroft]

Hope some wildlife ppl rescued the wolf and gave her/him some vet care to treat it's leg

[@DylanZombie]

@Yellowstone Video or my other theory is that the Bison bull was injured from a poacher trying to take him down and missed his kill shot and hit him in the flank and still caused him a severe internal bleeding from the bullet severing his pulmonary artery and bled out and died right where you are now.

[@Yellowstonewolves]

Interesting but there is no hunting for miles from the park or in the park. Even Bison hunting outside of the park is very controlled.
