Salmon Fishing Wolves of Alaska, Very Rare Footage! wolf vs grizzly bear

[@anthonybyers3372]

It cracks me up seeing a wolf just sitting around hanging out with bears its almost like they are friends hanging out. LOL

[@mandyvarona8371]

Thank you for capturing and sharing what is probably the most amazing footage I have ever seen. You guys did a magnificent job. I've never seen the intelligence of a wolf more starkly demonstrated. Next s/he will be standing up on its hind legs! Really amazing how well everybody gets along. Thank you so much!

[@richbusche4321]

Thanks for not only the visible but also the audible sounds of nature (no loud music). I had never seen the wolf and bear so peacefully hunting so close together. Great video, thanks for posting.

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

Amazing. It is incredible that the bears and the wolf accept each other's presence. That is one very brave wolf.

[@Alaska2446]

Sad but wonderful thing how he takes it back to his family before he eats,cause there is no way it's enough but he doesn't eat it first then try for more, just encase he don't get more...Love animals! Thanks for this wonderful video!

[@bradjosephs]

thanks brandi!

[@fasx56]

Very valuable video documenting the fact that some wolves have learned to catch salmon and at the same time hang out close to the bears their natural enemies.

[@marsharupe8112]

What incredible footage. Thanks for sharing. We're trying to re-establish wolves in New Mexico.

[@anthonybyers3372]

you should try to move some to texas too I here Wolves used to roam all over Texas.

[@joeyporello3458]

Amazing footage it was a pleasure to watch it

[@RebeckaSarkozy]

There is much more beauty and peace amongst animals than we were taught to believe. This proves it! Thank you sooo much!

[@coyotedocumentaries5028]

Lol at 2:30 that bear runs over in front of the wolf like "No, no! Take pictures of me instead! I'm fabulous!"

[@OntarioUrbanMusher]

very cool vid thanks for shooting the wolf with a camera not a gun man

[@bradjosephs]

ide rather shoot a person than a wolf

[@OntarioUrbanMusher]

[@darrenskinner3711]

+Andreas Larsson Brass tacks time. You have to kill a either a wolf or a human. No other choices. No other context. No smell, taste, sight, sound or touch to guide you. Just the certain knowledge that the choice is yours to make and that you're going to make it. Whether by poison, pen or a simple click of the fingers you will make the choice. The totality of all your past experience is the only prism through which your choice can and will be made. What do you choose? When you answer that question honestly then you will most definitely know which you value more......humans or wolves. Ultimately, as with almost everything in this life, value assignment is a totally un-collaborative effort. It's all about you baby. It's only as simple or complicated as you choose to make it. Human vs wolf? Either way it's simple.

[@OntarioUrbanMusher]

id trade thousands of us for a few of them trust me on this

[@troyottosen8722]

Ontario, just a fact for you,this was filmed in Katmai National park on the Alaska Peninsula across from Kodak Island where guns are not allowed in AK national parks,no roads their, you get their by floatplane, or boat from Kodiak! Just the facts!

[@kevindietrich3874]

Wonderful Brad. Unfortunate that they comments are so hostile and childish. It certainly doesn't take away from the amazing footage and experience you had during that film session. I just returned from that area and it was a gorgeous place and I had an amazing time. Thanks so much for sharing and look froward to more. Do you have the photographers name who was with you? I'd love to see his work.

[@JbirdL2233]

Unbelievable, just beautiful. Clever little wolves. The video and photographs at the end are spectacular!

[@mudlogga]

Didnt see his Pics, he just told me about the wolf, and said she had a very successful catch rate.Glad you got it filmed and shared it.

[@ConteMann]

Congratulations for the video and I am really impressed by the beauty of the final photo gallery. Beautiful photo shoots; very good!

[@lisalittlewolfstraw5905]

I really just found your videos and they just take my breath away ;I have loved and fought for both of these animals my entire life ,mostly WOLVES THOUGH and I love your work ,thank you ...Lisa ;)

[@ginnymcloughlin6233]

May I use parts of your unusual video for part of my lecture on wildlife of alaska - incredible! Dr. V.McLoughlin

[@Marshwife]

It really doesn't get any better than that..! Fantastic footage..!

[@wilsonblauheuer6544]

notice the wod has an expression on his face, when he is near the bears, like " I am not here to make trouble, just trying to catch a fish"

[@Junde14]

Its so nice to see how they tolerate eachother so well

[@whisperisblack]

I could sit and watch these for hours! amazing :) I bet it is hard to walk away from them always wondering if you are going to miss something as soon as your turn your back. Love the bear and wolf facing each other at 7:00!

[@prissy12]

this is such an awesome video.It shows us the ways that these wildlife adapt to whats there and how to get food.Very interesting behavior of the wolf.Loved it

[@Peter67007]

@bradjosephs Thanks for the explanation Brad, and once again thank you for the awesome footage.

[@jimmyharmony-eleven8455]

I love how they get along. All hunting for the same thing. Fishies. lol

[@judithcampbell3354]

Photos and memories of a lifetime my friend! Thank You for sharing

[@Richard9057]

Spectacular videos. Thanks Brad.

[@datubeda]

Just discovered your channel... Amazing vids!!!

[@sanacosta9794]

Black tip is getting to be one of my favorite channels. Savage!!!

[@lisalittlewolfstraw5905]

I loved the shot where the wolf is laying down and the Bear is walking past (that is so cool );)

[@deponthiereDaniele]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing your passion for wild life.

[@naturemanmatt]

I was wondering if there are any tour guides that I can go backpacking with to see the wolves in Alaska. If there isn't, what are some trails or backpacking were they are mostly seen?

[@RevanJJ]

The bears are like “ok, we fight each other for salmon, but the little dude can just chill, he’s got a pass.” Great footage.

[@SD-hj6ok]

awesome footage, where did you shoot it? What subspecies is the wolf?

[@gabrielg.2401]

Remarkable interactions. Thank you!

[@mandyvarona8371]

There's another video that has a wolf that looks just like our wolf here. "Viking Wilderness, when wolves and bears clash." Same wolf, check it out.

[@Goddess2681]

It seems the tail is down expressing submissiveness of the bears. Watch the behavior of both wolf & bears while they are in closer proximity, the submissiveness is more obvious then, but the wolf consistently is expressing this throughout the entire clip.

[@MsMerryland]

That has to be one of the most amazing videos I've seen! Thank you so much for posting it. (and yes that is a wolf)

[@lisalittlewolfstraw5905]

STUNNING PICTURE !!!!

[@carolv8450]

Great vid & pics! Exciting!

[@blackdogdancer]

This is wonderful... thank you for sharing!

[@troyottosen8722]

Brad, I have liv egg d in AK the past 35 years as a bear viewing and fishing guide all over AK, this looks like the Katmai area, right? What you might not know is here in Southeast AK on Prince of Wales Island, biologists I know who study their diets in summer say most of their diet is salmon during summer,plus these wolves are a unique genetic strain of AK wolves due to their unique remoteness of Southeast Ak Islands of Southeast AK.

[@BassinWCoast]

Amazing videos you have, thanks for posting. You ever get charged by any of these animals?

[@aaahtex902]

@ 1st I thought small Coyote, then, IMPRESSIVE photographic comparison of Wolf next to Griz = that's a pretty sizable Wolf!! GREAT VID!

[@tgoins2011]

I love your videos.

[@Everett_James]

Awesome footage that's a first for me I've never seen a wolf hunt for a fish with bears great catch dude

[@bradjosephs]

yeah i know, where did you see his footage?

[@b1g_m00n]

Awesome footage man. I love wildlife and love wolves above everything else, so I really envy you. Hey, about those pictures at the end: which camera did you take them with? What was the lens model and aperture?

[@TheBlomberg]

Amazing photos!

[@DocSpratley33]

amazing footage!! those bears are HUGE!

[@brandonlynch3722]

This is absolutely incredible.

[@ObitoUchiha-be1jo]

Wow I learned a lot. Thank you for your work

[@SavageInstitute]

Amazing footage!! Where was this shot at?

[@kparker1267]

Hi Brad. I am a student at Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA and I am currently making a short film about wolves in California. I was wondering if you would be willing to share this footage with me for my film. I would give you full credit and even advertisement for your tour guides if you'd like. Please let me know if that is something you'd be wanting to do. Thank you. -Kira Parker, Wildlife Biologist undergrad at HSU

[@bradjosephs]

Hey Kira, sorry I missed this- yes no problem! Email me at [e-mail]

[@lollilolly3900]

How neat..Great footage..Just enjoyable..

[@aaron314]

This footage made my day, thank you!

[@nicolafigini784]

And mine!

[@Onlydarkess]

Thanks for the great videos.

[@515Susan]

Great footage!

[@judithcampbell3354]

Thank You for this wonderful video! I hope it’s okay to share it! Please send me more! A’ho

[@Juuuleez]

how far are you from them? they look so happy hah

[@l3ixTube]

Awesome footage

[@SteamerElgin]

yout videos are always good

[@Supadupa54]

Great footage

[@Raphael041]

I really like how those bears and the wolf dont get aggressive on each other........

[@mandyvarona8371]

LOL Gulls and crows and who knows what else. When nature is left alone to work, it works beautifully and everybody gets fed. We should be so smart.

[@wilsonblauheuer6544]

The gull is like "are you goin to eat that pile of fish guts?- oh, thank you so much"

[@saoboni8081]

Coyotes live everywhere in Alaska, as far south as Juneau and just barely into the arctic region. They're more common in the forests, especially the rivers. They don't live near road systems, and even if a coyote does build a den near a road, AWCC will relocate them. This "wolf's" posture, tail, build, and head all look like a coyotes, not a wolf. The only thing wolfish about it is it's size, but Alaskan coyotes are known to get pretty large.

[@slate2720]

Seeing that huge ass bear on their hind legs like that, now I really understand how someone in the dark or far away could see them as a sasquatch in areas with bears present. Bears and wolves are both such beautiful creatures, but if a bear was loping in my direction like that I'd nearly piss myself. These carnivores are far more fearsome than I would have thought maybe 3 years ago. Now imagine a damn short-faced bear looking at you like that, didn't those beasts stand at one story tall or more? Not as afraid of the wolf until they brings their mate, siblings, and pups of previous seasons along with them to meet you.

[@nereocalderon]

Nice footage!

[@Kewltastrophe]

Wow thats alot of Grizzly Bears :)

[@macmarty2025]

Absolutely awesome!!! Thank you very much.

[@gtate9]

Fantastic!! Thank You.

[@joshcrooks804]

You where a little too close dont you think

[@HarrisonCSmith]

This is amazing.

[@wilsonblauheuer6544]

nice video. It's good to know people up there aren't all scoundrels ie animal killers

[@AldridgeFarmstead]

Why is the wolf alone tho?

[@glofe3863]

Uno spettacolo!! thank

[@peaceonearth63]

Wonderful animals! May they always be free, and live in peace!

[@mbear1639]

Wow. Fantastic video. Thanks! (my last name means bear, btw)

[@transientdreams]

Truly Astounding. Thank You!~

[@abigailandino6251]

The wolf is a little lost…he doesn’t seem to be able to pick up the sent the way the beat does. It kind of looks like the wolf is alert to the bears show of force , and hostile movements. She smells something in the air. A potential threat.

[@Xamaxango]

Awesome, thank you a lot

[@MrProjectmayhem]

Amazing!

[@WanderingSoleTV]

No doubt!

[@ViscontiGino]

WONDERFULL MOMENT thx !!!

[@thekenner]

Slap those photos on a tshirt, and you'll make a fortune selling them to hipsters all over the country. Awesome stuff.

[@stevestevenson6816]

Getting along with a bear basically entails the bear not having decided to eat you yet

[@ShadowWolf149]

I guess the only time two natural enemies work together is when it comes to food

[@swampfox946]

They may have learned from the bears, but isn't it also plausible they have figured it out on their own?.

[@wilsonblauheuer6544]

That's a female wolf, not a coyote, in my estimation. The bears probably don't consider her any threat, and maybe- they like the company- if she is there- an enemy pack is not likely to be around.orizon.

[@inotaishu1]

The color is also a tad unusual

[@alphawolfury5025]

Is that wolf or coyote

[@Gutwrenched]

Majestic

[@saoboni8081]

Not an Alaskan coyote. Especially the further up north you go, the larger they get. They have been known to get up to five feet in length (about the size of a normal grey wolf in the 48) Then there's the fact that most coyotes here are actually wolf hybrids. The hybrids usually look like giant coyotes. From this "wolf's" appearance, it's more then likely actually a mix between a wolf and a coyote then an actual wolf.

[@wishen4fishen2]

I love Alaska "in summer"

[@allantjoa]

Well it doesn't matter if its a wolf or coyote the important thing is they get along closer each other

[@csisoldier]

Not always

[@pookdesnow]

It's not a wolf, it's a coyote. The face tells the story. It also has the body of a coyote. Coyotes also have the tendency of slinking as they walk, wolves don't.

[@bradjosephs]

no, i can assure you they are all wolves. coyotes only live along the road systems in alaska, like along the alcan highway corridor. these are wolves, no doubt.

[@csisoldier]

It's a red wolf so it looks smaller compared to a grey wolf

[@hailiqiemukamii65]

Awesome
