Wolves chase a grizzly

On April 23rd 2017 the Lamar Canyon wolf pack briefly chased of an incoming grizzly bear. The bear eventually got the carcass.

[@basedinstinct1885]

Bear sensed he was in a bad neighborhood.

[@GoodVibes-ie7vx]

Looks like the wiser wolf decided to chill with the bear in the end .

[@razorsharpe3371]

That young grizzly seemed unaware of the two wolves laying in the grass on his right side until he started to retreat. Thought their acute sense of smell would have warned the bear.

[@LisaCarso]

Depends on wind direction

[@douglashurd8652]

Wolves stay downwind of things they hunt , bear smell better than Wolves. So wolves follow bears .

[@LisaCarso]

@@douglashurd8652 can you suggest any research that shows olfaction in bears is superior to that in wolves? Thanks!

It’s a young inexperienced bear

[@underrated7725]

Yea. Young bears usually run away from confrontation until they have no choice but to fight. That's when they f... you up. Lol

[@kensalazar5066]

Wolves are probably on the young side too..a mature interior Grizzly would never run ....from anything but a gun

The wolves would not have attacked him if he went back in or continued his normal course, they attacked him only when he ran, you can apply this in your daily life..

[@hashbrown4278]

They just wanted to scare it off mission accomplished

[@samverdes1915]

This one is a young adult, the odds of a grizzly bear running vs wolves will be totally different with a fully grown-up one. I would say the wolves will be the ones running away in this case

[@hashbrown4278]

No even full grown one is risking injury messing with a while back off

[@shiloh6519]

Its still a juvenile. A fully grown bear would have no fear of those wolves.

[@ShastaBean]

That's not true. Both are math experts. Neither want to risk injury. But even just two wolves, if a fight is a certainty they can methodically work on the back of the bears ankles. It might seem benign to us, but a wolf bite to those tendons is no joke. And it only takes one. The bear knows this, too. The wolves are too fast for the bear to easily grab, unless a mistake is made. You can see with this or other encounters, it's the only thing the wolves ever do is to go for bites to the back of the legs, because it ends up as serious injury that a bear might fight through in the short term, but can be a huge problem in the end. The bear is afraid because of this. You can see how their main concern and vulnerability is the back ankles, and do everything they can to keep them from the wolves. The wolves are not afraid of the bear because it can't catch them. But the wolves also know they can't do anything to the bear in terms of killing it quickly, because of the bear's power and its own jaws & claws. Both are smart. But a grizzly that doesn't have fear of wolves is a dumb bear.

[@douglashurd8652]

Looked like bear sat down and said what the plan now . One paw swipe and that's alot of wolf hair and cuts

[@ShastaBean]

​@@douglashurd8652 Yah, right - it's not sitting down to avoid more bites to the legs & rump. And Yes, a paw swipe that is so slow that it shows up in the same place where the wolf was at, .75 seconds ago...as the wolf watches it waving nowhere close to it, from about 4 or 5 feet away.

[@douglashurd8652]

@@ShastaBean that's why it's 4 to 5 feet away. Lol . I love wolves being from Minnesota but getting all up close and being in paw range isn't happening , just not alot of documents of each species hunting each other or eating each other as wolves typically follow bear to carcasses with the better sniffer a bear posesses or a bear dominating wolf kills if mature and hungry.

This is a young not fully grown bear. If he was dumb enough to fight a whole pack he would get killed ultimately. But there is a video floating around of a giant full grown grizzly feeding on a kill while fending off 13 or 14 giant hungry wolves with ease and no fear of them.
