E-Xhibition - A grizzly confrontation
Bears and wolves often share the same territory and encounters between the two mega-fauna are infrequent, but not unusual. Deep in the mountains of northern USA, a grizzly feeds on the carcass of an elk, frozen in the snow. Unbeknown to the bear, one of America's most powerful predators, a pack of grey wolves are running a routine surveillance of their territory and the inevitable confrontation occurs. At first, the bear defends the carcass, which could be its last major meal before spring. But the wolves are equally determined and take comfort in the strength of the pack. One on one, the bear would prevail but against the pack, the odds are stacked more evenly. The outcome is no foregone conclusion. The question is, which of these two great predator species will prevail?
The alpha male is the first to test the bear's resolve ...
Wolf / bear encounters happen infrequently but are not unusual. A wolf is no match for the power and strength of a grizzly but bears lack the speed in close combat and agility of the wolf. Here, the alpha male goads the bear while the rest of the pack watch, eager to assess their chances. If the bear is weak with hunger, a distinct possibility given the season, then they know they have a chance to steal what would prove a worthy prize.
