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?

Unable to get at the nutricious innards, the bear grips the dead elk’s leg with long, sharp claws. The meat here is minimal but more readily available and something is better than nothing.
