Ravens and wolves are close allies. They often team up to find food, learn of danger, etc. There have also been cases of ravens and wolves playing games with each other.
I was really rooting for the elk “get back in the water, quick quick, yeaah that’s it” I swear BBC is to me what watching sports is to most men, snacks, drinks-the whole 9
I’ve been archery hunting elk since 1979…. They are something else. There were 20,000 elk in Yellowstone and now wolves have them down to only 3,000. It’s rare to even SEE an elk in the park now. Moose have fared even worse. Those big animals can’t run in deep snow and the wolf can run on TOP, making it easy for them. Our herds are getting decimated by the wolf now, which is protected in many states.
@matteberhard-bt9ph Please stop with your false information. The herd in Yellowstone annual norms* are - Summer: 10,000-20,000 elk in six to seven different herds. Winter:
@@lukilsn I’ve been hunting since 77 for elk. Spent a full month each year for 15 years. Usually 2 or three weeks in wilderness areas all other years. I don’t even really understand the phrase “balanced” because it’s only as balanced as we steer it to be. If you think nature was more balanced 1,000 years ago you’d be wrong. Fires went out of control. No fire dept. Disease killed entire herds of every species when they overpopulate. Predators overpopulate and then wipe out entire species. THAT is what nature does left to its own. Turning wolves loose to breed at will and saying that’s a good thing is discounting all the peripheral damage done by them to other species. Wyoming and all western states have really been working on reintroduction of moose for 40 years and now they have these moose eating machines. If you spend time in the wilderness the carcasses are proof wolves are not good for anything but wolf lovers. They damage every other species.
And the majority of their kills are of animals that are at some sort of physical disadvantage. That’s what the science has shown over and over. It’s also important to remember that with their incredible sense of smell, their ability to see and pick up on any signs of illness or infirmity, wolves can sense “hidden” vulnerability in animals that may seem perfectly healthy to us. But yes, depending on their determination, luck, the terrain, and other factors, wolves can and do successfully bring down healthy elk and other animals. They will always go for the easiest, slower, more vulnerable members of a herd if given the choice though. And this bull elk was just too strong to be worn down.
I was in Yellowstone a few months ago and our group observed a wolf pack chilling out in the snow waiting for a bison collapsed in the river to expire.
The shifting dynamic between hunter and hunted inspired some reflection about my experience of life, the shifting from actor to acted upon back to actor again non-stop, the ever-unfolding, ever-changing human drama. Like this drama here, so beautiful, so deadly. Kudos to all involved in the making of what seems impossibly perfect. 🎉
Wolves are aided by snowmobile tracks. They save significant energy by running & travelling in the packed out snow, avoiding deep snow, & accessing caribou, elk, deer habitat areas much easier.
An amazing piece of film. Congratulations on capturing such great footage. I was soooo happy to see the proud elk walk away from what was a certain kill...in a pack, but not only 2 of them. Wonderful also is the knowledge of the narrator, knowing exactly how to interpret the interaction. Good job, guys. This is certainly worthy of a "like" and a subscription!
Instincts are amazing. The elk would have had a tough time had the wolves decided to attack in the snow, with it's hooves sinking deep and making kicks and maneuvers difficult, and the lighter wolves having good access to the throat.
O alce soube intimidar os lobos com sua postura altiva, além disso não desperdiçou energia com fugas frenéticas em altas velocidades. A inteligência, a calma e a coragem de encarar frontalmente os lobos, garantiu-lhe a sobrevivência 😊
The Yellowstone herd has dwindled from 20,000 to only 3,000. Soon there will be no elk in Yellowstone. And that’s only 180 wolves doing that. We have 3,000 wolves in America from the original 12 that were released. Sickening. They are obliterating American wildlife.
Those wolves were much faster and could have been on that elk. They were not even trying to engage at that point they were trying to take it for a long run so that it would be exhausted before the games begin.
this video is truly captivating, i love how it showcases the raw beauty of nature. however, i can't help but feel a bit conflicted about the way nature is portrayed here. while it’s amazing to see the circle of life, the brutal reality of predation can be hard to watch. do you think we should intervene more to protect certain species, or just let nature take its course?
this video shows us a very good example of not turning u back on a predator, the imputence of any predator is seeing the ass of u prey, running away is never the answer, turn round and face the wolf and its becomes confused not knowing what to do, as a wolf expert these last 30 years, never turn u back on a predator people
Ok thank. Growin up in the streets we learn never turn our back to somebody we dont know or a threat that we do know. But we never learned about animals
As you mentioned, it’s supposed to be “Cold temperatures are putting these wolves at an advantage, as their prey are weakened by these harsh conditions.” BBC dudes made a mistake in writing the description.
The BBC would have no video to post if not for the people they haven't credited. It really isn't hard to do. If I'd worked on this, I'd be insulted ngl
A wolf is an animal, cruel and bloodthirsty, our cottage is a place where wolves sometimes come to us, and I am afraid that they will pose a danger to my daughter.

A lot of those birds were actually magpies

Very well filmed, documented and narrated, hats off to the BBC EARTH team to film that in these cold harsh conditions
The DRUIDS are a historical and legendary pack of WOLVES

Takes a months long stakeout sometimes. As I’m sure was the case here.
Don't get fooled, they pay those actors good money
Animals are paid actors

Yeah. 🍡

Really that.

It's those that get left behind and become prey. Who gives a shit. Lettem eat.

I like how brave the reindeer is 😅
These documentries show how dangerous living in wild is.
BBC Earth is the one team from BBC which I believe in their hard work.
Absolute beauty of narration....❤they always come up with something interesting
do i see a dead elk buried in the snow bank? are those antlers?
Was combing and combing the comments for this. 10000% a previous kill or drowned/froze.
@@jamjam9930 you didn't need to comb through comments to confirm that. it was directly addressed in the video at 3:50.
I didn't know Elk are that big. He is massive
However big you think they are, they’re bigger. Puts in into perspective standing next to a mount of one or a living one.
They are the size of a large horse.
Это благородный олень. Лось ещё больше
