Wildlife Photographer Captures A Majestic Encounter Between A Grizzly Bear And A Wolf

Yellowstone National Park has always offered spectacular sights, but a recent one captured our attention in an exceptional way.

A grizzly bear was enjoying a week-long picnic after drowning a huge bull elk and pulling it onto the Yellowstone riverbank.

Since the area is well visible from its surrounding, it had become a feast for photographers.

However, of all the stunning shots of the bear and elk, a series by Montana traveler and photographer Seth Royal Kroft stands out in particular.

After hearing about the grizzly that took down a large bull elk, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see it through his own lenses. With an alarm set for 2 am, he was on the road half an hour later, arriving at the location by 6 am. Seth said it was still dark, so with a hot cup of noodles in hand, he got his trusty Sony camera and started waiting for daybreak. Soon, he could make out the “dark ball” laying across the river about 150 yards away. As the sun began to rise and the mist slowly subsided, Seth began shooting.

But as if this wasn’t enough of a view, nature decided to delight him with another subject. A grey wolf walked out of the woods, probably after picking up on the scent of the large decaying animal, and Seth captured some of the greatest photos of his life.
