24 Hours After Grizzly Kills Bull Elk in Yellowstone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- With so much interest in the possible injury to the Bull Elk prior to the attack by the bear in my "Grizzly Kills Bull Elk in the Yellowstone River, Hayden Valley, Sept.18, 2020", I added more footage. The first photograph shows the wound behind the front leg and the broken back left leg onlookers ascribe to a fight with another Bull Elk. The grizzly photos show roughed up fur on it's left side I thought may be from the Bull thrusting at the bear, and the front head shot looks like a spot a hoof may have struck,; It's just above the bears left eye. Share your thoughts. It was a new experience for me. Thanks for watching.

Wow, thanks.
He using the dirt to dry age the elk meat for some extra flavor
He's not even hungry. Look how big he is. It's extra food so he's waiting till he gets hungry.
A great example as to why you should boil water when in the wilderness = you never know what's in the water just upstream of you or how long it's been there.
That's for certain! Thanks for the view.
That's why you go upstream high above everything
@@clintcoop5717 yeah bud, hike 40 miles up stream, why not just boil your water or throw in some iodine? you wouldnt last
00:03 bear be like "dear lord, thank you for this harvest" .. 00:05 bear be like "shit, why did I do that to Bob, he never hurt anyone"
It was quick. Thanks for watching.

Being in nature and watching this... then to have the constant cackling and cars running - half ruins the whole experience.
I agree about the traffic noise, but it is actually a treat to realize how many families and children are in awe of the Yellowstone experience they have the opportunity to witness in large gatherings during their vacations.
@@bejudson1384 that’s a very optimistic observation
@@bejudson1384 Agree. I live near Banff and I’m a 20 minute drive from Kananaskis County. Last year traffic stopped for a beautiful cinnamon sow and her two blonde cubs 50 feet away. Not ten minutes later, another black bear sow with a shiny black babe. I wish I had my good camera with me!
Nobody at either stop we’re getting out of their cars, I’m happy to say.
To anyone reading this-A FED BEAR IS A DEAD BEAR! 🙏
01:35 "How would the wolf know theres a dead animal here?" That woman sounds like shes older, yet shes unaware that some animals sense of smell is so far beyond humans, that dogs can track scents hours later, or predators can smell blood from miles away? The obliviousness of our species can be mindboggling.
Traveling to Yellowstone is a great opportunity to discover how wildlife use their habitat for survival, I would assume activity rarely thought about in America's urban areas. Thanks for the view.
Thank nature is metal for my view
Nature is metal.

Thanks for Part 2 of your first video. Beautiful followup.
Thank you too!
Nature is Metal sent me here. Very nice.
Geez Louise, did you see all that tilling he/she did to the river bank?
Que pasa
The world of wildlife! Yellowstone! Thanks for watching.

10 days ago on the 15th of May 2022 the day the south entrance to the park opened, we were about 5 miles into the park (in a sedan) when a monster black bear busted through the snow on the right side of the road in a full gallop, and even after slamming on breaks, I think I missed him by about 3 foot. All we saw for a split second was a windshield of nothing but bear. I don't think his feet hit the road but once and he was gone. We felt like we just entered Jurassic Park, and after collecting our thoughts on what just happened, I had the bear pegged to be 1000 to 1300 lbs even though he just came out of hibernation. Yes he looked much bigger than 791 in the video!!! My 1st and probably last trip to Yellowstone will be one I will never ever forget! He may not have weighed that much but his frame sure looked it.
An adrenaline experience, I imagine. So glad it was a miss for all. I remember a May opening drive in the same area decades ago when a 7 ft. tall moose leaped the banks of snow to cross the road, similarly. Whew. Reminders of the need for cautious driving are welcome. Thanks.
Wow, great story. I felt like I was in the seat next to you.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the update! That's a huge bear!
It sure is!
@@bejudson1384 he's almost got that whole elk in his belly already!
I heard, Can you imagine? The night before this, I took videos of Wapiti Lake Wolf Pack (I think they are called) and the white alpha female left with ribs to return to the den and another visitor said, wow, look at her underbelly, it looks like a basketball.

Wow that’s awesome. I was in the park yesterday and saw him with it. Awesome shots.
Cool, thanks!
I am a farmer and to watch him dig with such ease.
@BrianSmith-gp9xr. Absolutely, and to see them flip small boulders over for insects is as a pebble to a child picking up skipping stones. Powerful!
This was awesome to see. We got stuck in the traffic. But, it was okay. We got some pretty awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing!
The bear keeping an eye on Yellowstone visitors across the river gave lots of us some great picture taking opportunities! Rare for a bear to be close enough for my camera lens. Glad you were there!
How does it feel to sit down for dinner and a bunch of noisy people show up in your front yard to watch and film , that must be miserable!
That grizzly mostly ignored the onlookers, but in a few instances appeared to try to stare down a few onlookers, but to no avail. Yellowstone!
Exactly!
Got to see a grizzly run two wolves of a kill in the river a few years ago, within a few minutes of being in the park.
Wow! I am in and out of the Park throughout the summer and often see few animals for days on end. You are a lucky visitor too. Thanks for watching.
Was he trying to hide/ store the elk for springtime? It seems, he has not eaten a bit of it, just trying to bury the whole thing.
He did take his time, hiding it, storing to savor, and guarding it , but eight days out other videos show he managed to consume it with little left for other predators. Thanks for the view.
Be Judson, thank you. I was about to ask the same thing.
Gorgeous shots! Hope the Griz gets to eat most of the elk. RIP elk!
As large as the boar is, I imagine he will be capable of defending his kill. Thanks for watching.

Thank them. Glad you watched.

I was there, and today is 01/12/21, and I just came back to UA-cam to watch again. I feel so lucky to have seen it. The road runs along the far side of the river, so we drove by 3 times and it wasn’t until the 3rd time that I spotted the antlers of the elk because most of the body was still underwater. I was feeling lucky to have seen a grizzly, then I realized it was on a kill! I asked the park ranger who was there if the bear had killed the elk or just found it. He answered that it had killed the elk, so I asked if he had witnessed it. He said “no, but I saw it on UA-cam.” LOL! It wasn’t until later that I realized the kill had been the day before we saw it, but the bear stayed on the kill for an entire week. This was my first visit to Yellowstone, but hopefully not my last.
Thank you for your comment. It is extraordinary to visit Yellowstone National Park and witness wildlife sustaining themselves, whether herbivores, carnivores or both. I am glad you had the opportunity to see one of the park's powerful male grizzlies and the interesting approach it took to preserve and protect the elk he caught up with in the river, and how weakness, illness, or in this case a previous injury becomes an opportunity for a predator. I told a ranger on the morning of the kill that I would post my video and, when I returned the following morning, another ranger I spoke to said he had viewed the video by 5:30 A.M., before leaving for work and heading to the kill site. It was an interesting week to visit Yellowstone. I hope you get to return soon:)
ffhd1cit -Areny you glad that the rangers nowadays are versed in telling us the awe and wonder of nature, instead of glossing over the “yucky” stuff? She answers questions tactfully and factually.

Love the 3rd photo of the bear sitting down chillen and this is amazing for me to see so thank you for all of it and in your first video around 2:09-2:10 you can see that the hind left leg is broken and that video is unbelievable, here's to ya🍻🍺🍺 😎🤙
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the very nice note.
Bear...my eyes were bigger than my stomach
Nickmercs sent me
Appreciating the interest! Thanks.
be aware there is another video by guy "diver dave" of this same bear. after he does the excavation trying to cover it up he actually ends up dragging it up about feet up the hill and then excavates again to cover it up--another bear comes up and fight ensues. the bear was not that hungry and covering it up like dogs do. the other video you likely see on the right of your screen in the list its called "grizzlies fighting over elk carcass yellowstone".
Thanks. I appreciate the update!!
Listen to all the "Karens" in the background, pathetic humans have no idea about nature. If that bear even made one move toward their location they would have ran screaming back to the safety of their mini vans.
That's for sure. Thanks for watching.
I was there, and the reason we have so many good videos is this is across the river. All the people were watching from one side of the river, and the bear was on the other side. That made it perfect, because the people were safe, and the bear felt safe. I’d guess it was 100-130 yards across the river at that point.
Racist!
Did anyone else thought we were gonna get 24hrs chasing footage condensed into 2min??
Cool photo at the end. What do your grand kids think about it?
Thumbs up, but the littlest ones don't get to see it for a few years. Toddlers. Aren't I lucky in this big, beautiful country? Happy to hear from you. My wish after watching your bear on a river carcass came true. Got a similar experience.
Congratulations on getting to see this natural marvel.
Thinking about it later, I surprised myself that I instinctively switched to video. I will always rate that September day as one of my most memorable in Yellowstone. Thanks you.
In the other video the bear looked kinda small. That bear is huge, and so was that elk
Yes. The best that killed the elk was tagged by the park service a year or more before this video was taken and at that time it weighed in at 510 pounds, one of the largest tagged. The smaller bear is perhaps a female or a male years younger than this bear. The elk weight estimate I heard from a ranger was at least 800 lbs. And it was consumed over 7 or 8 days, although other predators snuck in to grab some portions.
The kill was September 2020. The grizzly pulling bones out of the river was filmed summer 2022.
I was so fortunate to have been in the park and watched this for about 5 days. Then I watched the other 2 bears move in and fight for the carcass. Thanks for the video! I was too see struck to even think about filming this event
That is awesome! We were fortunate to be in Yellowstone in September. Thanks for the appreciation.

Thanks ChillQuest!
Nature is metal 🤘
Fantastic footage
510 lbs. according to Ranger Jane.
If there is a Sharon here, whose husband is on the other side, your husband is looking for you. You are allowed to cross.
This is Metal!

Nature is pretty metal
I don't get it he digging a grave for it? Nature is metal could be right these bears just hitmen
Stashing it
That's what nature's refrigerator looks like
Tenderizing and hiding from competitive predators in the area.
He can't eat in peace without TMZ all over his A55
His live audience would be enough to cause envy in a few performers.
Watching these bears run at speed very long distances to attack is frightening stuff. Good thing we are not really on the menu.
Intensely frightening. So glad we are not tasty!
Nature is Metal recommendation
Appreciated. Grateful for the views.
Nature is metal sent me!
That's great. Glad you watched.
Is that a male or female bear?
A male that was tagged and weighed a year or so before this encounter, recording a weight then, just over 500 lbs., if I was given accurate information.
Too bad the humans make such cacophony
You did well it was an awesome sight to see. We finally left yesterday and came back to the big rv
Have fun. It was memorable, that's for sure.
Shout out to the fellas at Nature is Metal for sending me here.
Interesting to see!
That bear put that elk in the slow cooker! In a few days it will be real juicy! 😆🤮
Yep! LOL.
How come the bear didn't eat his kill? Why did he just lay with it?
Grizzlies regularly cover their food to prevent easy access for other predators in the area. This bear did consume the elk, a bit at a time, over seven or eight days. Thanks for watching.
Oh! We were there. We got there too late though. they had to shoo the bear away but we did see the carcass.
It's a beautiful National Park, isn't it? Thanks for watching the video.
Bear is wondering if anyone makes a zip lock big enough for these left overs
LOL Thanks for watching.
I love the comments!

_"Would you like fries with that?"_
LOL. Thanks for the view.
Is he really smarter than the average bear?
Lol
What was that bear doing? Why not eat it?
Putting it in storage to deter other predators, although it did only take about seven or eight days to eat it in entirety. Thanks for watching.
I’m here because nature is metal
Sure is. Thanks.
Next time Nickmercs talks shit to us imma buy that fucking thing and send it to his house
Faze up
Thumbs up!

Thanks.
I guess I'll join everyone on saying that Nature is Metal sent me here. LOL idk if I missed some dialogue here but what is he digging for? Is he going to bury the elk!?
Yeah so it doesnt get stolen
Yes, the follow-up video shows typical behavior of a predator with prey it plans to protect and defend for its own use.
Yep. Thanks for the view.
Peace and Love Baby
Nice sentiment.
Snowflakes Watching a bear
Dare they do more while in Yellowstone? Risky! Glad you viewed it!
I want the horns!!! Cheers
What’s with all these videos where nothing happens?
Most wildlife watching is a bit mundane, but create nice memories away from urban events:)
Wore that bears ass out, drowning & rollin that elk to shore..., to tired to eat now!
It is difficult for bears to kill an adult male wapiti, in general, this usually happens in the water, because in the water it is easier for a bear to fill up a wapiti. Are there any cases when male deer killed bears? Do you know anything about it?
I have not heard of an elk killing a bear during an attack although in this situation I believe the bear received some bruises.
@@bejudson1384 I thought that bears are aggressors and therefore elks rarely kill them, because bears taken away large deer into the water and drown them there, as in all the videos.
Yes bears are aggressors but deer and elk do use their antlers defensively.
@@bejudson1384I got to know a little better, this Elk was injured, a Grizzly chased him and drowned him in the river.
I love to go over there and take those antlers
That would make a great video too
I bet it would be a catch and release, no trespassing on the far shore. Beware of Bear! Thanks for the view.
I would give you a dollar if you did!
He would send you to an early grave..
@@foreverblessed6443 I’m built different
Super dark marking for a grizzly
I agree. I saw the same bear last autumn and he had a bare spot on his flank. I wondered if it was from the antler thrust he received during the take down.
👍👍Thank You Sir again!
Always welcome! I'm glad your interest continues.
That bear isn't wearing a mask, reported.
More levity. Thanks.
Why did the bear engage in that excavation project around the kill?
For storage that I think makes it difficult for intruders (ravens, eagles, hawks, coyotes, wolves, and other bears) from easily accessing its food source.
It helps mask the scent, so other bears, wolves etc won't be attracted to it.
My guess he wants to age the meat. Tender and better tasting.
@@gardencornrobber Yeah, the camera died right before he started salting the bull.
I actually agree that it seems similar to a rock covered pit people cook clams in on the beach. Like a kiln, might soften and tenderize the elk, but I also agree with @Michael Janik.
Any idea if the grizzly is still around and can be seen in this spot? I am headed this weekend and would love to see a bear in the park.
Go to the otter creek area. This grizzly has been roaming around for the last 3 days
Look for wildlife management in their cars seen around the park or ask a naturalist at the visitor center for the most recent reports of bear or wolf sightings in the park. I see bears most often at the east end of Yellowstone Lake within a few miles, either direction, from the Lake Overlook, as seen on maps. Have fun! Be careful!
Cover yourself with sardine juice and take a raw t-bone into the woods. You are sure to see one 😂 of course I’m kidding
@@danielparker8189 😄😱
I came on my own accord
You really enjoy that Honda a lot!
1:35 mark - "How would a wolf know that there's a dead animal here?" - (They used one of their 'life lines' and phoned a friend...)
Everyone enjoys the comic relief! Thanks for the view.
The bear is more than likely digging because it's not sure what to think of the humans and all the noise they are making. Bears usually have to be on high alert while eating to avoid their food being stolen. He's probably waiting for them to leave since they are neither engaging or disengaging on him from across the river.
True. I noticed in the second video the Grizzly had his hackles up along the back of his neck, like a dog one should be wary of. Thanks for watching.
Did he bury the kill to preserve it?
I think so, and to make it difficult for other predators to access his food larder. Thanks for watching.
Soil and water maybe like a refrigerator to keep the temperature lower.
Keeping the kill out of sight may make it less tempting for other carnivores to steal it.
All of that digging may be his way of marking out his claim like a deer tag.
I saw him slowly drown his prey. He utilized his endurance and power on this hunt, not speed.
This bear is so big and so dark, he could easily pass for an ussuri bear.
Yellowstone Bears range in color from almost light blonde to russets, and chocolate with many shades of brown and variable colors on the heads and necks.
@@bejudson1384 Thank you for the information I already knew. It is still unusual to see an inland grizzly that dark.
Actually, as I see you realized, I didn't know an all chocolate color is unusual. I should have thought about that, having seen many bears in the Park over the years, and not many this dark. Thanks.

I may be the only penguin living in Yellowstone. Most of us in the park get along but he has a poor reputation and this video only confirms it. Will share at the next council meeting.
Love the levity!
A bears has to eat! Many Humans kill millions of animals for food! It's very hard work in the wild! A good meal and a good sleep, this bear has earned it!'
