For the second time this month a Yellowstone National Park tourist has captured footage showing a wolf biting a grizzly bear’s butt. In the first instance, in early September, the behavior was understandable because an elk carcass was nearby, according to photographer Gary Gaston, and wolves do not willingly share with grizzlies (or vice versa). That footage, showing the young wolf nipping the bear several times, occurred at daybreak at Crystal Creek, near Slough Creek.
