I’m still awed by the scenario we encountered last week in Yellowstone National Park when a pack of Gray Wolves harassed a group of Bison, then killed one they had singled out, right before our eyes. A lone Coyote had the nerve, maybe I should say hubris, to skulk around the periphery but quickly made an exit when one of the Gray Wolves that had already consumed a meal of Bison, went up the ridge to make sure the interloping Coyote changed its mind about trying to access the kill site and left the area. The Gray Wolf’s steady gaze was enough to keep the Coyote going in the opposite direction of the kill.
