Yellowstone Wolf Directory

[TheNormalGuy]

"In April 1997, members of the Crystal Creek Pack killed an adult cow bison on Pelican Creek, the first known bison kill by Yellowstone wolves. The severe winter likely contributed to the vulnerability of bison, which otherwise have appeared immune to wolf predation. But the next day a grizzly bear usurped possession of the carcass, guarding it until it was consumed. "

Another bison calf was killed in April by the Nez Perce wolves 1997.

Bison counted for 2 of the 257 known wolf kill of 1997.
