A rather large Black Bear boar shows up to Grizzly bison BBQ party with only a table for one. Not willing to back down the Black Bear runs the Grizzly off until he decides he might have the advantage and wits to take on the Black Bear. Watch through the end as another apex animal shows up for leftovers. Yellowstone National Park @Yellowstonewolves
OMFG!!! This is amazing footage! This is freaking insane footage!!! I do not believe there are too many recorded interactions between these bears in their natural habitat, extending over 10 min...AND, with a cameo by some poor, hungry bald eagle trying not to get too wet when a bear comes back! This vid capture should cannonize you in the annals of nature photographers and videographers!
Glad you enjoyed it, I have tons more to post too. I do wonder if I should post the entire video of this exchange for folks who want to see it. What do you think?
@@Yellowstonewolves I wasn't asked, but I vote yes lol 😁
No I appreciate you chiming in with that. It is good to know that people want to see it and I can do it. @@gmann1968
That Grizzly was the bear equivalent to Shaggy from Scooby do 😂
It was a cub
That's a young Grizzly, and one massive black bear.
Thank you for watching and commenting, very much appreciated. Much more to come too!
I was about to say that, because that black bear makes it look small
It’s a shame Yogi and Boo-boo couldn’t come to some agreement over dinner
That exactly I think too it young grizzly bear.
the grizzly was bigger
Only time I've ever seen a black bear stand up too, let alone run off a grizzly
That was my first time too. Who would have thought …
@@Yellowstonewolves Turning screen sideways in 2x readers, 🥸, it appeared that the black bear was an older, more mature bear than the grizzly-threatening his confidence, until eventually it didn‘t. Also the black bear was picking at it with much hesitation, maybe not so fresh.. 🤢🐻? Can we all just admire the dedication of the photography team, that beautiful river and those ginormous bold birds⁉️💙 Thank you‼️🇺🇸🌎👍🏽
@@BeegirlsHoneyHouse You are more than welcome and could be right. That BB may have thought I have eaten enough rotten meat.
Black bear must have been absolutely starving!
You must have seen a lot of these encounters. You're probably a wildlife biologist in Alaska. The hunting guide I met told me about a black bear that killed a grizzley, but he was only out in the field every day.
This is one of the mightiest looking male Black Bears I've seen, no wonder the Grizzly Bear was reluctant to battle him.
I agree - I bet that bear learned to not take lip from all of these grizzly kids in the hood.
Learn your biology folks. Male black bears regularly grow to 600-700lbs. In Pennsylvania, it's not uncommon for them to hit 800lbs. Yes, grizzlies are more fearsome, but it's not that unusual for healthy, well fed male black bears to grow nearly as large as grizzlies.
Once, by accident I was behind a bush and a rock and watched a Grizzly bear walk by on a hiking trail very close by. I used to comfort myself by imagining all the ways I would defend myself if attacked by a bear on a trail. As this bear passed by I realized it was so very much bigger than I'd imagined a big bear to be that there would be nothing I could do if attacked unless it couldn't stand the sound of high pitched whimpering and cursing. You shot this video from the right distance. The focus is sharp and the image clear without any shaking. Good job.
Thank you so much. I had something similar like that happen to me but it was just a black bear just walking by. I just posted a new video kzhead.info/sun/jaqJpLawooxjY30/bejne.html "The War Continues" this time Wolf-vs-Grizzly this one was fun to watch so I shortened it down for others to watch in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you again for commenting too!
Bear spray. That's what you do. If you are going to be where there are bears, carry bear spray and have it accessible at all times, not in your backpack. Bears are very fast, you will be in a lot of trouble before you ever get it out. Also, learn how to use it. 12-15 ft. Any more than that and you will be holding an empty can of spray when the bear reaches you. Again, bears are very fast. Stay safe
The black was older, and hungrier
@@MikeHanson No kidding. Have you seen the ski instructor that saves his group class by luring the brown bear down the ski slope? It instantly debunks the old canard of having an advantage going downhill compared to a bear due to their shorter front legs, haha. Without the skis, the guy would have been toast. An amazing example of a hero, and terrifying example of the persistence of a bear that has you in its sights.
Hahahaha 😂
You dont need to apologise, you did a fine job recording the event. Well done sir 👍
So nice of you, I really do appreciate that. Standing out there for hours with just a jacket and batteries, you can only control so much. Thank you again.
But they do sadly... or everyone would complain in the comments section!
Black bear was intelligent not only to approach first but almost like he’s done this before
I think you are right - he might be older and use to young grizzlies.
I've never seen a Grizzly run away from a Black Bear before, especially of equal size. Their temperament usually dominates the Black Bear. Looks like the Grizzly eventually figured out what he is and asserted himself, hah.
@waynzignordics - Very true, thank you for commenting and please do subscribe if you can. Much appreciated.
I also think the brown bear is a young one. If it were a dominant mature grizzly, it would not hesitate to run off the black bear.
I was thinking the same !!
The grizzly is most likely younger in thise case...
Some black bears are very aggressive and vicious. The Liard spring bear attack is one that comes to mind. If you don't know about it look into it. That was a black bear but that was pure vicious.
The largest black bear in history was killed in New Brunswick. This black bear weighed 1,100 pounds before dressing, and an estimated 902 pounds afterward and stood 7.9 feet tall. From 800 to 899 pounds, the largest black bears in history are impressive.
Wow that is impressive. I just saw a video of one in my friends front yard from his doorbell camera. It too was a really big BB. He doesn't have any fences but if he did I can't see that bear being able to climb them he was so fat and large.
killed and history are the operative words.
When?
Why do people have to kill such magnificent animals? Such a shame...
Where you getting info on biggest bear kill in Nb!!!?
03:58 That bald eagle is me at every work party I've ever been to. Shows up, has a couple of drinks, mingles with some of the other guests, and then takes off before things get weird.
LOL - that was good, but honestly me too. Little good happens at one of those after 9pm.
@@Yellowstonewolves amazing video, btw. I showed it to my 7 y/o daughter and she watched every second of it. (She's big into animals right now.) Thanks for posting.
Yes but, but the eagle does not need to get drunk.. ha. He sure was chill. Loved him😂
Very nice coverage! Never did I expect to see a Black Bear drive a Grizzly away from a bison carcass. It was an exceptionally big black bear and probably a young and inexperienced Grizzly, but it was still a surprise. This rarely happens. Actually, most bears-Grizzly and Black-don't like to fight, there is too much risk of serious injury when that happens. If they can accomplish driving away the other by posturing and intimidation they prefer that route. That Grizzly was young, but he never left the kill area. He kept posturing and pushing back on the Black Bear until the latter got the message-there was too much risk for him if he stayed. He got a few bites of bison, at the end of the day everyone got a taste. That's Nature.
Very true HowdyDoody. Thank you for watching and posting a comment! Have a great weekend and I will post more for you to watch.
@@Yellowstonewolves Good stuff, I have SUBSCRIBED.
Thank you.
@HowdyDoody.. Yeah I agree.. exceptionally large black bear and what looks like a nervous young grizzly and your point about them preferring not to risk injury by fighting fellow bears is a very good point!
Bears are marauding-bloodthirsty-Godless-killing-machines, by nature...lol
That is a rare thing to witness a Black bear actually to chase a Grizzly Bear from carrion it is eating!!! That is one tough Black bear!!!
I agree - first time I have seen in many years. Thank you so much for commenting too!
That black bear is very familiar with Grizzlies, came in got aggressive, knows they are kind of slow, got some meat, slinks off before the other bear realizes it might have weight advantage… he is healthy and big because he knows when to leave.
It would be different with a polar bear
How the hell do you know that? You dont
Kind of slow? Brown bears (grizzlies) run at 35mph. The same speed as a black bear. The advantage a black bears has it can climb trees where as the grizzly struggle with climbing though they can climb. Brown bears are extremely fast for their size. Kodiak bears who can weigh 1500 pounds can run 35-40mph.... Dam nightmare fuel.
I saw a bear up close for the first time (Glacier National) and have been binging bear related content since. Thanks for not ruining this video with music and just using text for commentary. Seems more genuine or real this way.
You bet! Thank you for watching and commenting. I do appreciate the feedback. I don't think too many people want to hear me rattle on about stuff during the videos. Thank you again Jeff!
I got to see a grizzly in near Banff last year. Fortunately, I was in a car. It slowly crossed the road about 20 feet in front of me. Just strolling in no particular hurry. They are big!
Yup - the wind noise showed the bleakness up there.
U deserve the like ❤ .. what i see two alfa bears
@@humaidalmakhmary8227 Probably right two boys being boys.
That grizzly sure had a lot of swagger coming down, but he still ran off😂
Yea he was trying out his best poker face.
By being bold and aggressive, the black bear made the grizzly retreat and think things over long enough to grab a quick meal. Sometimes, that's all that's needed. Declare victory and leave the field. Awesome footage.
I'm no bear expert but I've often seen that the key to repelling bears is to make them confuse by creating an illusion. I've seen hunters in group make loud aggressive noises with aggressivc posturing making the charging bear steer away confused, which I believe is a tactic which only works with people in groups. In this case, you explained it quite well.
Smart black bear,
Love how the Eagle is like i'm not in this😂
Very true. Thank you for watching and commenting, very much appreciated. Much more to come too!
Man that is a massive black bear. Great video!!!
Thank you so much, very much appreciated.
I really appreciate how you zoomed out at one point to emphasize just how far away you were from the bear. Too many tourists in Yellowstone ignore that requirement. Wonderful video, and that is magnificent video equipment to capture those images at that quality from that distance!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting! I never want to be the animals focus either, kinda destroys what I want to watch.
Very true! It also helped me gauge sizes better with a closer perspective. When I saw the size of that black bear, I wasn't sure just how young that grizzly was!
he did it exactly when i started to think how epic he is for going undetected by every animal involved
What camera and lens are you filming with please?@@Yellowstonewolves
" The closer you are to danger, the farther you are from harm. " - Pippin Took
Fascinating and extraordinary footage!! A Black Bear, a Grizzly, a Wolf, a Bald Eagle and a Murder of Crows all got a meal from this Bison - nothing wasted - just as our Native Americans and Mother Nature would want it! Thanks for a fabulous look at Nature in the Raw - had never seen a Bear 'mark its territory before - great video!!
Thank you so much.
@@Yellowstonewolves My sincere pleasure. Thank YOU for visually wiskng me to Yellowstone and sharing such a rare and WONDER-FULL glimpse of its beautiful ecosystem!
Well? 🧚🏽I suppose1st Timothy 4:4 is expedient too. On that note.I verily do suppose . I believe it’s probably correct to surmise that the grizzly gave up the fight because it wasn’t totally interested in eating the whole carcass. But maybe it did chicken out. Who knows? Regularly sloth bears defeat full grown tigers in fights. And tigers are much🤡 bigger then sloth bears. And lions have been known to defeat grizzlies too,. And wolverines as well. Even kill them. I know. I’ve checked many records. So maybe grizzlies are not as tough as some people surmise. O their tough when it comes to creatures they can easily kill. Sure. But when it comes to creatures that can actually fight? Despite their bigger size? Griazxlies don’t always win. Neither do polar bears and Kodiaks. That’s obvious. I know. I’ve researched this subject thoroughly. In fact, in many human records that are available? On this subject. Throughout the centuries? Wolverines , though much smaller? Have actually killed grizzlies Kodiak bears and polar bears . The wolverines long sharp jaws get a grip on the neck of the huge bears and then ferociously viciously hang on while the bear panics. Until the wolverines jaws sink into the bears jugular. Check historical facts. Many Inuit hunters and Eskimo hunters and native North American hunters have all testified in writings, over the centuries that they witnessed wolverines kill kodiaks grizzlies and polar bears. That way. Just do your research. And don’t be unaware of human history. Smart people check human facts like that. Pure and simple

"Native Americans?" Lol. Before they had arrived here and copied us, it was something the nomads had done for thousands of years before our discovery by the Europeans.
That is an unusually large black bear. The Grizzly was larger, but the black bear was big enough to make the Grizzly think about it.
Yea it was a pretty big bear. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Wow!, a black bear, a grizzly bear, a bald eagle, and an unkindness of ravens all feasting on a poor, dead bison. Nature is so interesting, and you captured it beautifully. Great video! Thank you.
Murder.
And a wolf topped it off
Those Ravens are actually the gentiles
Poor dead bison 🦬 😢
I think the black bear was an unusually large adult and the grizzly was not an adult, and possibly not hungry, which is why it backed off. BTW I worked four years in Grand Teton and one year in Yellowstone during which time I saw a few bears. I live in Northern California now, we have black bears but no grizzlies although there is one on our state flag because at the time the flag was designed there were grizzlies here, things have changed since then.
Brows - thank you for watching and sharing your past. Maybe the Grizzly will make a comeback in CA
I think the scent the grizzly put down had something to do with why the black bear left! Bears have exceptional noses.
I think that's exactly what we're seeing here. Grizzlies typically sh@t black bears after encounters.

@@lucylogan2446 You bet and thank you so much for the feedback.
Black bears are no joke. I live in the Smokies where we have the densest black bear population in America. In the last few years there have been 3 bears over 600 lbs harvested on every surrounding side of my property. Except the South side. And they have two on camera that will go over 600 lbs. I have hunted elk in Hawks Rest and have been up close to grizzly bears as well. I don’t want to get too close to any of them! I don’t trust them at all. They can flip on a switch from calm to ferocious in a heartbeat! Nice video!
@sirtango1 - Thank you for commenting and watching. I agree with you that Black bears are not a joke and like Grizzlies should always be treated as unpredictable. I spent my early years as a Navy trained DeepSea Diver and there was always one thing I kept in mind - the ocean is no joke and should always be respected. I think that same thing now about bears. Thank you again for sharing what you are seeing elsewhere too. Best.
I completely agree with you about black bears. I live in the northern Appalachians (the Catskills) and, while not as densely populated with black bears as the Smokies, it still has a healthy black bear population. I have come across a few males who were absolutely enormous.
@@Yellowstonewolves done a little diving myself with a little oxygen, nitrogen, helium, and argon. 😁 I think I have a record for smoking underwater! I used to smoke heavily. Popped up inside a lift bag and decided to have a cig. Dive master popped up inside to see if everything was okay and and about died laughing. He always ribbed me about that. I had an otter box that kept my smokes safe to about 100 feet or so. I love the ocean, but as you said it can be a very dangerous place! Take care!
@@sirtango1 Great story. My dive buddy I went through dive school with was a smoker. I did not realize the advantage he has until I starting thinking about stuff that was happening during shark week. He smoked so much his O2 demand / reflex was a lot lower than mine. I could get air first (since I really felt the need) and he was always calm about it. I did the fat/bat tower in Coronado so I can image a person smoking in something like that too.
I remember a news story a few years back of a black bear in Wisconsin going through a tent and ripping a Boy Scout out of his sleeping bag. Crazy stuff
The grizzly standing and checking for an ambush factor.Excellent video.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, that would have been interesting if another bear came in too. I had one surprise me and posted a video of it.
WOW... I never expected the grizzly to run from a black bear...
Me either really - in over a decade I have never seen them that close before let alone one charge the other.
Гризли явно совсем молодой, а черный медведь уже очень взрослый
Возможно, ты прав. Спасибо за комментарий и просмотр!@@user-rc6ws4xo4q
They appeared to be about the same size. The grizzly may have been young and inexperienced and the black bear was aggressive. The grizzly may not have been hungry enough to fight for a meal. There could be many reasons.
It was a very young grizzly not full grown... just making a point here.
A rather large and very healthy Black Bear I would say.
Thank you for watching and commenting, very much appreciated. Much more to come too!
I think that bald eagle and the crows were the real winners! Great video
I think so too! Thank you for watching and commenting @meinthewild312 , very much appreciated. Much more to come too!
Impressive video. That was one big black bear boar. Even when he left, the grizzly boar was standing up looking for him. Very impressive black bear boar. Let's hope he does a lot of breeding.
@goliac492 - thank you and my guess is he might be on the top of the pecking order. Have you seen the male in this video? kzhead.info/sun/g9uPnrtvmoyGna8/bejne.html

The birds were the real winners in this fight. You can really tell the difference in the body styles of the two bears, with the young grizzly already more back heavy and the large male black bear balanced front and back. That is a very impressive black bear.
This one didn't have many birds. kzhead.info/sun/mK-tdKx9q3VrnoU/bejne.htmlsi=nMauC7T1dt5t1oE2 and this one had tons. kzhead.info/sun/jaqJpLawooxjY30/bejne.htmlsi=FweKO-RncK1ruw-b
Black Bears Matter, I'm gonna just come right out and say it.....
Great video! Funny to watch the birds having a feast while the bears were wasting time being all macho. Amazing how the grizzly was throwing that carcass around and then it looked like he was sitting on it. Well done! Very enjoyable to watch from the safety of my living room. 😄
Thank you Rose. Many birds do make out the best sometimes. I will post more for you to watch soon so don’t forget to subscribe.
"Being Macho"? Do you think they get their food from a grocery store? Nothing "macho", why inject that sexist woke term?
thank you for watching and commenting.
Those bears aren't being macho; if the black bear had been able to get a hold of the grizzly he would have made every effort to kill it. Black bears are no match for a mature grizzly, so they would not pass up an opportunity to kill an immature grizzly before it comes of age.
Good point
❤ I was rooting for the Black Bear 🐻 🎉
Me too - but now people can see those bear have a angry streak to them too.
It seemed to me the black bear was a lot healthier then the grizzly. And it seemed the grizzly kept running away. Finally the black bear had enough like he wasn’t that hungry and said ahh you can have the rest. The grizzly seemed to only act tough after the Black bear decided to leave.
I think you are right the Grizzly was a bit immature and likely only his first or second spring alone.
Yeah that's it. You are a m o r o n
Nice work. Especially appreciate the captioning explaining things like scent-marking.
Glad you liked it and you are more than welcome. It’s not always easy and you only get one shot at catching it. Much more to post.

Two bears fight = crows win. Great video. I keep trying to figure out precisely why if two equal size brown and black bears square off, my money would be on the brown bear.
I agree with you. Those guys sure fight before they try to climb a tree! Thank you for commenting.
Great video. Black bear, Grizzly and a Wolf. Thank you. It is awesome.
@kcash6359 :O thank you so much, I do appreciate the comment as well!
Man, do you realize what you just caught on film? for all of us eternal searchers of bear on bear fights (in my case probably I've seen them all) this is a jewel. Needless to say what this means for biologists. This is a dream encounter to watch for all of us who are nuts about real fights between powerful big carnivores in the wild. This is the first time I see a real video of an encounter between a big male black and a big male brown bear in the wild!! There are a few other videos out there with the 2 species going at it but they are very likely staged by humans or are not worth it. This is cool as hell. There it goes the believe many of us always have had that a big male brown bear will always intimidate and displace no problem a big male blackie in an encounter for food or anything. Even though most of the times definitely this is the case, this video proves it's not always like that. There could be many factors here tho... maybe the blackie was older and more experienced and the brown was a younger adult? Maybe they already had an encounter before and the brown got a beating? maybe the blackie was full and that's why he retreated at the end? maybe it was just a huge brown female? (I don't think so tho) ... well, who knows. Regardless, congratulations brother!!! I'm telling you, I have seen them all... what you caught on film is gold!! one of the best on the internet in terms of the event. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you so much. I am very appreciative for all of the views, likes and comments. I have another video I will post soon of wolf and grizzly laying down together to eat a bison. I just have never seen them all that close before with food. I hope this video goes viral so I can pay some expenses! Thank you again @asterio8405 much appreciated.
Just a quick correction, the brown bear is not an adult. It is more likely a juvenile that is not brave enough to confront a very large black bear. An adult brown bear would have sent the black bear running to the woods in no time.
@@xico5208 That could be the case. I mentioned that in my comment. But that is just speculation. There's no way for you, unless you're such a bear expert, to be able to tell trough a video shot at that distance the sex, age, weight or the life history of the animals. Actually for what I see, the brown bear is bigger than the Black but, it doesn't matter. The thing is that the black bear did something very rare that normally doesn't happen in the wild and that's the important thing here... and it was caught on video and shared thanks to this channel!! At the end you say the black bear woud have fled if the brown would have been older. Again, you don't know how old is it and everyone here know browns normally displace black Bears so, your final comment is unnecesary. You sound more like a fan boy who got hurt that your guy had to run. We are just observing nature here and analyzing animal behavior son. This is not the UFC, just chill and enjoy nature.
@@med4u1Buddy, I don't want to sound snobby or anything like it I promise, but you need to be really into nature and in this case, really be into bears and study them to understand why this video is so special.
Hahah black bear was already full. Not exactly a proper encounter to contemplate on which is better. Grizzly runs away from female mooses all the time.
Amazing footage. I love how lumbering and deliberate the big ole black bear was!! Really rare to see this interaction. Thank you for sharing, you've got a new subscriber here!!
Thank you so much for subscribing. Some days ya just never know what will happen when I start watching and recording. So many times I have watched BB just walk by and avoid the other bears.

Impressive footage, especially over this long distance. Thank you for sharing! Watching from germany.
Glad you enjoyed it - I need more people from Europe to watch! I have only been to Germany twice. Much more video to come.
Hi to Germany, from Oregon US, an American with German heritage. I really enjoy it when people from different countries say where they are from. I always try to say hello to as many as I can, as so many disturbing things have been happening to people, around the world. And there is a fool that claims he's the president of the US, who's responsible for a lot of it. It's hard to accept such criminality from those who are without conscience and full of lies. I know it may sound cliche', but I hope "we the people" of the world can come together against criminals who steal leadership and become tyrants. It may seem like a strange, off the subject comment, but I promised someone dear to me I'd say something nice to someone today, and to try to do that everyday. As for the video, I find nature a pleasant way to take a break from the nonsense going on in the world, and just be amazed. It's always good to see and appreciate nature; simple, beautiful and without deception. May it give you a peaceful feeling in every way. I'm not sure if I'll ever get to see the homeland of my grandmother,who moved to the U.S. in the late 1920's early 1930's, but have many German friends and love the pictures they've shared with me. Stay blessed and well always, from my state and country to yours, 1000's of miles away~ Probst/Cheers!👍😎🍻🏞️🌄🌲
That Black bear didnt leave because the "Grizzly might fight him lol he left because he was full ,large adult male Black bears are nothing to mess with as this Grizzly knows already.
Shhh, your going to get the grizzly bear fanboys upset
@JimHaney-uc9ps I'm not a fan of either But the grizzly was a sub adult teenager most likely just out on his own.. The black was a stud male boar in his prime nothing to mess with
You guys are likely right - is was a large BB boar.
You guys are likely right - is was a large BB boar.
Wow! No apologies needed; that was great! The way the grizzly easily rolled the bison over is incredible! Any idea how big the grizzly is? And that black best was certainly no lightweight either!
I really don't but I do think it was a 4 year old. Maybe 5. Looks to big for 3 and it was too early in the year really for a 3 YO by him or her self. By 5 - 6 I bet it wouldn't have backeddown.
Black bear: to brown bear leave me alone man 😂 Brown bear: I was js wanting Bison nuggets
Black bear wasn't great at sharing.

I just posted a new video kzhead.info/sun/jaqJpLawooxjY30/bejne.html "The War Continues" this time Wolf-vs-Grizzly this one was fun to watch so I shortened it down for others to watch in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you again for commenting too!
So true people do not realize after polar bear bears and brown bears/Grizzlies, the Black bear is bigger than all of the other including their Asian black bear cousins.
@@sportsfisher9677 I hear Polar bears are really hard to record because they can see you and just head your way without fear many times. They scare me.
This black bear on the borderline of black and brown geological boundary is clearly a massive black bear and a winner.
Maybe I have never seen a DNA study on the bears in the park. thank you for watching and commenting.
Very interesting dynamic being displayed between 2 top predators... great video!
Thanks for watching and commenting Julio! I really do appreciate it and read each comment. Much more to post too.
Nice work,but I think the Ravens are getting more of the buff than the bears 😅
Yea they always seem to know where the best parties are. Thank you posting a comment.
You did just fine . Thank you and much Respect to you and your family . 🤠🖖♨️
I appreciate that cowboykelly - that does mean a lot. Do you have or work with cattle? If so it must be an amazing life.

Thanks for watching Cityboyoutdoors21, appreciate the comments too.
This is a rare moment when smaller bear makes grizzly run. Grizzly bears kill black bears as they are opportunistic omnivores, but this is one big black bear, possible fully grown male
I agree with you. In over a decade watching animals in the park I have never seen a black bear run off any grizzly. I think you are right is was a big black bear too. Thank you for watching and posting a comment.
Great footage! Seeing is believing. I've never even heard of a grizzly running from a black bear.
Grizzly bears aren't born fully grown you know. The means that there are juvenile grizzlies that have to fend for themselves and aren't yet fully grown. A fully grown grizzly might outweigh a black bear by a factor of two or more and no black bear would challenge them. A juvenile grizzly is still a bit smaller than a fully grown male black bear so it's not unusual for a fully grown black bear to drive a young "teenage" grizzly off.
@@dannyvalentino328That's what I was wondering about, and that makes sense, because there was a video here on KZhead where an adult grizzly decapitated a black bear, and fed off of it. That's why I was shocked, and wondered could it have been a juvenile,but it likely was, so what you're saying makes sense. Thanks for the comment.
Wow - I have not seen that video. That must have been some time back because now days KZhead would pull that video I think.
@doubleutee8867 - thank you, I have spent a lot of time in the park and these bear coming that close to each other is really rare to catch. I am sure they do many times that we don't get to watch.
@@YellowstonewolvesGo online and put in "Grizzly eats black bear in Banff". It happened in 2013.
Ahh, give that Brownie a couple of years, and the black bear will get paid back for this humiliation. :)
You might be right - next year the tables may have turned, thank you for commenting too.

Outstanding video! I'd asumed the black birds were vultures until you zoomed in.
Ravens for sure, they are smart and they call all their friends. Well I use them too. When I see a bunch together I know there is trouble close by.
Loved this video, both bears are amazing, but to watch the bears do this aggressive dance right down to the grizzly showing dominance by marking the territory was fantastic. Then that eagle was watching like “it’s about to get real here” and keeping an eye on the situation then flying off like “I’m out” I thought of Kevin Hart when when he was on the tonight show with Robert Irwin. 😂
Good point! LOL great comment. I needed that today. Thank you so much!
Good one.
Huh?
@user apparently you never watch Kevin Hart keeping an eye on animals when Robert Irwin brings them to Jimmy Fallon. Huh?
@@bitsyblack no I never watch late night simps.
I saw something similar one time. I had a 90 lb German Shepherd that was about 6 months old, and a pug puppy came from across the road, squeezed into my dog's pen and he, the GS retreated into his dog house! 🤣 I don't think the Grizzly is very old yet and he/she prolly doesn't know how top-shelf he/she is!
@vwsandvettes3253 - you are probably right. In a couple years I bet he charges into a fight. Thank you for commenting too.
Awesome video. And love the educational notes added throughout. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you! I have so much more to post too..
Must be a young Brown Bear because the adults have been viewing Black Bears as a food source themselves.
You might be right, thank you so much for commenting. It is much appreciated.
I'm not sure about what I'm looking at here. The most bad ass black bear that ever walked the face of the Earth, the wimpiest grizzly that ever walked the face of the Earth; or, both.
Good points - I don’t know either. Then again I would hate to meet either of them on a dark trail somewhere.
You did a Brilliant job! Thanks❣️
Thank you! 😊 that was a tough day - I was cold and blowing and the next morning it was light snow.
I love yellowstone an all of its inhabitants. I appreciate ur work an very jealous.Bless u an stay safe❤

Totally amazing great video. Love seeing n watching all u post . Keep up the amazing great work . Been to Yellowstone many of times n never seen any bears , if I did it would totally make me whole life. Thansk again .
@trudytrowbridge8268 Thank you! Will do! I will keep making videos for you.
Bald eagle just chillin’ on the rock 🦅😎
right so many eagles just wait and then fight the ravens.
Grizzly: F*ck around and find out BB: you right, you right
Thanks for watching and commenting.
You done good hot rod! I live way up high in the northern CO Rockies we have lots of black bears. They eradicated Grizzlies and Wolves decades ago and now they are reintroducing 25 wolves into Rocky Mountain National Park which is all around me but to the east.
I have never a person even being chased or threatened by a wolf in Yellowstone. I feel more comfortable around a wolf than a black bear. Hope the wolf introduction goes well, they are amazing animals.
@@Yellowstonewolves unless it is a pack of wolves. They hunt in packs. They have attached humans I’m with you when I go hiking I carry bear spray. I carry a Freon form which I think they hate more and I take a firearm.. that’s legal in Rocky Mountain national Park. Is it bad if it’s legal or not if I go to bear country or wolf country I’m gonna be packing a weapon. I’ll worry about the charges after I save my life.

Glad you enjoyed it Bill. Please do subscribe and I will most more video for you to watch.
Really Interesting part the big two encounter. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I will get a new video or two posted this weekend.
4:27 taking a moment to also appreciate the eagle getting a drink near the black bear seemingly uninterested. And 7:44 the 'stand' (to be sure). Wow.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting,
Please be careful out there. They come from all directions when a carcass is in the area. Filming one and another comes up right behind you, silently. Be aware. Keep a lot of viewable real estate behind you to give you time to react. The wind drowns a lot of noises, you have to constantly visually check. But thanks for this and glad you are ok.
Thanks for the info - and you don't have to be around a carcass... here was an encounter I had. kzhead.info/sun/ZLuzcceMmXaFlY0/bejne.html
@@Yellowstonewolves I’m sure that you know what you are doing. You do this all the time. I came across a carcass once and got the hell out of there. That was what my grandfather told me to do. Thanks for the extra video. Stay safe out there. All the bears I have encountered always ran away, so far. But I still respect them. Once they know where a carcass is, they no longer need the wind to find it. They will come from any direction.
what they ain't telling you is the grizzly ran from the black bear cuz he owed her $50 & a bottle of Hennessy.
And he was a really bad lover too.
Black bear males can be pretty large. They over-lap the Grizzly's size range. This particular Black bear was used to having things his way.
You are probably right. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Both look very healthy for Spring bears. Must have been a lot of winter die off this years.
There were a lot of carcasses around that spring - I just posted a new video kzhead.info/sun/jaqJpLawooxjY30/bejne.html "The War Continues" this time Wolf-vs-Grizzly this one was fun to watch so I shortened it down for others to watch in a reasonable amount of time.

Great video! With all my visits to Yellowstone I have yet to see a grizzly. What you caught with back bear, grizzly, bald eagle, then wolf is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I’m not a bear expert just love them, very interesting to see the interaction between the two. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it - thank you for watching and for commenting.
Impressive but it only happened because the Grizzly Bear is quite young and the male Black Bear is huge! Very cool to see none the less. 😍
He might be young. How old do you think he was?
My guess is that this particular grizzly is the dominant male in this area and the black bear is just passing through! A carcuss brought them together inevitably! Great video
Thank you so much Blackie. Do subscribe if you can. I have another vid of huge black boar to post too.
Subbed 😊
@@blackie1of4 Thank you my friend!
This is a fine video, well done, I'm now a new subscriber. 🐻

Have you seen this one? kzhead.info/sun/mtexXbGliXiHpqs/bejne.html
Loved it!@@Yellowstonewolves
Really excellent video. All through I was hoping the Grizz wouldn't call the BB's bluff bc the Grizz would have ripped him. Both animals put on great body language displays and bluff. Well done to catch this so clearly on video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it - I just never know what I will see where and if in time to catch it.
Another fact is yes the grizzly would kill the black bear but no animal wants to get injured in the process of killing. Many times larger animals will hesitate fighting a animal if it's not hungry and will wrist injury.

the black bear was too big and aggressive for the grizzly. it would have won
That’s a damn big black bear.
Yes it is. I was shocked by that too. Thank you for watching and commenting.
That was a pretty big black bear. He wasn't backing down for nothing
I think you are right, don't think it was his first lap around the park with grizzlies.
Great job on getting us close to the action. That was a good distance away.
Thanks 👍 I do really appreciate that. And thank you for commenting too!
This is a great video really enjoyed watching that. Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it Gordon. Much more to post and I do thank you for commenting as well.

I thought the grizzly bear was the most feared.Didnt know a black bear could stand up to obe and succeed in doing so
I agree - but I guess age and size really matter. Thank you for commenting too. Much appreciated.
Awesome video! Thx for explaining things! Love Yellowstone!
Thank you Marcie - that means a lot. Lot more video to post.

This was hilarious. And awesome. And interesting. And educational. I was surprised too that the grizzly ran off and then the black actually CHASED him off. How bizarre that it was the black who gave up tho. For awhile I thought the birds and raptors would eat it all while those 2 were futzing about lol. That gorgeous Eagle! Grizzly rubbing his butt scent on a rock. Yards away from the carcass😅 Guess it worked since black bear left. Wolf was the only one bothered by the feathered diners.🐺🐻🐦⬛🦅🦬 Thank you! Going to show the fam. This is priceless! Also subbed😎
Thank you so much Laura. That means a lot and welcome to the channel.
Well that was mighty nice of Grizzly to allow Black to get a few bites!!! Loved seeing the Bald Eagle, too! Excellent photography! Subscribed! ❤
Thank you so much Lauire - I very much appreciate that.
That’s a bad ass black bear
I agree - black bears can really be unpredictable too.
this black bear is huge and has balls!
Sure did. I had never seen that before myself either.
Bears scare the crap out of me ….thanks for your brilliant vid . Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it - I love Australia and been a few times. Such an amazing place. What city?
@@Yellowstonewolves I’m in the south east of Victoria with the beautiful high country in my backyard.

Only 30k subscribers? You deserve more than one million! What a nice footage. I have always loved bears, they are like the big tanks of nature. Thank you for this video and I hope that you make more about bears in the future. New subscriber.
Thank you so much 😀 - I will make many more videos for you. I am so glad you found the channel.
Wow! A bald eagle in the mix as well. Incredible footage!
That is a big fucking black bear. I doubt he'd ever met a bear bigger than him until this day.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. it was a big bear.
