(wind whooshing)
00:02
Winter comes early to Yellowstone.
00:04
(wolves howling)
00:08
This is the season of the wolf.
00:13
While others battle the elements, wolves are in their prime.
00:20
Their success is tied to the collective strength of the pack.
00:25
(wind whooshing)
00:30
A curious adolescent named Blacktail.
00:33
Like many young males,
00:36
he's left behind the security of his pack.
00:39
Winter's wrath could be fatal for a lone wolf.
00:43
In this lean season, every meal is critical.
00:48
And hiding among the willows
00:52
is what looks like a perfect opportunity.
00:57
A wounded bull elk, half frozen at the water's edge.
01:02
A wolf pack would go straight for the kill.
01:08
But alone, Blacktail has almost no chance of taking it down.
01:15
He must wait until the bull gives out.
01:26
(gentle music)
01:29
But time is not in his favor.
01:33
Far across the valley, a legion is gathering.
01:38
The Wapiti Pack.
01:41
More than 20 wolves strong,
01:47
they travel in formation, searching for prey.
01:53
They follow the river unhurried
01:56
until in unison, they spot something.
01:59
The wounded elk.
02:06
Blacktail holds his ground in the meadow.
02:12
He can't afford to abandon this chance of a meal.
02:17
The Wapitis gather in the timber.
02:23
They're staging for an ambush,
02:24
just as night is falling.
02:28
The sun rises on what little remains of the old bull elk.
02:41
The Wapitis' night ambush was a success.
02:46
20 wolves fed on their prize and vanished,
02:51
leaving only scraps for ravens and coyotes.
02:54
Blacktail is nowhere to be seen.
