I would guess he was killing elk calves, deer fawns, some deer. And if he got lucky, if he had a really deep snow winter, it's the advantage of the wolves because they've got big snowshoe feet. And elk, you know, punch through, they get little shark hooves. But he did well. Whatever he did, we don't know. We didn't follow him that long. We didn't pick up scats. It's just speculation.

I mean, they can kill a big elk, but they risk being killed every time they have to take a meal like that.

Yeah, I saw a video of a wolf from Yellowstone last year. It had been kicked in the jaw by an elk, and it had a broken jaw that was hanging. And a month later...

a month month and a half it was healed enough and it was in the process of killing another elk and and wolves came along and killed the wolf other wolves wasn't his own pack obviously but he survived that that's wow they're tough his jaw healed up and he got enough food while his jaw was healing yeah that's incredible i imagine he was scavenging around you know picking up on kills and whatever how is he even chewing

It's mind-boggling to me. You know, people think, oh, wolves can just kill it. Well, they can do whatever they want. They have a hard life.

They live in packs because they're not very efficient killers. You know, mulled lions, bears... they're a more efficient predator, especially a mountain lion.

And they got all the claws to hang on, but a wolf can only go with its teeth. And so it generally takes numerous wolves to successfully hunt an animal, especially something big like a moose or a bison.
