While the Lamar Canyon pack (5 wolves) attempted to hunt a bison calf one of the adult males, Dark Black, or 993M now that he is collared, was scooped up by a bison cow’s horn. The wolf was then somersaulted, with his legs and tail well above the bison’s head, and then thrown to the ground where he skidded several feet before jumping up and resuming the hunt. Watch closely after Dark Black is tossed to the ground and you will notice that the second cow charges him. If the wolf had not immediately gotten to his feet he would most likely have been gored or trampled to death.
As it is, Dark Black, escaped this harrowing ordeal with no visible injuries, although he appeared stiff and sore for a couple of days afterwards.
People who have watched wolves from two decades said that this incident between the wolf and the bison was the most amazing thing that they had ever witnessed. Particularly since the wolf survived.
The hunt attempt on the bison calf was unsuccessful but the pack did have an elk carcass the following morning.
