On the weekend of Sept. 19th - 20th, a large Grizzly Bear took down a Bull Elk in Yellowstone River just South of Canyon Village (Otter Creek area) and dragged it back to shore (   • Grizzly Kills Bull Elk In the Yellows...  . The large Grizzly nicknamed "Hercules" guarded and fed on his prized Elk up until later that week. Sometime around Thursday Sept. 24th or Friday Sept. 25th a new Grizzly Bear showed up on the scene and dug up the carcass from the shoreline and dragged it to the spot we see on my video. There, the new Grizzly Bear guarded and fed on what remained of the leftovers. On Saturday Sept. 26th, I arrived to the location early in the morning with my camera at the ready. While clicking off pictures and filming the new Grizzly protecting the carcass I noticed a another Grizzly Bear coming out of the woods from behind. Working it's way around to the river, then stealthily stalking in the river, the new Grizzly began to slowly test the other Grizzly's determination up until the confrontation in the river. A truly amazing experience to see this. I hope you enjoy watching it.

    I had the "amazing" opportunity to take the attack video and your video plays out scenes I pictured taking place in the dark of night in the days following. I'm glad you captured the fight and posted this high quality video to share! Thank you!

    I've never seen such dark black grizzlies.. I always heard they are out there, but this is first time seeing one that dark!

    I first watched BE Judson's video and then this one. Incredible footage. Love the sound of running water and singing birds, and then the raw energy of the fight, both visual and audio. Perfection!

    Awesome video, I’ve seen #791 on other carcasses. First time I shot video of him was in 2018, when he took a carcass over from the Wapiti Lake wolf pack. Well done!

    Thank you! I seen the first video when the original bear took the elk down! Amazing! This video is amazing too watching the bears fight over carcass. I also watched a video of a wolf trying to get close and that was awesome too. Nature and wild animals are just awesome. Love it. Thanks for sharing!

    No "free lunches" in Yellowstone. Excellent interaction of the grizzly bears. Plus, video camera operator had all the skills of a professional photographer.
