Most days, we find ourselves reporting on humans regretting their decision to chase, pet or otherwise get too close to big mammals in places like Yellowstone National Park – take the Wyoming hiker who recently tried to get a moose to pose for photos, for example. Today, however, it's one of Yellowstone's famous wolves that got too close for comfort.
In a video posted to Instagram by wildlife guide Bo Welden, which you can view below, a hungry wolf is seen chasing a solo elk. Though much larger than a wolf, elk make up most of Yellowstone's wolf population's prey in winter months.
