"The two shared a glance that made time stand still" – watch tiny wolf pup bravely come face to face with bull elk

Touching scene of Gray Wolf mother with newborn pup.

Wolf pup season has arrived and Yellowstone National Park's newest residents are getting to know some of their mightiest neighbors. In a video shared by Yellowstone Wolf Tracker, a tiny wolf pup can be viewed emerging from its den to discover a massive bull elk standing just a few feet away.

The clip, which you can watch below, was posted on Instagram by Yellowstone Wolf Tracker, a company which offers guided wolf and wildlife watching tours. It shows the black pocket-sized pup "bravely" stepping out from its den and then coming to a standstill as it catches sight of the elk, which stops grazing and turns to stare at the wolf.
