Nature is wild.

These creatures are out here fighting to survive, whether they are hunting or being hunted.

There’s no better place to see this sort of wild stuff than somewhere like Grand Teton National Park. It is home to a very healthy population of grizzly bears and lots of other animals too, like elk.
