    A guide has captured an “incredible scene” involving two male grizzly bears fighting over a bison carcass in Yellowstone National Park.

    “Drama at the dinner table!” Yellowstone Wolf Tracker exclaimed Thursday via Instagram, adding that a lone wolf closely witnessed the brawl. “907F, of the Junction Butte Pack, looks on as two male grizzly bears fight over the remains of a deceased bison.”

    The accompanying footage shows the bears shoving and swiping at each other, exchanging surprisingly swift blows as the wolf remains close to the carcass.

    The footage is in three parts on the swipe-through Instagram post. The second and third frames show a more peaceful coexistence between all three animals.

    The footage was captured through a spotting scope last week by Yellowstone Wolf Tracker guide Luke Jensen.

    According to Yellowstone National Park, 150 to 200 grizzly bears live within park boundaries, while an estimated 965 grizzly bears inhabit the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and northwest Montana.

    Grizzly bears and wolves rarely interact with each other except when potential food is involved.
