After years of photographing wolves and grizzly bears separately in Alaska and Canada, wildlife photographer Jim Robertson happened upon a rare interaction between the two species last spring in Yellowstone National Park. He has dramatic new photos documenting a grizzly laying claim to a wolf kill, and several wolves each trying to drive him off. Out of his respect for the animals, Jim does not photograph captive subjects who were bred for use as models or entertainment. His images are of animals in the wild, in their habitats and on their terms, capturing their natural personalities and behaviors.
