A tour company that operates in Yellowstone National Park has shared footage showing two wolves chasing a bear up a tree.
“Black bear wanders into the wrong neighborhood,” Yellowstone Wolf Tracker wrote this week on Instagram.
The footage, captured by a Wolf Tracker guide, shows the bear leaping onto the tree and scrambling several feet up to escape the older male wolves. (If footage doesn’t appear below, click here.)

If viewers swipe to the the second clip they’ll see one of the wolves baring its teeth.

A commenter asked if the bear or wolves were hurt during the confrontation and Wolf Tracker responded: “All okay! Just some friendly disagreements.”
The disagreement began when the bear approached the wolves’ freshly killed bison. “They chased and harassed this bear up the same tree for close to half an hour!” Wolf Tracker wrote.
The wolves belong to the Junction Butte Pack, which roams the park’s northern range.
