Watch: Yellowstone Wolf Seen Walking Around Without Its Lower Jaw
From Outdoor Life:
Harrowing footage of wolf 1276F from Yellowstone’s Junction Butte pack emerged on Instagram on Oct. 4. In the video, captured by Yellowstone wildlife photographer Peggy Peregrine-Spear, the collared female wolf walks across a field sporting a brutal injury that claimed her lower jaw, leaving nothing but a thin piece of flesh behind.
“Her injury is possibly from a hunting encounter with either an elk or bison and is said to have happened around Sept 26,” Peregrine-Spear writes in the caption. “YNP is aware of her situation.”
