The first thing you will realize when visiting Yellowstone National Park – aside from the astonishing beauty of nature and wildlife – is that you have entered an area that isn’t totally ruled by humans. A pair of visitors at the park recently recorded a video that proves this point, and it might make you feel a little uneasy..
As NBC Montana reports, Brandon Beshears captured and shared video of a wolf pack surrounding his truck while he was driving through the park one evening.
Check out the video from NBC Montana’s Facebook below (VOLUME UP TO HEAR THE PACK SOUND-OFF!):
A little creepy, right?
Notice the remainder of the pack in his rear view mirror? Yeah, talk a bad time to get out of your vehicle and mess with nature. We’ve seen it before though..
A lot of people have an infatuation with black wolves because of their exceptionally striking appearance, and you can’t blame them. If you’re like me, you never get tired learning about this incredible K-9’s!
Honest to Paws has an interesting article about the mysterious black wolves of Yellowstone, which details the history of these majestic looking animals.
Wow. Just absolutely mesmerizing. I’ve had some very unique wildlife encounters in my life, one like that would have to be up there with the best. Though meeting a full herd of wild elk in the woods in a might safer than these critters.
It’s like nature is getting back at us. Very interesting stuff.
And to think, some people in Colorado are begging for wolves to be reintroduced to their state. So man have forgotten why such predators were reduced in the first place.
Where wolf?
There wolf!
If you’re surrounded by the wolf pack, call in the Clemson tigers.
Okay, I’m going to bed.
So they danced with them,right?
Don’t watch the fictional movie, “Frozen”, about people trapped in a ski lift.
Someone has an unfortunate experience with wolves.
Saw a wolf in Yellowstone last summer. Watched it for a while thru a telephoto lens. Amazing sight. Crazy eyes.
Good thing they weren’t on a motorcycle.
These wolves aren’t in the ACC.

We were driving slowly on one of the roads when we became surrounded by a herd of bison. She thought the massive beasts were cute and wanted to know if she could roll down the window and pat one on the nose.
No, I told her, they could flip this car as easily as I could a wheelbarrow. Just wait them out.
After a long 20 minutes, they got bored and ambled off in another direction and we resumed our journey. I still tease her about that close encounter with wildlife.
“some people in Colorado are begging for wolves to be reintroduced to their state.”
Just because those hipster-doofus californiacs are in Colorado doesn’t mean it’s “their” state.
I read the other day they are already here in CO in the NW part of state. I understand the various concerns/interests people have, but I like wolves as a species.
I don’t get their DRIVING thru Yellowstone in winter. I’ve snowmobiled in Yellowstone twice. The summer roads become groomed snowmobile trails in winter. I never saw a regular wheeled vehicle in Yellowstone in winter. The snow is @$$ deep to an 8 foot indian. Something about the story seems to be missing.
Our claim to fame at Yellowstone .....multiple buffalo/bison crossing the main highway in the park and having them walk past the car, so close I could touch them
The cars sat there forever till the last one got across
They may have been expecting the people to throw human junk food out the windows.
