A young muskox
fended off the wolves
for 20 minutes before
going down. As One
Eye (far left) struggled
to bite and hold the
calf’s nose, the other
wolves attacked from
behind. This is how the
yearlings learn to kill,
generally targeting the
young, old, and sick.
The ravenous wolves
sometimes begin to
feed on their prey
before it’s dead.
