Hard to tell in such a short clip what is going on. Evidently, whoever first posted this is not a bear fan. With more footage, we might see an entirely different picture. But, with what is here, the actions of your "dominant wolf" was like a game of "slap the bull".... hit quick and run for your life.

How many wolves do you think would be enough to defeat a bear such as the one seen in the video?

Point is, numbers is a greater advantage that weight, strength, grappling ability, etc. To a point.... a clan of hyenas could never take down an elephant. But within reason - common sense - numbers is the best advantage. A pack of wolves, I will say from 6 or 7 and up could kill a big boar grizzly using teamwork. No member of the order Carnivora has greater skill at using team strategy than the grey wolf. However, a wolf pack cares about each other. This is why dogs are such great family protectors. The wolves know that there is a great risk of losing no less than one pack member should they attack a grizzly. The same probably hold true in Russia; why a tiger can displace a pack of wolves from his domain.

Also it is against the rules of proboards to post it here. Posting these videos can literally get the for to shut down. Furthermore, we wish for "The Domain of the Bears" to remain just that - a place focused on bears - where Lion vs Tiger is nowhere to be found.

/\ That is right brobear, the debate on tiger vs lion will kill the purpose of this forum which is a placed to be focused on bears. On my bird forum and even domain of the elephants both debates: tiger vs lion as well as bear bs cat topics are banned on these two forums.

Hungry wolf shows up on bear cams, scarfs dozens of fish
Alaska's Brooks River, home to the livestreaming bear cams, is the dominion of big, fat bears.
Yet early Saturday morning, when the waterfall where the bears feast was quiet, a gray wolf appeared on the cams and started pouncing on 4,500-calorie sockeye salmon. Bear cam viewers — who are global, devoted, and passionate documenters of all that happens on the explore.org cameras — watched the wolf snag and scarf bounties of fish.
"The bear cam viewers counted the wolf catching about 30 fish," Mike Fitz, the resident naturalist for explore.org and a former park ranger at Katmai, told Mashable. "Without the cams we wouldn't have known it."
Wolves are spotted around Katmai National Park and Preserve, but Fitz had never seen a wolf fishing at the falls for a long time, in this case some three hours. Though a rare sighting there, a wolf exploiting a river teeming with salmon, without the immediate threat of bears, makes sense.
"Bears and wolves compete for many of the same resources," explained Fitz.
"It's talking about turning a large part of Alaska into an industrial mining district," Alaskan bear-viewing guide Drew Hamilton, who is the former assistant manager of Alaska's bear-filled McNeil River State Game Sanctuary and Refuge, told Mashable last year.
Just impacting one section of the Bristol Bay watershed may have detrimental effects to the salmon populations on which the fat bears and gray wolves depend, recent research has shown.
For now, Katmai remains one of the last pure, untrammeled wilds left on Earth.
"Katmai is a symbol of ecosystem health," said Fitz.

BADASS MAMA GRIZZLY STANDS UP TO A PACK OF WOLVES HARASSING HER CUBS. (VIDEO INSIDE LINK)
Whenever there’s a bear story, chances are we’re on the bear’s side.
That’s because the bear usually seems to be the victim of something stupid that a human does.
Bears don’t like to be surprised. But time and time again this summer, bears have reacted instinctively because humans surprised them.
Then, many times, humans kill the bears because of mistakes humans made.
As an example, somebody leaves food out at a campsite. A bear gets used to grazing on that food. If the behavior continues (and why wouldn’t it), then wildlife agencies put down the bear.
Thankfully, in this story, there are no stupid humans.
Taylor Bland is a wildlife guide at Yellowstone Wolf Tracker. The company describes itself as a “wildlife adventure company.”
The company explains that their speciality is wolf and bear-watching. Because all of their guides are experienced wildlife biologists, chances are they won’t be the subject of a bear mauling — which is a nice bonus for 2020.
Bland was out on a safari in Yellowstone where she filmed what she called “the most epic bear-wolf interaction [she’s] ever seen.”
It is magnificent footage and we can’t help root for the mama grizzly bear as the pack of wolves seem intent making one of her cubs their prey.
Thankfully, the grizzly won and her cubs were safe. As a nice bonus, nothing happened to the wolves either.
“Epic day in Yellowstone, as usual,” Bland writes.

Reply 221. Not a surprise to me. It shows a female grizzly is willing to defend her cubs till death.

Reply #261: wow, great find brobear, that is new. So we have videos of grizzlies displacing wolf packs of 14 members and now 20 members. And we also have an account of a grizzly that fended off 24 wolves if i remember correctly.

For a minute though it looked like the pack when they were all together may have pestered the bear enough to have him on the run a little bit. But he stood his ground at the end and the wolves started to loose interest in trying to drive him away. Free meal is a free meal when you're the biggest bully in the neighborhood. Now.... Hypothetically if we replaced the Grizzly with a Male Lion (in his prime), would the end result be the same as the Grizzly?

We all know that realistically, 20 wolves could kill any bear. If you have ever seen a real wolf; those guys look bigger in person that on a movie screen. But wolves are very loyal creatures. A wolf is dedicated to the pack and values each pack member ( thus we have loyal dogs ). To kill a grizzly, it is just about inevitable that one or more wolves will be killed in doing so. For a wolf-pack, that price is too heavy. For a clan of hyenas... ?

Perhaps a lion might receive the same treatment. Not really sure.

They're not cave lions. There may possibly be enough elk, moose, and bison to sustain a couple of lion prides - maybe. This would knock the grizzly down a peg on the totem pole. It's like a game of rocks, scissors, paper / numbers beat muscle. *Edit and add: I believe that tigers would fare better.

Likely. They're solitary predators. It would likely be similar to tigers and bears in Siberia. Cougars would be viewed as just another leopard to the tiger.
