These pics were taken in Fountain Flats, about 10 miles from Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park. The pictures were taken by Mike Tercek March 30 2005. He describes the event as follows:
The buff-griz encounter is one of the coolest things that
I have seen during the 15 years that I have lived in the park.
The pictures appear in chronological order. The bear walked across the
road in front of me and started chasing the buffalo herd across the
field. Eventually one of the bulls challenged the griz and ran him off.
The last picture shows how the bull and bear were running in parallel
circles around the herd, with the bull on the inside track.
