Drone pilot Dan Nystedt caught this amazing encounter near the outskirts of Sault Ste. Marie, in Northern Ontario.
A single wolf attacking an adult moose is very rare and a very high-risk move for the wolf who can easily be kicked or stomped to death. It may be that this is a young wolf that has literally bit off more than it can chew, or perhaps this moose suggested it was lame or diseased in some way not readily apparent from a drone's-eye view.

That is astonishing, I kept waiting to see the rest of the pack waiting on shore, and I could almost hear the drone operator praying to the gods of battery life and remote control range.
That is weird. A healthy moose would just leave. Why did the wolf tolerate the drone so close?
