（单词翻译）

 We are here in Yellowstone National Park to follow some grey wolves and observe the deadly brilliance1 of the pack. They’ve learned to cooperate, hunting their prey2 with many acting3 as one pack.

 
This mother grizzly4 knows how to protect its cub5 and itself. Stand your ground. Don’t be intimidated6. Don’t let the grey wolves run you down. Grizzly mum stands up to the grey wolves. And eventually, they lose interest.
 
Stand up, hold your ground. Wolves know that large prey can be dangerous if they fight back. What the wolves want is to get their prey on the run. Like, for example this herd7 of elk8. Now the wolves can fan out over the herd, waiting for an old or sick or just unlucky elk to make a wrong move. The alpha male leads the hunt. He bides9 his time, directing his troops. And eventually, one elk stumbles.
 
The hungry wolves quickly surround their faltering10 victim. They swarm11 in for the kill, and then, the meal. Wolves are a vital part of a healthy Yellowstone echo-system. They filter out sick and weak animals in the herds12 and help scavengers survive but providing leftovers14 from their hunts. This coyote however is not a scavenger13 but also a competitor, who's been interfering15 with the kills of the pack.
 
So once again, the wolves use cooperation to guard their turf and drive out the intruder.
