This is from a showdown between a young grizzly boar and the Wapiti Lake wolf pack over an elk carcass at Otter Creek in Yellowstone:

Wow! Outstanding. So how did it turn out? More photos, please, assuming you stayed for how it subsequently evolved.

No more photos to be had. The wolf kept chasing the grizzly away---it was a young bear and not very confident. For a while, they shared the carcass and then finally the wolf got impatient and tried to run the grizzly off again. The grizzly suddenly seemed to realize, "Hey, I'm a grizzly," and didn't budge, so the wolf gave up and left.

All the while, the birds kept eating, goes to shew that the ones who keep quiet profit the most.

Oh, when there's no rival apex predator around, the bear or wolf on a carcass will go after the ravens as well.
