“Epic Yellowstone: Return of the Predators” – Seeing Yellowstone through the eyes of wolves, pumas and other predators

Gray Wolf and winter snow

Wolves. Grizzlies. Mountain lions. Yellowstone National Park is full of natural predators — animals that help keep the area’s fragile ecosystem in balance.

But past wildlife management reduced their numbers, triggering a cascade of unintended consequences through the park. Without natural predators to reduce their numbers, animals such as elk flourished in Yellowstone. They ravaged delicate wildlife with winter browsing and reduced habitat for other animals, such as beavers and birds.

In recent years, however, predators’ numbers have soared. The documentary “Epic Yellowstone: Return of the Predators” sees the park through their eyes.
