16 Bison Released Into the Rockies. When Wolves Showed Up, Trail Cameras Caught Everything
In February 2017, Parks Canada released 16 plains bison into Banff National Park's Panther Valley — the first wild bison to roam the Canadian Rockies in 140 years. But what happened next shocked everyone. Within months, remote trail cameras captured something scientists thought was impossible: wolves learning to hunt bison again after more than a century. This is the story of how 16 bison transformed a dead valley, restored a broken food chain, and brought back one of nature's most dramatic predator-prey relationships.
