### Brown Bear Attack on a Wolf Den
* 🐻 A **wolf den**, previously inhabited by a fox, was discovered, housing a pair of adult wolves and their six pups (10-12 weeks old).
* 🐺 The den had been enlarged by the wolves to accommodate the growing family.
* 🐻‍❄️ A brown bear attacked the den, digging for approximately **half an hour** to reach the wolf pups.
* 🐺 After the bear left, the adult wolves returned, appearing frightened, and briefly inspected the den before leaving.
* 🐺 The parents only returned to the den at night, repeatedly visiting in an attempt to retrieve their pups.
* 🎥 The cameras were positioned at a safe distance and height to avoid disturbing the wolves' natural behavior.
* 🐺 The wolves' **persistent nighttime visits** highlight their determination to care for their young, despite the traumatic event.
* 🐻‍❄️ This event showcases the **brutal reality of nature**, where even apex predators like wolves are vulnerable to attacks from other powerful animals.

Wolves fiercely protected their six pups despite a bear's attack.

Nous avons découvert une tanière occupée par un couple de loups. Cette tanière était occupée préalablement par un renard, mais avait été agrandie par les loups.

À l’intérieur de la tanière, il y avait six louveteaux âgés de 10 à 12 semaines.

L’ours a découvert cette tanière et a commencé à la creuser, afin d’en extirper les louveteaux. Cela lui a pris environ une demi-heure.

Lorsque l’ours a quitté les lieux, les parents loups sont arrivés.

Ils semblaient effrayés. Après une inspection timide de la tanière, ils quittèrent les lieux.

Ils ne sont revenus qu'à la nuit. Ils n'ont alors pas cessé de visiter la tanière les nuits suivantes, afin de tenter de retrouver leurs petits.

Nos caméras étaient disposées à la plus longue distance possible de la tanière, et assez haut pour ne pas être visualisées par les loups et ne pas les perturber dans leur vie.

Brown bear attack on a wolf den

Naust Eco Station

Discovery of a wolf den and its inhabitants.

A wolf den, previously a fox den, was found occupied by a wolf pair.

Six wolf pups, aged 10-12 weeks, were inside the den.

A brown bear discovered and dug into the den, attempting to extract the pups.

This process took approximately half an hour.

Wolf parents' reaction and subsequent behavior.

The wolf parents arrived after the bear left.

They appeared scared and briefly inspected the den before leaving.

They returned only at night and continued to visit the den nightly, presumably searching for their pups.

Camera placement and observation methods.

Cameras were positioned at a maximum distance and height to avoid detection and disturbance.
