Yellowstone's wild Wapiti Lake wolf pack killed a bull elk the previous night and, and after feeding until their bellies were bulging, retreated out of sight to digest their meal. At the end of the day, they came back for refills. The pack is 20 wolves strong, but at any one time there were a maximum of eight on the site. I imagine this is an adaptation that assures, should anything dire go wrong, not all the pack members are in danger at any one time - sort of like company executives traveling on separate planes, just in case.
This is a major crop, taken from a distance such that the wolves were not disturbed by the presence of photographers. There was no indication that if they even noticed us if they cared at all. They knew full well we weren't going to come take the elk away from them.
