Abstract
Pursuit of Bison by Wolves was studied in conjunction with predator-pr ey studies in Wood Buffalo National Park. The average distance of chas es was 4.9 km. This paper describes an unusual chase that was observed when a herd fled for 4.3 km before a calf was killed, then continued to run another 81.5 km within a 24-h period.
