Wolf Attacking Bull Elk in Water

Looking at the photo below, it appears the wolf has his feet on the ground while in the water. Generally speaking elk, moose and deer seek refuge in the water as it becomes next to impossible for wolves to attack and kill prey if the wolves are having to “swim” in the water.

The photo was sent to me in my email without any information as to who took the photo or where it was taken so I can’t credit the photographer.
