grizzer – Jun 19, 2004 12:00 AM

Grizz has been showing signs of wanting to go out of the pen in the mornings. He is very restless, whining, scratching at the walls under the window frame. He was distracted with ice cubes but only for seconds at a time. Grizz did well during the programs. He played tug-of-war with Maya with a beaver tail, and enjoyed chewing on some ice. Grizz also enjoyed being outside. He chased after Maya and Nyssa and greeted the artics well. He dug in his den and rested there. Grizz has been very aggressive toward the nannies and staff members. He is attracted to long hair and bites and tugs on it while growling. Flipping him over and dominating him seems to calm him down.
