maya – Jun 29, 2004 12:00 AM

Today Maya is 55 days old. Unlike Grizzer, Maya has been displaying very positive behavior towards unfamiliar stimuli such as large crowds and weedeaters. When the pup nannies are with the pups in the outside pen Maya often sleeps nearby and she enjoys a good belly scratch. Maya also tends to do very well during pup 101 programs in the International Wolf Center's auditorium. During the program she either sleeps or is interacting with her littermates. Maya's behavior also tends to dictate Nyssa's behavior. When Maya responds negatively to a given stimulus than Nyssa becomes bothered as well.
