maya – Oct 18, 2004 12:00 AM

Maya seems very content with her role in the pack. Several times throughout the day, she seems to find herself on the bottom of a Grizzer, Nyssa pile. She seems to willingly take their grief and jaw spars back with them. She's very exploratory in the enclosure. The other day, one of the wolves (not sure who) injured a Raven during the night. The Raven had managed to fly to a branch on the white pine in the front of the exhibit. It sat up there through the night (there was a group observing) and throughout the 8 am wolf check. Maya and Shadow sat at the base of the tree watching the Raven. By around 9 am , Shadow was observed running from the tree with the Raven in his mouth. It must have fallen out of the tree. A short time later, Maya ran into the woods, a scuffle was heard, and she came back with the Raven. She defended it from all the wolves, and took it into the den to guard.
