grizzer – Mar 21, 2005 12:00 AM

Grizzer has been much more workable for some handlers. It seems the warmer weather and the advancing spring has decreased some of the aggressive behavior in the enclosure. It is important for all staff and anyone observing these wolves to recognize that even though they are socialized, it doesn't mean that the wolves can't test a handler and attempt to take over their status. It's important to always remember that wolves are wolves, regardless of the captive management philosophy. In this week's photo, courtesy of an email by Cathy Jents, Grizzer is showing that sometimes wolves get so excited that they roll off of rocks.
