shadow – May 24, 2000 12:00 AM

Shadow is known as the red pup and Malik is known as the blue pup. May 24, 2000 The wolf pups continue to make great strides in their growth. The body length from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail is 18 1/2 inches for the red collared wolf and 18 3/4 inches for the blue one on May 24. They have begun to hear certain high pitched sounds which corresponds with their ears starting to stand up. They tend to play with each other more before feedings with one of the pups trying to dominate over the other to establish a social order within the litter. This "pecking order" will change constantly. The vocalizations have increased with the blue collared pup howling in response to whining noises by one of the handlers and the red collared pup growled for the first time on May 24. All of this development will serve the pups well in their struggle to survive.
