denali – Oct 5, 2009 12:00 AM

Denali continues to be the stimulator of wrestling behavior, with many short bursts of chasing around the enclosure. He has increased his activity dramatically since the cooler weather arrived, and continues to interact with Grizzer. It's interesting to watch more mature behaviors develop, he has become much more skilled at posturing, and using his body to block other wolves. He is attempting to use direct eye contact as a testing behavior, but his juvenile mind is easily distracted, and he doesn't hold the stare very long.
