Of all the wolves in the Exhibit Pack, Malik is most likely found sunning himself on one of the rocks. Maybe it’s the 8 year old bones that are in need of radiant heat, or it’s possible that he is more relaxed being at a higher vantage point when it comes to dominance interactions. His photo this week shows a full threat display when Shadow has Grizzer in a submissive posture. The bond between the littermates is strong, Shadow rarely shows direct dominance towards Malik unless there’s a big chase, and Malik uses Shadow to help him assert some dominance.
