grizzer – Feb 2, 2009 12:00 AM

As I wrote last week, when wolf care staff did a check on the pack last Sunday morning, they discovered Grizzer had a bloody ear. There was no tension in the pack, so the likely cause wasn't aggressive, although the feeding the night before was quite active, with the pack devouring a deer carcass. Well, Grizzer healed well and continues to solicit attention from the pups. To keep the pups occupied, last week was a buffet table of food. Chicken was fed on Sunday, 50 lbs of beef on Monday, a beaver on Tuesday and a deer head on Wednesday worked well to keep the pups active and tugging on food resources, rather than Grizzer's ear. The warming trend also helped in attitude, even the wolves get sick of – 20 below weather.
