denali – Sep 10, 2010 12:00 AM

We've certainly observed a different side of Denali in the last several weeks. A once gregarious wolf that tested everything and everyone one, is now more intimidated and quite nervous about engaging in behavior, particularly with Grizzer. There still seems to be a drive to test, but his confidence seems to be lacking. The interesting thing is that Grizzer is doing this intimidation with very little physical contact, the dominance is primarily though body language, which probably makes Denali more nervous.
