Malik is really starting to put on winter weight, likely in response to taking some of Shadow's daily feeding. Shadow is still a very temperamental eater, which means we sometimes need to feed Malik with Shadow, as Shadow is more stimulated to eat when he competes with Malik. The only new stimulus for the pack was the draining of the pond, the weather is getting colder now, and we don't want the older animals taking a dip and having some stiff joints. There was another dead raven in the enclosure on Monday, based on the amount of focus Malik places on the raven's when they fly over, he is probably the one who catches them.
