malik – Jun 15, 2009 12:00 AM

Written by Planning For Pups program participants Jennifer Ell and Betty Magnuson: Malik was involved in the enclosure enrichment looking for bacon ice cubes and beaver feet popsicles placed around the enclosure. After the activity slowed down, while the other wolves continued to explore, Malik laid down by the fence by the wolf enclosure. At the What's For Dinner program, he was actively feeding when Grizzer directed some aggression towards him. As a result, he walked away from the carcass. He did return later to feed after Grizzer had left the carcass. This week's photo shows the pack coming out of the holding area for feeding. As you can see, Malik has a T3.5 tail position while the rest of the pack have T1 tail positions. While Malik is trying to figure out how he fits into the pack, it is evident that he is still an important member of the pack.
