grizzer – Jul 2, 2005 12:00 AM

This week has been very busy for the wolf care staff with the wolf ethology program, hence the delay in updating the wolf logs. With the Behind the Scenes participants and the wolf ethology students in the wolf yard, Grizzer tends to stay away from the fence due to his fear of new people. This is a good teaching moment for the wolf care staff, as it serves to remind us that wolves, by their innate nature, are shy & fearful of humans. To provide enclosure enrichment this week, blocks of ice with various items frozen in it (such as beaver, feathers, meat scraps, and a deer tail) were given to the wolves. This provided a distraction for Grizzer, and he seemed to enjoy the ice block with feathers that he had.
