Shadow and Maya pinned Grizzer to the ground and after a period of time, let Grizzer up and he proceeded to run after Malik. When this type of behavior occurs, Grizzer tends to redirect to Malik. This observation is very telling to the rank order. . As you can see by Malik’s photo, he isn’t taking it lightly. Grizzer appears to be the second ranking male and Malik seems to be the lowest member of the pack. Fortunately for Malik, there’s not a focus of the whole pack on him, but just redirections from Grizzer. But this doesn’t mean he won’t try to take advantage of any of the pack mates when he gets a chance. Malik’s video shows that he can still wander the enclosure without constant dominance.
