The fall and winter months bring a change in the behavior of the wolves. In addition to increased play behaviors, there are also heightened dominance interactions between the wolves, especially between Shadow and Malik, the male arctics. However, as Grizzer is fully maturing into a young adult, we expect to see dominance interactions with him as well. In this photo, you can see Shadow giving direct eye contact to Malik, who is averting Shadow's gaze.
