denali – Mar 12, 2010 12:00 AM

Denali hasn't had any notable behaviors this week; He's the same easy going, food is a priority wolf that has defined his pup and juvenile traits. His interactions with Grizzer continue to be social, and his tolerance for Maya's dominance seems to be declining. He is quick to do a grab bite on Maya when she's showing dominance over Aidan, and that has created an adversarial role between these two. Denali clearly sees Shadow as higher ranking and has many submissive postures in his presence, but a scuffle over a deer leg on Thursday, left Denali with a leg and Shadow with frustration that he redirected toward Grizzer. Food possession is about who is on top of the food, not about dominance rank.
