Red Paw is 29 days old today. One physical trait that is very noticeable in the video is the positioning of the ears. Red Paws ears are beginning to stand erect. Within a week, their ears will continue to raise until they are nearly fully erect. The pups can also focus their hearing better, and will direct their heads towards sounds. Red Paw continues to be the most interested and social with the adult wolves, wagging his tail with excitement when he gets near their enclosure. Both pups are lapping from a bowl and eating gruel mix, but Red Paw still likes to suckle from the bottle. Red Paw has a very impressive weight gain. At 29 days of age, Grizzer was 8.3 lbs, and he turned into a 110+ lb adult, so Red Paw is likely going to be a similar size, if not bigger. The audio clip attempts to get the sounds of two pups wrestling, you will hear pushing against the straw, growling and a snap. The video clip shows Red Paw playing with birch bark, and you will notice his ears are noticeably different than just a few days ago.
