Malik has been using this prolactin calming period to gain some status over Grizzer. It is likely to be short-lived, but it is classic wolf behavior to exploit a weakness. Malik seems to be the least interested in the pups, of course, that doesn't mean he won't accept them, and we are not concerned about it since Shadow and Maya are so attached. This week's photo shows Malik in high tail as he jumps on the greeting rock where Grizzer was sleeping, the follow up picture is posted in Grizzer's log, where Grizzer averts his gaze and eventually gives the rock space to Malik.
