grizzer – Mar 25, 2011 12:00 AM

Grizzer's howls continue, but can be best correlated with wolf care staff leaving the enclosure or when staffing has less hours dedicated to wolf care on site. He is very relaxed with wolf care staff in the enclosure and is receiving daily powder to his head to increase healing and willingly allows wolf care staff to clean the area. He received a bit of a trim of his hair today and had no problem with the scissors. His eating patterns are unique, as he seems to only consume chicken legs or wings, leaving the thigh and breast meat. In recent feedings of deer legs, he seems reluctant to consume large quantities of meat. We did discover this with Lakota and Malik when they were alone, it appears that the lack of competition for food might influence their behavior. Grizzer gets chicken on a daily basis and still gets small carcasses, even though they might not be consumed. We are waiting for spring melt to layout Grizzer's new habitat and hope to have ground breaking by mid-May.
