grizzer – Apr 22, 2011 12:00 AM

Grizzer has been very playful this past week. He really seems to enjoy fresh snowfall and does a behavior called a snowplow. Basically a snowplow is putting one's nose to the ground and pushing snow (sometimes they have their front legs down and are walking with their back legs), sometimes, as in Grizzer's case, they are pushing snow while on their backs. Grizzer almost looks like he's making snow angels. We also see a lot of playbows and chases with wolf care staff (no, we don't chase, but Grizzer invites a chase by running around the enclosure). We are moving forward with an increase to his habitat. A tree removal company will be starting the process of hazard tree removal in the new fence line area and then fence construction will begin.
