Malik is the most vocally expressive wolf at the Center. Rarely does an observation occur without hearing a series of growls, snarls and protests from Malik, usually directed at Grizzer. While the vocalizations may sound intense, generally, the follow through is not. We can always tell cohesiveness of a pack when they do a ritualized greeting after a long rest. Usually, one of the wolves gets up, and makes the rounds to greet the other wolves. Malik is always a part of that ritual, and for a lower ranking wolf, his high tail confidence shows his comfort with his place in the pack.
