Shadow has been very calm lately. It probably has a lot to do with Grizzer being occupied mid week by a beaver or two. One thing that is noticeable about Shadow as the dominant animal, he has a calm personality, he is social but assertive when necessary. Malik gets anxious and spends a significant amount of time in a ruffled state (hackles up…) Shadow always appears to be in control. In this week’s video for Shadow, you will notice one specific wolf social rule… Possession is based on who is on a carcass, not based on who is more dominant. Any pack member, regardless of rank can guard food from another pack member, as long as they maintain possession. Grizzer demonstrates this in Shadow’s video clip.
