Shadow and Maya have a very strong bond with each other. On the first night after the medical exam, while Maya and Nyssa were held in an adjoining enclosure for recovery, Shadow frantically bark-howled and stayed next to the holding area all night long. Maya showed an equal amount of anxious behavior to return to […]
Denali is asserting more dominance and will likely increase in rank before the winter is over. The photo and video are from the same scene. It was initially started by Shadow howling, then Maya aggressively chased Aidan, then Grizzer went after Malik, then Shadow put an end to all the chaos by dominating Grizzer. Denali, […]
Grizzer displayed some interesting howling behavior. One day, when Oscar went for his morning walk, Grizzer stayed in the pack holding area howling until Oscar returned. It wasn't a stressed response, more of a low tone howl which ended with an excited tail wag and playbow when he saw Oscar again. His relaxation around the […]
Grizzer has been in an exceptionally good mood lately. He has had many bouts of racing through the enclosures, howling with the pack, play bowing to Oscar, and seeking comfort from the heat, wind and rain in the many protected areas in his habitat. We did notice some very subdued behavior from Grizzer earlier in […]
Written by "Pups at One Year" program participants Marcia Mummau and Dell Cameron: This week's photo shows the pack's dominant pair, Maya and Shadow, howling together on the greeting rock. Howling is one way wolves communicate with each other, and is used for a variety of purposes. In this case, Maya and Shadow howling together […]
Aidan is doing well, he is cleaning the bite on his shoulder which helps in the healing process. He's had an interesting week; Maya still has her moments, especially after a howling session. It appears that howling stimulates Maya to find Aidan and show him some status. Aidan's getting good at finding safety zones, areas […]
We haven't started bringing the pups into the Pack Holding Area, so Grizzer has a bit more time before his world is influenced by pup play sessions. We continue to see a lot of howling from Grizzer, generally, anytime the adults are active on either side of his enclosure, he gets involved. Originally, we had […]
Malik had a few holiday treats, beef and chicken, which he really enjoyed. He ate a large quantity, then cached the rest for later. He has been howling with the pack, the surveillance cameras recorded a daytime and nighttime howl. It doesn't seem mournful, just a rally with the social group. He still enjoys the […]
Grizzer is very excited when the pups are let out of the lab. At this time, we have gated off Grizzer's side so the pups stay near Aidan and Denali. As the pups get larger, they will have access to the entire yard similar to Oscar's territory. On several days a week, Grizzer will be […]
I came on on Monday after taking the weekend off and Grizzer was well on his way to shedding. When I brushed him, the undercoat come out in 8 inch sheets. It would be ideal for spinning. We usually save the wolf undercoat and make items from the fur. In the past, we've made things […]
