denali – Dec 3, 2010 12:00 AM

We need to constantly remind ourselves that Denali is two, and sometimes, young wolves are just young wolves. Grizzer was the same, the only difference is, Grizzer had a dominant active pack leader that never let the antics of a 2-year old escalate. Denali has reduced the intensity of his testing this past week, but it is the nature of wolves to seek opportunities. Fortunately, Grizzer won the challenge and with it, won some confidence to deal with the pack. Denali should improve in the upcoming year, and by the time the new pups arrive in 2012, Denali will have something else to occupy his exhuberant personality.
