denali – Jan 7, 2011 12:00 AM

In the past two days, we've seen a change in Denali. He is right at the fence greeting wolf care staff, whereas, even earlier in the week, he was more isolating, and only joining the pack when there was howling. He's also shown more interest in engaging Maya in activity, a behavior that is typically Aidan's. Grizzer is showing dominance, but nothing physical, it's more posturing and charging. This has Denali a bit nervous, but the less Denali runs, the less Grizzer chases. There are still times when activity peaks, generally late afternoons we can expect to see some posturing, but Denali and Aidan have been trading off on the straw beds near the pond, and are spending time together.
