Denali is interesting to watch, unless you are one of the focuses of his many tests. For wolf care staff, a test can be a wolf jumping up, pushing or grabbing. This is discouraged, and generally doesn't occur, with the exception of younger wolves (let's say 2 year olds), that think they can test everything and anything. Wolf Care staff must always be alert to the fact that any wolf can test, but 2 year olds are more likely to find a place to practice rank order issues. In this week's photo, Grizzer is the focus of Denali's stand over and testing.
