grizzer – Aug 17, 2009 12:00 AM

Staff have really noticed Grizzer's docile behavior lately. At first we thought it was just the response to the heat that he was more lethargic, but as the temperatures return to a normal Minnesota morning (upper 50's), he is still very docile. Maya has been extremely dominant with him lately, but he does nothing to return the behavior. Grizzer is showing more shyness towards changes in the enclosure. The new den in retirement is still an issue, although video this week shows him at least stretching to sniff it.
