grizzer – Aug 26, 2011 12:00 AM

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 exhibit has created some very relaxed greetings with staff, but he does have his moments. He can get very excited and still has the desire to test individuals. Staff must never become complacent around wolves, even Grizzer.
