grizzer – Dec 9, 2011 12:00 AM

Grizzer has a pattern of getting excited when wolf care staff enter the enclosure, he is actually increasing his speed an agility, which is not typical as a wolf ages. The only concern we have is that the lack of snow has created some icy conditions, but his toenails are very effective at gripping the dirt and making pretty tight turns. When you work with a wolf over time, you get to learn their personality quirks. Grizzer has many expressions that he shows towards the wolf care staff. This week's photo is one of those classic views. I'm not sure why, but he certainly seemed to question the actions of the wolf care staff.
