Grizzer – Foliage Extraordinaire

Keeping wolves in holding for several hours means that Grizzer was separated in retirement during the entirety of the exam. Each wolf has their own way to deal with stress, Grizzer’s just happens to be foliage removal. One of the birch trees near the front gate of retirement was the victim of one of these outbursts, and was knocked down (again). Wolf care staff placed it upright again after Grizzer was allowed back into his enclosure (The roots somehow survived both tear-downs).
