grizzer – Mar 8, 2013 12:00 AM

Grizzer has become more animated in his actions with staff. His submissive roll overs to staff seem to predictably turn into a chase around the enclosure. But, while his staff interactions increase in social nature, we have noticed an increasing shyness towards strangers. We keep the wolf yard very protective to avoid disturbing the older animals who need their rest, but last summer we had months of activity as the pups were exploring the outdoor world. This may have impacted Grizzer more than we originally thought. We'll be working on this as we prepare for the spring Working for Wolves programs, summer Pups at One Year and Ethology programs.
