grizzer – May 16, 2006 12:00 AM

Grizzer is starting to mellow with age. He still has a few testing moments with staff when the staff are occupied with other tasks (such as the curator when she's photographing the wolves and not watching Grizzer). He showed a great tolerance for his recent vaccinations, standing motionless for both subQ injections. Shedding has begun in the Exhibit Pack with Grizzer shedding the most. During this time of year, signs of wild wolf shedding in present in the forests surrounding Ely, wild wolves rub up against some vegetation, leaving a tuft of shed hair.
