grizzer – Nov 1, 2006 12:00 AM

This week’s log was written by “Workin’ for Wolves participants Mindy Stoe and Kristy Raines. Grizzer continues with attempts to assert dominance over Shadow and Malik. He was observed by wolf care staff and program participants in a raised-leg-urination – a behavior typical of a dominant wolf. Grizzer attempted to jump up on the viewing rock with Shadow, but Shadow asserted guarding behavior by baring his teeth and growling. Grizzer attempted direct eye contact with Shadow but Shadow averted his gaze. This week’s video clip shows Grizzer pawing at Shadow and showing aggressive arousal tail wags. He also joins in on a pack howl, notice he still maintains a juvenile voice.
