grizzer – Oct 25, 2004 12:00 AM

Grizzer was observed chewing on the window pane near the gate. Vermilion student worker, Laris Skujins distracted him with a bone, but noticed distinct teeth marks left on the window edge. Grizzer is definitely teething, with staff noticing more biting behavior when going into the pen. It seems to be worse on the days when there's a break in wolf care. On Saturday and Sunday, no staff are schedule to go into the wolf enclosure except to feed when the wolves are locked off. So, Monday morning checks are a bit more excitable with more Grizzer interactions. By mid-week, he settles down and is actually very calm when interacting with staff.
