grizzer – Sep 24, 2007 12:00 AM

There was some tension in the pack last week as a load of rocks was delivered for the pond project, and the activity in the wolf yard created some anxiety in the holding pen. A few days later, when the wolves were in holding for some minor routine maintenance to the Exhibit, Grizzer came out of holding extremely agitated and started to redirect to Malik. This created a cascading effect as Malik tested Shadow, and Grizzer attempted to pin Shadow. Eventually, the focus returned to Malik. It is critical that all actions around the enclosure be as calm as possible. As the projects for the fall and spring are planned, this will be our top priority.
