malik – Apr 6, 2009 12:00 AM

We know that the season is getting calmer when Malik stays in the front of the exhibit long enough to greet wolf care staff. This past weekend, Malik consumed a large quantity of the deer and was very content on Monday morning with a full stomach. While the wolf care staff were conducting an exhibit cleaning session, all the wolves went over to visit the retired enclosure. Initially, Malik didn't enter the holding area, but with a little meatball persuasion, he went in willingly. It is still critical that we don't isolate Malik from the pack, or he may receive redirected aggression from the pack, especially Grizzer.
