Malik is doing very well, and showing some high tail responses when the pack rallies. He is still a bit testing of Grizzer, but when Grizzer does chase, Malik displays the right body postures. A recent visit the Retired Enclosure showed strong interest in the new den by both Shadow and Malik. Grizzer is still a bit concerned about the den, but he has a few years before retirement. We are very watchful of Malik's situation, and will be keying into T-4 tail postures, his ability to feed on the carcass (of course, when Denali is satiated…), his willingness to participate in howling bouts and his sleeping associations. As of this posting, he is very much a part of the pack, and wants to be in the mix.
