malik – Aug 12, 2004 12:00 AM

Malik was very playful with the pups during the morning hours. At one point he ran down from the den and all the pups followed him and he then flopped down near the pond and submissively pawed at the pups. Malik did show some interest in the beaver carcass the pups were feeding on, but he did not disturb them and left the carcass alone. At one point during the day Malik gave chase to Maya and pinned her down for several seconds where he nibbled her genital region and stomach without harming her. As fall approaches and the Curator goes back to full-time employment at the college, wolf logs will be posted only once a week.
