The pack interactions with Malik have been pretty calm lately, right now the tension is Maya and Aidan, which sets Grizzer to follow Malik, but not too much other than that. Even though Malik is the bottom of the rank order at this time, he is still able to get his fair share of food. There have been times when he feeds right with Denali, not an easy task. Malik still has his moments of testing Grizzer, especially if Shadow is actively dominating Grizzer, but that's a wolf. There's always the instinct to be an opportunist, and that is the best way to describe Malik. One note to all wolf log readers, we are experiencing some difficulty with video editing software. The curator has purchased a new computer and an upgrade of software, but it may not be arriving for a few days. Please be patient, we know the importance of the video, and will solve it before the next YouTube is due on September 1st. In the meantime, a podcast is being produced today, discussing the behavioral observations of the summer Ethology and Pups at One Year participants.
