For the most part, Malik has had a good winter. This may be due to the fact that, with the addition of Aidan and Denali to the Exhibit Pack, Grizzer’s attention is frequently on the pups when they are biting and grabbing at him and less on Malik. This is not to say that Grizzer is not exerting his dominance over Malik; he still does, as we can see through his body language and behaviors. However, Malik is quick to defend himself with lip curls, growls, and an unexpected nip when Grizzer is occupied with the pups.
