Malik's having no issues with the abscess, the swelling that we had observed a week ago has subsided. He's an active eater and while we've noticed some tension between the Shadow and Malik, the stimulus appears to be guarding behavior of staff. Malik and Shadow have a preference for individual wolf care staff, often different individuals which reduces competition. But last week, Nancy Gibson was here for a visit, and as many of you may know, she bottle fed the Arctics, and the strongest bond is with those individuals that bottle-feed. Both Shadow and Malik were excited with the visit.
