malik – Jul 15, 2007 12:00 AM

Written by program participants Charlie and Sierra Stearns: On Saturday, while Shadow and Grizzer were involved in a dominance challenge, Malik circled around the enclosure in order to stay out of the fray. Throughout the weekend, Malik frequently came close to the observation windows and showed interest in the people inside the auditorium. Malik continues to aknowledge his lower status compared to Grizzer. He spent most of the weekend laying on the greeting rock as if "posing" for pictures.
