Malik recently killed a chipmunk in the enclosure and brought it over to the puppy gate. He didn't eat it, but proceeded to scent roll on the carcass. Maya became very stimulated with this behavior and intently watched Malik. Malik seems to be more interested in play behavior with the pups, and shows less whining behavior toward the pups than Shadow. He is often at the chainlink fence, rubbing his body against the fence while the pups run along with him on the other side of the chainlink. Malik will attempt to put a paw through the gate to touch the pups while they are on their way to the daily programs.
