malik – Jun 18, 2010 12:00 AM

It's the start of the 25th anniversary celebration weekend, and the Youtube Posting will be delayed until Monday to show some of the weekend events. Malik has had a busy week. While staff cleaned his pond, he managed to grab the garden hose and make a run with about 30 feet of hose, breaking off 2 newly planted trees. Then, after the hose was secured, he managed to steal the curator's water bottle. These possession issues seem to be more common with single animals, Lakota did the same thing in retirement. It may just be that social nature of wolves inviting chase behavior. Regardless, Malik was very active, in high tail and showing confident ear postures.
