Malik continues to have some intense growl response towards Grizzer, but with the warming weather and the peak of the hormonal surge behind us, Grizzer is less intense in responding to Malik's growls. Malik has been displaying some "foreleg stab" behaviors towards Grizzer. When Shadow is dominanting Grizzer and has him on the ground, Malik comes in and stabs at Grizzer with his foreleg. We will try to get this on video for the ethograms, as it is primarily a winter behavior. Malik usually gets a redirected response from Grizzer when Shadow lets him up.
