Malik has had a heightened level of interaction with the pack. He continues to show a hackle response if Shadow, Maya and Grizzer are interacting. He has proven to be quicker than any of the others in the pack, and typically runs in for a bite on Shadow while his back is turned to the young adults. Grizzer has been attempting to hold eye contact with Malik, but so far, Malik is ignoring him or growling at him and running. Shadow seems to take his brother's behavior in stride, with some chase or follow behaviors, but rarely with a hackle response, unless Malik makes contact with his teeth. This is the life of the male rank order.
