Malik had a good week of calm, relaxed behavior, but the change in weather has created some increase in posturing for the pack. Grizzer has been intently eye-staring towards Malik, a definite sign of dominance. While Malik was doing a squat urination, Grizzer rested his chin on Malik during the whole urination, another sign of dominance. This is why we developed the Ethogram, so people can watch these subtle, but critical signs of dominance and hopefully predict when the tension will increase.
