maya – Aug 10, 2004 12:00 AM

Maya defended a cache against Shadow. She vocalized and snapped at him and he left her alone. She seems to show less fear towards the arctics than she experienced on the first day of the introduction. She no longer runs away when being dominated, but willingly rolls over. She does show a bit of intimidation when the retired wolves howl. She tends to run back and forth to the Arctics looking for contact. As the arctics howl, she nervously runs away from them. Behavioral Observation team members noticed that Maya is more anxious after dark. On the first night, she stayed close to the building, she frequently put her head up to listen for the other wolves, but didn't join them. Later, she curled up with Grizzer.
