Maya is doing well, and continues to demonstrate strong dominant female traits. Of course, Aidan is on the receiving end of most of these, but Grizzer and Denali have been the recipient of Maya's dominant bouts. When she's not showing status, Maya is the same mild mannered personality that we saw in her younger days. We also see the same pattern as observed by the 2009 Vermilion Community College Ethology course, Maya is more likely to lead a howl than any other wolf in the exhibit. How does Shadow handle this? As a calm, dominant male, that stands by and observes, but doesn't seem bothered by her surge in dominance.
