If Grizzer has been the biggest surprise and misinterpretation of behavior, then Maya comes in as close second. The amount of whining she did towards the pups pre-introduction, seemed to indicate that she really wanted to possess them, but instead, she competes with them for food and on the deer hide. She is quick to dominate and while she’s been better in recent days, she does not roll over with the pups like Grizzer does. Certainly, time will improve the social relationships, but all we can say now is the pups are lucky to have two social males in their pack, Shadow and Grizzer.
