maya – Jun 20, 2004 12:00 AM

Maya is 46 days old today. As of lately Maya has been doing very well during programs. She often occupies her time during the programs playing with ice, toys, and beaver feet and tails. Today during the 11:00 am program she played tug of war with Grizz over a beaver tail. Maya was very vocal when Grizz tried to take the tail and she displayed lots of aggressive-growling directed at Grizz. When the pups were brought out to the outside puppy pen Maya ran up to greet Malik and Shadow and at that point she rolled over in submission. Maya likes to spend her outside pen time climbing on rocks and logs, den digging and greeting the arctics (Malik and Shadow) through the fence. Maya and Grizz have been frequently teaming togehter in dominance interactions over Nyssa, but despite Nyssa's smaller size she fights hack with great vigor.
