We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Of all the wolves at the Center, Maya is the best at stalking and pouncing. Some week’s, it’s a raven that gets the attention, in this week’s video, it’s Grizzer. As you watch, he walking across the enclosure, you will see her head drop and her stare intensify as she does a quick stalk, then pounces off the den onto Grizzer. She proceeds to dominate Grizzer who shows complete submission and relaxation (his tail is not tucked and he exposes his belly). This is how littermates release a little energy. There’s no change in status, just an opportunity to practice some skills.
