maya – May 1, 2010 12:00 AM

Maya seems to be responding to some of the testing of Shadow by asserting more dominance. In a short bout of tension earlier in the week, she and Grizzer had an intense jaw sparring interaction with both riding up on their back legs. How Maya will respond when Shadow eventually retires will be interesting, but there does seem to be more social behavior with Aidan than the other two males. Maya weighed in at 89 lbs, down from 98 lbs in September, 2009. But, this is expected, besides Aidan, she does get the most physical exertion of all the wolves on site.
