nyssa – Dec 6, 2004 12:00 AM

While Nyssa is getting more dominance from Maya, it doesn't seem to stop her dominance bouts with Grizzer. If Grizzer is standing by himself, Nyssa will usually come over and start something. This can meet grabbing him by the scruff or taking a bite of his hind quarters and running away. Depending upon Grizzer's mood, he may chase her, but he's not as quick as she is. Nyssa usually runs circles around Grizz. Nyssa is still timid around new things and new people, but she readily greets staff at the fence. On the 4th of December, staff note a pack mobbing of Nyssa (all other wolves on Nyssa), Nyssa tucked tail and ran from the group.
