nyssa – Jul 31, 2004 12:00 AM

Nyssa is 80 days old. Nyssa continues to be the most aggressive of all the pups. During pup programs the audience most often hears the aggressive vocalizations from Nyssa as the pups compete for food. As Nyssa was in the outside wolf yard Shadow has raised hackles and was growling at Nyssa. Nyssa then tucked her tail and submissively rolled over. During the morning programs Nyssa was very possessive of the deer leg, but during the 5:00 pm program her littermates did not back down from her aggressiveness as they all fed on the leg simultaneously.
