Nubee joined Grizz and Groan in chasing each other when one had the beaver tail. She also exhibited head-shaking behavior with the beaver tail. Nubee has been initiating dominance interactions with Grizz and Groan. She has been very vocal-growling at them. Stalking and pouncing behaviors were also observed. Nubee was very anxious during program and was whining and climbing on gate to get out of pup pen in auditorium. She was not easily distracted with stimulus items. Took pups out to outdoor pup pen. Nubee ran around and explored the enclosure. She also went into the den and dug some dirt and laid down. Went to fenceline and growled at Shadow & Malik. Malik brought a piece of beaver near fence and put it down.
