Shadow has had a few episodes of bark howling at groups Behind the Scenes. He takes his role as pack leader very seriously and let's people know who's in charge. He and Malik are still posturing for a dominant male role, but it seems that Shadow is more often on top than Malik. Shadow is very efficient at pinning Malik to the ground. This dominance behavior typically last through early March, before the hormonal cycle of testosterone tends to level off. As spring approaches, the weather warms, and the wolves again become more mellow. This time of the year makes for great observations and interesting dynamics.
