I know we've said this before, but the introduction of the pups seems to have affected Shadow the most. He is often observed stimulating play behavior with the pups and is taking on a leadership role more seriously than last year. Even in the old adopt a wolf kits, Malik was termed the dominant of the two arctics. This year, Shadow has clearly taken on this role. In this week's photo, you see a dominance display with Malik and Shadow. Shadow clearly doesn't want Malik on his back.
