Shadow is clearly the leader of this pack. He is the one Maya runs to when there's howling, Grizzer follows him when chasing Malik and he is first to defend his territory from unfamilar visitors, both wolf and human. He has been actively defending the upper enclosure, pacing along the top fence line at what? we don't know. He has initiated at least a dozen howling sessions in the last few weeks all directed towards the upper enclosure. He also continues to bark howl, a warning sign, towards any Behind the Scenes groups. The only problem with the human groups is his natural intimidation of strangers, he tends to tuck his tail while barkhowling, making him vulnerable to Malik. He shows no fear when howling to the wild stimulus outside of the enclosure.
