shadow – Jul 1, 2008 12:00 AM

Shadow continues to surprise staff in his mild mannered social behavior towards staff. This is likely the influence of prolactin. Before the feeding on Sunday, Shadow appeared very timid in front of the crowd, Curator, Lori Schmidt approached him and he did a full submission and stayed on the ground for several minutes. This is a rare occasion, but the rest of the pack was busy with the beaver carcasses, so he probably didn't feel too threatened. Shadow is in dire need of brushing, when he sheds his undercoat, he sheds in sheets.
