Shadow has a powerful method of getting lower ranking wolves to comply with his status. He uses a threat display, with full teeth barred and direct eye contact. In this week’s photo, it does seem to have the desired effect, Grizzer is submitting with ears back and submissively pawing at Shadow. If you look at Grizzer’s photo this week, you will see that Grizzer is averting Shadow’s gaze, a sign that he is not ready to take on the challenge.
