Sorry for the delay in the logs, Wolf Curator, Lori Schmidt was in Anchorage Alaska last week for the Wildlife Society National Meeting and general wolf care was the main priority in her absence. The dominance behavior from Malik seems to be taken in stride by Shadow. While Shadow will show a high tail and give chase, he doesn't show a hackle response and doesn't always follow through with the chase. This is the sign of a very confident dominant wolf, that doesn't feel threatened when his authority is tested. He remains close to Maya in social behavior and plays along with Grizzer's attempt to ride up and show that he's an adult now.
