Shadow

Shadow, an Arctic subspecies of the gray wolf, was born May 8, 2000 and is a litter mate to Malik. Shadow joined Malik in the Retired Pack on June 26th, 2010. For each wolf, you will see a weekly photo, notes on behavior or physical health and a video clip. Please note, due to the large file size of the video clips, they will only be archived for 30 days.

Lori Schmidt - As we reported in Malik's log, they both caught a bug of some type, but Shadow seems to be taking longer to recover. He did finally eat about 5 lbs of beef yesterday and we hope he returns back to his chin resting, invite chasing self soon. These wolves will both turn 13 years of age in May, and at this age, any issue is a major concern. I do believe that Shadow, as the dominant leader of the Exhibit Pack for nearly 8 years, probably has more underlying health issue related to stress. Staff have increased their observation periods and we anticipate an improvement by the weekend.
