Salik was going to use the cub as a slave and force him to fetch grubs and berries, since food was scarce and the black bears had the most food, but Salik decided to keep the cub. He wanted to raise Taola like his own. Salik found that there was more in life than bulling. He loved Taola.

Taola told Salik some secrets about himself. His father had died. He never left the forest. His mother didn't let him go further more than 30 feet away from her, and he never hunted before. Ever. Salik taught Taola how to hunt. Taola's first prey was a hare. He ate it proudly. Next he caught a squirrel. His biggest prey he was old enough to catch was a weasel. He met Koda one day while visiting the grizzley's territory. He decided to live there. His mother wasn't any good at finding him. Until Chula made the move of going into the grizzlies territory.  She found him and was reliced that the grizzlies didn't eat him. Taola protested that he wanted to stay. Although Chula was heart-broken, she respected his decison.  Taola lived with the grizzlies for his whole life.
