Aidan – Reverting to Pup Tactics

We always know when a wolf is feeling better, they tend to display some of the same antics of a pup or juvenile.  One of the more common pup behavior’s is ambush.  This is where a pup crouches to the ground and pounces on an unsuspecting pup mate.  Clearly, this is a hunting behavior usually reserved for prey, but with pups learning to apply their instinctual behavior, they ambush each other.  Last week, I spoke of Luna’s continual “juvenile” behaviors as an indication that she would rather ambush and wrestle with her pup mate Boltz than be a more mature adult.  I guess a wolf is never to0 old to display juvenile behaviors; This week, Aidan was photographed preparing to pounce on Luna with his tail wagging in a social greeting.  We know Aidan’s feeling better if he takes the time to set up an Ambush.
