Axel – Alert Posture

Axel is maintaining a consistent body weight at 92 pounds. His physical appearance is changing to more of a juvenile state as well as his behavior.  He is pushing limits on both wolves and humans, but both Aidan and the wolf care staff have been through the juvenile transition before, most recently in 2012 with Luna and Boltz and Axel has a long way to go to match Luna’s juvenile phase.  Patience and consistency are the key to this age bracket.  In this week’s photo taken by Center educator Saranda Oestreicher offers a great view of Axel’s facial characteristics that aid in identification.  His eyes are more almond shaped and he has a slender appearance to his muzzle.
