One email suggestion to help pack dynamics referenced the idea of wolf care staff playing games with the wolves. While we addressed this during the Youtube video about how rough wolves can play and the safety hazards this would create for wolf care staff, we do know that Malik would be excited to play keep the hat away from the Curator. Since he's been successful at taking the hat on three occasions, he tries to grab it at every opportunity possible, including during feedings, when the den straw is being raked or whenever it appears hands are busy. If we didn't have to worry about him eating the hat and the wool binding his intestines, we would just give him the hat. But, it's a bit cold to be giving away good wool hats.
