shadow – Oct 6, 2008 12:00 AM

Written by assistant wolf curator, Donna Prichard:<br> Shadow continues to be the wolf that truly leads and defines this pack. He is very protective of his pack, as evidenced by his bark-howling this weekend at the Workin’ For Wolves participants who were working in the retired enclosure. In wolf language, this is a way to express defensiveness and territoriality. Shadow continues to be very tolerant of the pups, disciplining them through controlled muzzle bites when necessary. Both pups spend a great deal of time with Shadow and seek his acceptance.
