lakota – Oct 20, 2008 12:00 AM

Lakota has started to use her new rock den. She actually started last Monday, right after I noted in the logs that she hadn't been using it. She is tolerating the cooler mornings well, and has been eating twice a day, at least 2 – 3 pounds per serving. She is in the lab as I write this, trying to check out her morning meal on the counter. Staff have observed her in a howling bout with the pack several times, even though her vocal chords produce no sound, she still goes through the motions. Wolf care staff and student volunteers installed concrete slabs under the gates to reduce the risk of Lakota digging out. This allows her more freedom in the wolf yard, without constant supervision.
