grizzer – Nov 17, 2008 12:00 AM

In an effort to allow the wolves to investigate the Retired Enclosure after the loss of Lakota, the pack has been given supervised access to the Retired Enclosure several times in the last week. It is great stimulus for the pack, and Grizzer spent time scent rolling, checking out the strength of the den, and while he didn't discover the newly planted trees, we are sure that he will eventually. This is why the visits are supervised. Grizzer continues to be a calm and social influence with the pups, and they do seek him out while he is resting on the straw on top of the den. Of course, Grizzer does like his straw resting spots, so this might change as the winter progresses. A YouTube video was posted with the activity in the Retired Enclosure.
