We can always tell when Aidan's comfort level is increased by seeing him towards the front of the Exhibit. He's been very interactive and social lately, but still very cautious of Maya's place in the enclosure. Recent gifts of pigs ears and beef bones have been a welcome distraction for the pack, and while Aidan initially has to deal with the competition of the other pack members, staff always make sure he gets his share. With temperatures below zero each night, ample straw beds are placed throughout the enclosure to ensure all wolves are warm and comfortable. Aidan seems to have the prime real estate, the main den. In the YouTube video this week, Aidan gets a bit excited with a beef bone, and his exuberant scent rolling draws Maya's attention.
