Spring weather is arriving very slowly in Northern Minnesota, and has an impact on wolf behavior. Usually by this time, temperatures in the 40's or 50's would be expected and the wolves would respond by being very lethargic. With temperatures still near zero at night, and daytime high's reaching into the 30's, the wolves are up and active. This means that Aidan hasn't gotten much relief from Maya, but he is tolerating the situation well, although Maya has a new scrape under her eye, one of Aidan's defensive moves. Snow is predicted for this week, and we anticipate another month before the spring melt allows us to begin enclosure clean up.
