Vermilion Community College students assisted with the straw removal, pond cleaning and trenching of the den site, in an effort to help drain an excessive amount of spring snow melt. The students did an excellent job in rainy, cool conditions, while the wolves stayed in retirement eating 3 beaver, and frequently checking on the progress. Upon returning to the enclosure, the pack did a lot of scent rolling in areas where pond water was bailed from the upper pond. Aidan spent a fair amount of time checking the den and the trench project. His video this shows his continual attempt at getting acceptance from Shadow. If we had to predict the strongest, most intense social bond, it would have to be Aidan to Shadow.
