Aidan continues to be wary of Maya, but there are moments where he initiates play behavior. His video clip this week shows this behavior. He's a bit of a prancer, riding up on his back legs to do a ride up on Maya. It will be interesting to see how he develops as an adult, and if this prancing behavior is just youthful exuberance. We have been experiencing a challenge in delivering daily vitamins to Aidan. The vitamins are given in a meatball, and all wolves are very excited at the fence while they are being delivered. This causes Aidan to be cautious of Maya, as her excitement level often leads to redirection. Assistant Curator, Donna Prichard developed a new protocol, stand around long enough for the other wolves to think you are out of meatballs, as they wander off, slip Aidan his vitamin.
