We experienced the first week of significant cold with several days of – 20 degree weather. The impact on the wolves includes increased appetite and a slight increase in dominance. Aidan has been much more active and a bit more focused on chasing Denali. He settles down and submits for staff when greeting, but the tension is definitely in the air. This could also coincide with the time of the year, and even though the wolves at the Center are neutered, there is some chemical cycling during the breeding season which should be peaking in the next few weeks.
