Denali has been displaying some quick half bark behaviors which are generally considered alarm or threat sounds. Wolves don't repetitively bark like a dog, a bark from a wolf means a heightened level of intensity. After a few chases and some barks, Aidan and Denali generally settle down and rest in a nearby straw bed or as the image in Denali's log shows, they find a nice sunny spot for some radiant heat. Note the posture of the wolves in a curl rest. A curl rest allows the wolves to conserve heat and may an indicator of comfort level.
