When the waterline was repaired in the enclosure, a large flat rock that was adjacent to the pond needed to be moved and repositioned. While the rock is not as flat as it was in its’ original placement, Maya seems to be the only wolf that finds it a comfortable place to rest. The placement of rocks are not merely and aesthetic addition to the exhibit. The ability to climb on a rock increases a wolf’s height, giving them status. It is also a good place for rodents to hide, creating many more things to investigate for a predatory mind that is always in high gear.
