lakota – May 6, 2005 12:00 AM

The retired wolves were fed on Friday, May 5th, the night before the immobilization in the Exhibit Pack. This gave them full bellies and a desire to sleep through the commotion of the exam. Wolf watchers observed Lakota going through the motions of howlng with no sound coming out. Possibly a sign of old vocal chords or a full stomach that couldn't take the pressure.
