Lakota has been demonstrating some great behaviors as the weather gets cooler. Wolf care staff have been working on filming the remaining wolf behaviors that are missing from the interactive ethogram project. While in the enclosure, Lakota did a toss of a deer hide several times, throwing the hide up in the air and catching it again before running around the enclosure. Of course, on this day, the cameras were left in the wolf lab, so we missed it. In true wolf form, we attempted to get her to repeat the behavior by giving her a hide, but she just stared at it and walked away. Wolf care staff need to invest in helmet cams that we wear everyday to catch the action.
