Lucas has been a bit shy towards staff lately, but his interest in his packmates has increased. He's also been more agitated with the chasing and sometimes noisy behavior of the Exhibit pack. During the winter seasons, hormone levels tend to increase as wolves begin the breeding season. Even though the wolves at the Center have been spayed and neutered, they still display hormonal increases this time of the year. Lucas, nearing 13 years of age, still shows interest in pair bonding and defensive behavior. Thanks to Pam Dolajeck for the donation of pigs ears for the wolves.
