The wolves are doing well during the recent cold spell (although, temperatures didn't dip much below 25 below zero, so not cold by Minnesota standards). On Saturday nights feeding of the Exhibit pack, 8 beaver carcasses were fed, with the intentions of filling the wolves up with a higher fat diet during the cold. Staff expected them to quickly devour the food, but the wolves weren't as hungry as we expected. Several beaver remain 4 days after the feeding, with limited interest. I guess the weather was only cold for the humans, for the wolves and their thick hides, it was just another day.
