grizzer – Aug 13, 2007 12:00 AM

The Exhibit pack has been dealing with the heat by remaining inactive, as all of the videos show this week. Grizzer has completed the summer shedding and has begun growing a winter coat. The photo shows the physiological structure of a wolf with a significant amount of rotation to the front scapula or shoulder. When wolves travel, they display a pattern termed direct registering, where a slight rotation of the shoulder blade or scapula, allows alignment of the front and back paw when traveling. This is very efficient, especially when breaking trail in the snow.
