As the only female in the pack, Maya reserves the right to be dominant in most situations. Her most famous behavior is scent marking. Dominant females use what’s termed a modified RLU. This behavior is critical in the wild where a dominant male and dominant female may both mark a spot indicating that the territory is occupied by a breeding pack. Maya marks food, or areas where the other wolves have recently marked.
