shadow – May 20, 2007 12:00 AM

Written by Workin' For Wolves program participants Michael Mallory and Cathy Gray: During Sunday's morning wolf check, Shadow showed anxiety at seeing oiur group near the fence. His tail dropped between his legs and he ran up the hill away from the fence as other pack members followed. As the others grew more comfortable, they returned by the fence area by the auditorium. Still uneasy, Shadow moved down, jumped on a rock and started to bark-howl. The rest of the pack gathered around him and chimed in. Due to this stress response, the curator asked us to leave the fence area out of sight. While the remainder of the Ambassador pack calmed down, Shadow, still agitated, continued to bark-howl until program participants were no longer visible.
