Aidan has the least amount of winter coat, making him the most comfortable in this unusual spring heat. Temperatures have reached the upper 80's, which is not very common for Northern Minnesota. We have noticed a difference between Denali and Aidan related to swimming preferences. Denali frequently goes for a swim, while Aidan is much more reserved, staying at the edge of the pond. This could be related to pack status and comfort. A low ranking wolf may not be comfortable in having a quick escape when chest deep in the pond. Aidan finds other ways to keep cool, he is frequently in a dug den at the upper enclosure, coming down to greet with a head full of sand.
