Attila has a varied response to the public programs. If the Exhibit Pack is howling or excessively whining, he goes into the auditorium nervous and tries to climb the wall to get to the ledge and paw at the window toward the Exhibit Pack. During the 1 pm program, the pups were carried in because it was pouring, they were given the deer tail and the soft pad. They spent the whole program stealing the tail from each other and growling/biting each other. Attila chewed on the tail with his back to the audience, showing no fear of anything. Of course, the pack didn’t get up because of the rain, so that probably helped. Attila isn’t as interested in the elk meat as Red Paw, but he will consume it with gruel. Attila is best consuming formula from a bowl. Attila continues to display some dominant predatory behavior. After the 11 am program, the pups were in the wolf yard for about 20 minutes, and Attila stalked Red Paw several times with a full ambush, rolling Red Paw over on his back.
