Aidan has a new quirk that the wolf care staff must solve. Well, it's not really a quirk, more like self-preservation, he doesn't want to go into holding with Maya. Of course, we certainly understand, Maya continues to remind Aidan that he's gaining no status as a yearling. We wouldn't mind this situation, if it wasn't for the fact that he is not afraid of the wheelbarrow, and when we feed, he meets staff at the gate and tries to drag the deer away from the viewing windows and public program. Last week, he not only dragged the deer, but the staff and the wheelbarrow as well. Of course, this is a problem we created, someone thought it was cute to let the wolves climb in the wheelbarrow when they were pups. Bad idea, now we will deal with this problem for the near future. At tonight's feeding, the curator stayed in the pack holding area with Aidan and provided him some security, but this is not a long term solution. The curator does not have plans for living in the enclosure.
