denali – Aug 17, 2009 12:00 AM

Denali is really developing a long sleek coat. Wolves shed around early to mid-June, then by the middle of August, begin to grow in the undercoat that makes their guard hairs more prominent. Denali is an active yearling, testing whoever allows it. At this point, that's Grizzer, as every other wolf, including Aidan, give Denali a hard muzzle bite when he pokes them, rides up on them, or generally annoys them. So far, Denali continues to be the most food focused of all the pack members, and even with beaver fed on Wednesday's, and a deer on the weekend, wolf care staff have yet to take out any uneaten, rotting food.
