denali – Oct 12, 2009 12:00 AM

Denali is displaying classic yearling behavior, testing every chance he gets. And, in a true form of a yearling, runs and hides behind wolf care staff if he gets in too much trouble. He has mastered the foreleg stab, which is when a wolf pushes or pokes something with a stiff front leg. Every pack member knows when Denali is in a testing mode, even Shadow has been the recipient of this over active juvenile. The difference between Denali and Aidan is that Aidan gets so much dominance from Maya that he is hesitant to test. Denali isn't getting much dominance from any of the pack, so he has no limits to his testing. Shadow is stern when Denali annoys him, but he doesn't follow through to make him submit.
