The programming with the pups is going well, we do need to have some modifications about protocol. Shadow is not taking to any new people in the wolf yard and is bark howling when Nannies are present. So, nannies wait inside the auditorium, while wolf care staff who are on a pup shift, walk the […]
Red Paw is 32 days old today and continues to show good pack association with the Exhibit Pack, and is very relaxed in the public programs. A deer leg was introduced to the program today, to calm Attila, and both pups became very aggressive, trying to possess it. It was a great distraction and they […]
Attila is 33 days old today. The pups ears are standing erect most of the time, and their hearing is greatly improved. Attila woke at the sounds of the wolves howling, perked his ears and tried to focus on the sound of howling. They are getting more comfortable with the sound, and are not as […]
Attila is 32 days old today. Here are some items from the past 24 hour behavioral notes. <br> Exhibit play behavior, growling. Lori had to put him on his back two times, because of aggressive growling. Lori picked up a roadkill and the pups started pulling at Lori's shirt that had some residual deer blood. […]
There isn't to much new in Retirement. Shadow has decreased his howling bouts and doesn't focus on the pack nearly as much. This is probably influenced by the quiet nature of the Exhibit. Other than some chasing play bouts in the late mornings or early afternoons, Denali and Aidan are very quiet and calm. This […]

Shadow and Maya have been seen at play and rest consistently. At one point, Maya even wrestled a bone away […]
This week’s logs are written by “Workin’ for Wolves program participants Theresa Williams, Ann Briem and Lee Williams. Of the four wolves in the ambassador pack, Malik was the only one taking an active interest in observing the program participants working in the holding pen. He freqently approached the fenceline, walking up and back a […]
As the main pack has more dominance, Malik gets more focused and excited. He has been racing around the enclosure anytime he hears Maya's dominance, which is good for his physical health. It's questionable if hearing dominance in the other pack is good for his psychological health, it may bring back some anxiety. In the […]
Lakota's been extremely excitable chasing around the enclosure, jumping on the denbox from the benches. Late last week, Mac and Lakota were fed beef roasts, donated from a local resort. While staff made sure each wolf had their own roast before leaving the Center, the look of Lakota's stomach the next morning pointed to another […]
