Aidan – A Different View

Aidan’s displaying a behavior we term “Roll on Back”.  This behavior may look like a scent roll, but it lacks the characteristic rubbing along the cheek bone that is observed in most scent rolling behavior.  This “Roll on Back” posture seems to have some social components and staff have observed Aidan displaying a submissive pawing motion trying to engage another wolf in social interaction.  With Aidan’s rank as a dominant male, this view of Aidan is certainly different than the posturing high ranking interactions typically encountered.  The pack members seem to understand that this social behavior is independent of rank.
