The Pups are 47 days old today and received their official names. The winning names were Aidan and Denali. Originally, Aiden was on the list for Wolf Pup # 1 – or Red Paw, but after further research into the name, we learned that the name Aidan is an Irish Gaelic name, a diminutive of Aodh and usually translated into English as "little fiery one. Based on our behavioral experience with Pup # 2 (nicknamed Attila), Aiden seemed to fit. We also noticed that Attila was responding to the A sound of his name, so we wanted to keep a consistent name. We are planning to post video again this week, please let me know via email if you have difficulty in playing the video. My email address is curator@wolf.org.
