We've been noticing some subtle changes in the relationship between Aidan and Denali. Denali seems to be gaining some status over Aidan, and we think it might be related to the fact that Aidan is more intimidated by strangers. Having Pup Care Participants in the wolf yard is excellent socialization for the pups, but we can't forget that adult wolves have stress responses to strangers. Fortunately, we have Wolf Care staff that enter the enclosure and pay some specific attention to Aidan which helps with some of this anxiety. He continues to show some strong social bonding behavior towards Boltz.
