Aidan's been showing more active dominance over Denali and it's usually stimulated by Luna. He continues to show some protective nature over the pups, and if Denali is too intense, Aidan quickly puts an end to interactions. We have been watching for more signs of pair bonding between Aidan and Luna. Even in a spayed and neutered Exhibit, pair bonding can occur between the dominant male and the dominant female. Behaviors may include shoulder to shoulder parallel walks, sleeping in close proximity to one another, rolling over for each other and facial greetings that display a strong social bond.
