Prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday, we usually feed some meat scraps to keep the wolves full and sleepy for one of the few days when there is limited staff in the lab to monitor the wolves during the day. Aidan really enjoyed this protocol, as we fed bone dust, provided by Pam Slossen and moose scraps provided by a local resident cleaning out their freezer (moose from 2009). Aidan's behavioral transformation in the past year includes a significant increase in feeding opportunities. When he was low ranking, he often had to wait for meals. Now that he appears to be in control of this Exhibit, he waits for no-one.
