Aidan – Still in His Prime

There are many misconceptions that the older a wolf gets, the calmer, more docile, and generally safer the animal is to interact with. This is often a common mistake we see in wolf care with new staff entering retirement enclosures. Just because a wolf is older, does not mean they become doglike, or tame. Even at 6 years old, Aidan demonstrated to us very well the other day that he’s readily able to keep up with the 2 year olds. In this week’s photo we have Aidan, who had just leaped over several rocks, cutting off Luna’s path during a chase.
