Axel – The Cooling Influence of the Pond

The yearlings have been enjoying the start of the pond season.  Even though they joined the Exhibit Pack while it was still functioning last fall, there was so much stimuli that they didn’t have chance to explore.  Now that the yearlings are comfortably integrated into the pack, they are spending plenty of time exploring.  The rock in Axel’s reflection is one of the cooling rocks that was part of the Anika Hahn donation to enhance the lives of the Exhibit Pack.  Having the ability to swim in the pond and climb on adjacent rocks keeps the wolves cool.  Anika’s fund also supported additional trees to the Exhibit to increase the shade options for the pack.
