Boltz – A Bit Too Much Focus

It’s hard to know the thoughts of the wolves, so our job as managers is to interpret the behavior.  We know that Luna and Boltz had an unusual upbringing because of the need to err on the side of caution for Luna physically.  What we don’t know is the impacts that the physical restrictions on the behavioral interactions between the 2012 litter.  Luna had always been assertive over Boltz and now that they are separated by two fencelines, the interactions continue to show a focus, not from Luna, but from Boltz.  We want to be very cautious about any negativity between Luna and any of the Exhibit Pack in case there is progress on Luna’s recovery, but we have to acknowledge that a stalking or high tail posture from Boltz (and now shared by Axel), can have future implications.
