The name the pups contest is featured on our website, and as wolf care staff that work with the pups throughout their entire life, we appreciate names that fit the personality of the wolves. So, to describe Bolt's personality: He is extremely social with the people he knows the best, showing a great deal of excitement towards the core wolf care staff. He is also a bit shy towards new things, but is willing to explore and investigate. He's a climber, finding any high vantage point he can with his youthful and sometimes unstable legs. When he met Aidan and Denali through the fence, he showed very social interactions, licking, whining and tail wagging with both wolves. He is easily calmed by Oscar and will look to Oscar during a stressful situation. As time goes on, we will continue to post comments about personality and will feature characterisitics on Youtube. His behavioral firsts include howling to the pack, scraping the ground after urination, submissive roll over to Oscar, checking all fence corners for any openings and tug of war with Peanut. We weigh the wolves every day to monitor their health and condition. Here's the weigh gains since the last posting. We like to see .2 – .4 lbs gain a day, but this can vary with stimulus and stress. <li> Weights<li> 4/24 – 9.5 lbs<li> 4/25 – 10.1 lbs<li> 4/26 – 10.2<li> 4/27 – 10.3<li>
