boltz – Feb 1, 2013 12:00 AM

The Wolf Ethology students are starting the behavioral observation component of their course and they are questioning how to tell Boltz and Aidan apart. It is difficult; there are times when I have to take a long look before identifying them from a distance. Boltz has not reached his full body size and will fill out significantly in the next year, but his height matches Aidan's. The best way to identify him is to look at the behaviors; Boltz is attempting to ride up on a frequent basis, he is still displaying a lot of pups jaw sparring and wrestling with Luna and he is submissive when activity gets too aggressive. He also has a characteristic look on his face like no other wolf here and is displayed in this week's photo.
