Boltz – Still the Subordinate Male

 I’ve mentioned Boltz’ testing behaviors a lot in the past few logs, but it’s important to note that he’s currently maintaining his rank as the bottom ranking male. He actively submits when the other wolves get too tense. We’ve noticed a trend however, when Luna gets into any sort of scuffle with Aidan, Boltz appears to get confident and tries to test him. It’s important for us to remember what triggers these bouts of testing, as wolf care staff can at times influence pack dynamics when we’re doing daily physical checks.
