Boltz – The subsiding of winter

While much of the winter was spent testing the dominant male, Boltz’s testing seems to have calmed down a bit. We still see some following behaviors, direct eye stares, and high tails now and then, but the interactions do not appear to be as intense as in previous months. Younger animals will often test their older, aging counterparts for quite a while. In some instances this will continue until the older animal’s retirement here at the International Wolf Center, but in other cases, testing may be put to a halt by the dominant animal. It’s hard to say how Boltz’s story will go, only time will tell.
