Denali- Back to Food Possession

Wolf Logs written by Wolf Watch participants Steve Houglum and Marcia Mummau. 

Denali is feeling better!  During the Friday evening Wolf Watch program, two small deer legs were given to the pack.  Denali possessed both legs and displayed a number of lip curls when Luna attempted to take possession of one of the legs.  If you read Luna’s  log, you will see that her subtle posturing won her one of the legs, but Denali managed to keep the other.  We are just happy to report that he is feeling so much better and is willing to possess and defend food.

The Wolf Watch program is generally offered on the first Friday of each month, allowing participants to join wolf care staff as they observe the pack interactions and record any behavioral data that helps determine pack dynamics.
