With summer brings heat, humidity, large crowds and various forms of stimuli for the wolves. Prior to last night’s feeding, Shadow initiated interaction with the yearlings, Denali and Aidan, by inviting chase. Some of the behaviors displayed by Denali during this play sequence included running, foreleg stabs, play bows and wrestling. This type of behavior indicates relaxed, comfortable wolves and is an example of the benevolent leadership Denali and Aidan receive from Shadow.
