denali – Nov 1, 2010 12:00 AM

Pigeons were donated by the Wildlife Science Center from an eradication effort at the Minneapolis Airport and used in an enclosure enrichment. Text was written by Working for Wolves participants Pam Slosson and Corrine Evenson. On Friday, 10/29/10, we got to observe Denali engage Grizzer in laps around the pond. Grizzer never did catch up, but Denali is a lot younger. On Sunday, we did enclosure enrichment with pigeons and Denali enjoyed the game of finding them. But not only that, he was the first of the pack to figure out that they were edible. Denali might be juvenile acting, but he shows great hunting skills. If he was in the wild, he would be good for the pack's survival.
