denali – Oct 5, 2012 12:00 AM

Aidan and Denali had a slight confrontation over Luna and some deer hide. Denali just seems satisfied to take whatever food he can acquire, but when he’s going to take it from Luna, Aidan gets involved. We filmed this confrontation and observed some very interesting behaviors. Denali was carrying a T-4 tail when Aidan asserted himself and did an face lick appeasement behavior towards Aidan. He also had all of his hackles raised from the scruff of his neck to his tail. This tells me that there’s some Denali anxiety about Aidan’s new assertive behavior and Denali isn’t accepting it very well.
