Food continues to motivate Denali

Denali is still in the Exhibit Pack.  He is noticeably slower but can still give a good chase when food is involved.  He seems to benefit from the body work treatment that Wolf Care staff gives him daily. There is tension between Grayson and Denali, which can often be traced back to food.  Denali defends much of the food with Grayson not always being confident enough to get any, but staff always make sure there is extra food on a daily basis to meet the needs of Grayson and Boltz.  Denali’s next challenge is Axel’s continual testing behavior.  In this week’s photo, you will see a Jaw Spar, with Axel nearly encompassing not only Denali’s jaw, but his entire muzzle.
