Aidan has a Wingman

When we observe pups, we often look at associations made with the adult members of their pack.  In the first months of Grayson’s life in the Exhibit Pack, we know he had some anxious moments caused by Denali’s exuberant interactions.  Grayson sought out Aidan when those interactions were too intense.  Staff recorded Grayson sleeping near Aidan as well as many observations of Aidan intervening on behalf of both pups.  As Grayson matures to a yearling, it seems that Grayson is now a wingman for Aidan’s interactions.  Notice Grayson’s tail in a confident T1, over the back posture.  But more noticeable in this photo, is the look of Aidan who seems to step back and let Grayson take the lead in showing Denali who leads the pack.  It’s nice to have help when your nearing 9 years of age.   If you haven’t participated in a wolf care webinar, we feature 12 webinars throughout the year sharing the history and current status of each wolf on their birthday.  Aidan and Denali turn 9 years of age on April 27th, join us to hear our discussions on life in the Exhibit Pack.
