Grayson – Submissive Ears

Grayson seems to mimic Aidan and while that can be a good trait when it comes to leadership qualities, it can also have a downside when it comes to intimidation about being moved off the Exhibit.  We have had several occasions to move the Exhibit Pack in the last month.  We had some significant hazard trees that needed to be removed before the summer windstorms became an issue, the Vermilion Community College Ethology class moved a lot of cover hay, the VCC fire class moved even more dead trees and branches.  The Working for Wolves crew did a significant amount of work cleaning up the Exhibit and thanks to a donation from Anika Hahn, we are putting misting systems in the enclosure to provide some needed relief from the summer heat, especially for the arctic wolves.  All of this work requires some type of movement for the pack and one thing about wolves, they don’t seem to like change.  Aidan has the hardest issue and we have been watching Grayson show some intimidation as well.  We are nearly done with the projects, the Exhibit is ready for summer and we hope to have many days relaxation to relax Grayson’s ear posture.
