grizzer – Dec 26, 2005 12:00 AM

The wolves are doing well over the Christmas Holidays. Curator Lori Schmidt has been in every day checking on them and they had a full deer carcass on Christmas Eve to keep them well fed during the holiday, when limited staff are on site. Grizzer has been very active lately instigating the pack to chase him as he runs in and out of the den. Dominance behavior seems to have calmed a bit, but howling bouts are increasing. Fresh snow tracks reveal recent visits to the fence from a fox, coyote and even a white tail deer walked up to the back fence. This has likely increased the captive wolves excitement levels. Lori Rhodes visited the Center on November 11th and 12th and contributes this week's photos of the Exhibit Pack.
