Guarding Food

This entry was written by visiting Wolf Care Staff Volunteer, Cameron Feaster. Boltz’s ability to guard food from the other members of the exhibit pack has increased greatly in the past year. When he was much younger, Boltz would often abandon food he had possessed rather than defend it, leading wolf care staff to worry about his nutritional intake. But we’ve seen his ability to take possession of a deer leg, or a scrap of meat, grow rapidly. This week he was seen actively defending his portion of a deer leg from Luna, who is perhaps the most food possessive of all the packmembers.
