Wolves in the wild or in captivity tend to like higher vantage points to watch the activities surrounding their pack. Wolves in the wild may use densites with rock outcroppings or dug dens in hillsides to be on the lookout for threats to their densite. In captivity, specifically the Retired Pack, the den boxes serve this purpose. Stimuli such as hides, meat, or bones are placed on the den boxes to peak the wolves interest. Although, Lakota is the only Retired Wolf able to climb on top of the boxes, all are interested in the stimuli. In this week's photo, Lakota is checking out another enrichment project.
