lakota – Jul 13, 2006 12:00 AM

When Lucas was moved out of the enclosure to be euthanized, Lakota was showing signigicant interest in the vestibule. Staff kept her occupied, but there is likely going to be some separation anxiety expressed by both her and MacKenzie. Staff are monitoring them frequently throughout the day. Lakota continues to maintain a fairly dense undercoat, despite daily brushings from staff. Her method for staying cool is to go underground in a rather deep hole she dug a few years ago. The sprinkers give her relief as well, but her preference is to be subterranean. As a side note, the camera's were off for a few days as we buried a new cable for distance learning opportunities into the lab. Sorry about the side angle on the camera, we moved the camera before disconnecting the electricity, resulting in a 45 degree angle photo as the last photo before we completed the wiring. It wasn't some new abstract method of displaying wolves.
