lakota – Jul 23, 2007 12:00 AM

Lakota continues to show no sign of adverse effects from the benign growth on her face. As you can see from this week’s short video clip, she still has the stamina to run laps around the den box. One other noteworthy event this week, after wolf care staff cleaned and filled the water tank in the retired pack, Lakota carefully climbed down the rocks and stood in the cool clean water for several minutes. While she frequently used the tank early in retirement, we haven’t been observing this behavior in over a year. It must have been the sparkling clean water that was too inviting to miss.
