lakota – Jul 27, 2001 12:00 AM

Lakota came to fence by the office whining when staff did an outside enclosure check. She layed by the gate for 10 minutes with both front legs extended under the gate for the staff to rub her paws. Later, wolf care staff entered the enclosure and found Lakota to be a bit excitable, grabbing Curator Lori Schmidt's pant leg when she tried to exit the enclosure. Staff stayed in a bit longer and spent more time with Lakota, within 30 minutes everyone settled down.
