Lakota has developed some interesting habits. She will only eat if she is hand fed or if the staff pretend to leave somthing on the picnic table, acting like she is not suppose to have it, then she grabs it and runs. This is how we managed to feed her 2.5 lbs of venision steak and roast this morning. Her other habit is to come into the wolf lab and watch the staff work at the computers. Her photo this week shows her curiosity. Of course, she is always attended in the lab, but when staff are not watching closely, she still has a habit of taking mouse pads. She has a great spring in her step, and every morning the routine is the same. The retired enclosure is opened, she trots out to the walkway, if the pups are locked up, she can go straight into the yard. If the pups are out, she watches and waits by the gate. After the pup introduction, she will be very excited to change the routine and come in the wolf yard every time.
