Lakota appears to be doing well with limited dominance from Shadow and Malik. Although there have been bouts of interest in Lakota, they have been primarily after dark when temperatures cool off. Lakota remains active with the pack and shows no sign of retreating from Shadow and Malik." Curator's note: While this reintroduction may have appeared to be initially successful, staff and visitors should be realistic to the chance of similar dominance issues as last winter, as we get closer to the time of the normal breeding season for wolves. As discussed with Dr. Chip Hanson, any sign of aggression resulting in a bite wound to Lakota will be stopped and Lakota will be placed back in the pack holding area. It is the management team's objective to avoid a similar scenario to last winter.
