One classic Lakota behavior is a face wipe, when a wolf rubs its’ face on the ground or in the snow after feeding. This behavior may have a function in cleaning the face of blood and debris from carcass feeding, or it might just feel good. In Lakota’s case, it appears the feel good response is a high likelihood. The snow and cold has increased the activity level of the Retired pack, winter is truly the season for wolves.
