lakota – Nov 20, 2006 12:00 AM

A recent email to the Center inquired about the size of the denboxes. While we do have photos of both Lakota and Lucas lying together in a denbox, they are designed by USDA specifications to house one wolf. During the winter, we place many squares of straw in the box and line the back walls with straw to create a warm, out of the wind space for one wolf. Lakota not only uses the den box as a perch, but she is usually found curled up inside the box. MacKenzie will use the boxes on cold wet days, but prefers the watchful vantage point of her corner.
