Former curator Janice Templeton visited the wolves today and had a very good visit. The yearlings calmed down quickly, especially since Mackenzie and Lucas were actively dominating them. Lakota was very relaxed except when the yearlings were too close. Lakota's wounds are healing well, wolves have a great ability to heal themselves and it appears that Mackenzie and Lucas are frequently dominating the yearlings. Shadow and Malik submissively rolled over to Janice in a subordinate posture. All seemed very relaxed. Lucas's condition causing pigmentation loss seems to have subsided. He is active, appears healthy and has a black nose again.
