This week's wolf logs were written by program participants in the 10/28-10/30/05 weekend program called "Working for Wolves", in which participants performed enclosure enrichment and maintenance projects in both the Retired and Exhibit enclosures. Written by Kristy Raines: As a participant in the Working for Wolves weekend, I was able to observe wolf behavior in response to the changes made in their enclosures. When the retired pack was moved to the holding pen, Lucas displayed the most agitation, pacing continuously around the pen. He would settle down only briefly when wolf care staff provided distractions for him, such as deer meat. This picture represents his usual behavior of carrying his food around the enclosure numerous times before eating or caching it.
