lucas – Sep 27, 2004 12:00 AM

Off all the retired wolves, Lucas seems to be the one that is showing the most signs of aging. His hair is turning very white around his face and he has some of the classic weepy eyes of older animals. He seems to have some increasing allergy problems causing some this weeping. Wolf care staff clean his eyes on a regular basis, and hopefully, the cold weather of fall will put some of the pollen to rest. Lucas really has shown a pattern of spending time in the denboxes. There are days that he won't even get up to greet staff.
