Staff have noticed MacKenzie showing much more social behavior than in previous weeks. During the winter season, aggression seems to be heightened in both enclosures. This creates a situation where MacKenzie is more focused on dominance not only with Lakota, but the activities inside the Exhibit pack. As her focus intensifies, she spends less time interacting with staff. During the last few sessions, MacKenzie is back to her old self, getting as much attention as Lakota. Of course, she still needs to tell Lakota who's in charge, but it's with a lot less intensity.
