After last week's surveillance video showed some den selection issues, we've been increasing the amount of straw available for the Retired Wolves. We want to make sure that each wolf has a comfortable place to sprawl rest (meaning take up all the space). Malik is a bit smaller than Shadow and seems to prefer a curl rest, whereas Shadow has a way of using every available inch of den space. Malik continues to benefit from Shadow's additional meals, and his tendency to cache food. With Malik around, a cache rarely stays in the snow longer than a minute.
