We haven't had a lot of extra resources to provide the retired pack with a full deer carcass in a while (don't worry, we have plenty of meat for them, just not the fun of tugging on a deer), so we decided to let them have a deer torso on Saturday night. Malik who tends to be more food dominant really seemed to enjoy this treat and the extra volume of food left enough for both wolves to satiate themselves. By Monday, they consumed the 50 lb torso including the vertebrae. There's some good video footage on Youtube this week of Malik gnawing on the vertebrae with no trouble. As a reminder ,this is the wolf that had an infected premolar removed a few years ago, even though these two will be 13 years of age in May, they have great teeth.
