maya – Apr 2, 2007 12:00 AM

If there’s any new item in the enclosure or an old cache coming out of the snow, Maya is the likely wolf to locate it. In this week’s video, she identifies the scent, moves some rocks and leaves with the item. This is a common occurrence in the Exhibit Pack. Beginning with the summer of 2007, the wolf care staff will offer regular Enclosure Enrichment programs every Wednesday at Noon from June 15th – August 15th. This may include hiding unusual treats in the rocks of the enclosure, using scents to offer the stimulus of marking, placing minnows in the pond (which also help to clean algae), providing beaver tail popsicles or any other creative idea that stimulates the wolves to use their sense of smell, sight or sound. Anyone with ideas of enclosure enrichment’s, please feel free to email them in. The only parameter is that it must be natural, and ethical for the wolf exhibit.
