Maya has started some more intense pair bonding with Shadow, but she seems to still show intense dominance over Aidan. While some people may harbor bad feelings towards Maya's behavior, it is important to accept them as wolves, and know that there are reasons why wolves see anxious behavior as a weakness. It's staff's job to manage the wolves to the best of our ability, and the key for Aidan is to keep the pack calm, and therefore, less anxious behavior for Aidan which makes him a target. As the YouTube video posted for the week will show, Maya likes to be in control of treats in the enclosure, and while she tends to take whatever Aidan drops, staff make sure Maya's pile is equally distributed.
