Maya took advantage of a recent snowfall to demonstrate a wolf behavior termed “roll on back. This behavior is different than the behavior termed “snowplow, where a wolf pushes the snow with their nose and rubs their head side to side. The purpose of this behavior appears to be just for the purpose of enjoyment. Whereas the snowplow, appears to be a cleansing behavior and commonly follows a meal.
