This week's wolf logs were written by program participants in the 10/28-10/30/05 weekend program called "Working for Wolves", in which participants performed enclosure enrichment and maintenance projects in both the Retired and Exhibit enclosures. Written by Kim Wheeler: The Working for Wolves participants made some improvements to the main Exhibit den. A wall was built and balsam branches were placed across the back opening. When the wolves returned to the exhibit, Maya did some rearranging. She pulled the balsam trees off the back of the den. She did not seem to like our changes! Maya did not show much fear avoidance behavior with the group. She did show some avoidance to entering the pup enclosure during the "What's for Dinner" program. The wolves were fed five beavers. Maya proceeded to scent mark on two of the beavers, which didn't stop Grizzer from taking one.
