Someone recently asked me if I had a favorite wolf. Certainly some people may think it's hard not to think of some individuals with a greater concern because of their individual needs, but the reality is, every wolf is different and they all have some unique characteristic to make them special. So, I thought I would dedicate this week's wolf logs to those unique characteristics. It's hard to describe Shadow without using an anthropomorphic term, but Loyal comes to mind. When he was a pack leader, his bonds were strong and the pack looked to him for every interaction. He would frequently place himself between the pack and any perceived threat. He led the Exhibit Pack for 8 years, and even in Retirement, he leads the howls and the other wolves listen. His loyalty does include staff, Shadow has his favorite staff and his attitude definitely shows when they're in the enclosure.
