Shadow’s doing better this week than he has in previous weeks. The construction to the lab is done, there haven’t been any Behind the Scenes groups, and Maya is paying him the respect of a dominant animal. All of these circumstances have led to a more relaxed confident dominant male, as his video clip demonstrates. During today’s wolf check, he was feeding on the deer carcass and took a leg with him toward the front of the exhibit. Maya watched him from on top of the den, came up and did a full greeting, licking Shadow’s face, he dropped the deer leg and she ran off with it back to the den top. Wolf camera viewers should be seeing more activity on the den cam, as this is the preferred spot for the wolves to rest in winter
