With the retirement of Lucas from the main enclosure, the wolves feeding schedule and amounts were changed. The retirement crew is fed on Friday during the warmer part of the day, and the arctics are fed on the regular Saturday night feeding. Trying to regulate what the 2 arctics need has been a challenge. A whole deer is too much for the pair, often leaving them uninterested in food at the following feeding. This past Saturday, the arctic's cached the deer torso and didn't eat at all. The deer was still there in the morning, with about 20 ravens interested in the free meal.
