Shadow is by far the best example of a socialized wolf. He still keeps all of his natural instincts (that is why he might be the best leader for the pack), and he also shows how difficult it is for socialized wolves to transfer bonds. During the curator absence(she was at the wolf symposium), Shadow was seen approaching the fence everytime a car stopped, and howled after confirming it was not the curator. This is a behavior that makes the caring of this animals more challenging. He also shows more dominat behavior when the center is not open, and therefore, no intimidation from the crowd.
