Most people think that when animals are in cages or enclosures they would be very upset. Well Mona and Princess, two of the wolves at TWPS, proved that theory wrong. When nobody is around during the week to scare them, Mona and Princess run and jump all around. Also Mona and Princess are in some of the smallest enclosures at TWPS.
Other things do make wolves fussy and upset in captivity. For instance, wolves in captivity are fed on a schedule. After time, the wolves begin to know the schedule and if they aren't fed on schedule, they will get very upset. One other thing that effects their behavior is the wolves health. If they aren't feeling good because of a sickness, it will change their behavior significantly.
