History
Lycea, along with brothers Chaka Zulu, Ghengis, Taza, and Zeus, and sisters Selena and Shakti, was born at Wild Spirit by mother, Nashoba, and father, Ammon Ra. Nashoba passed away shortly after birth due to gastric torsion. Lycea and her littermates were raised by both humans and wolves. Lycea and her brother, Taza, were the least sociable and most dominant, so they were separated from the rest of their siblings.

Lycea had lost a few of her siblings from old age or other health issues, and the year she passed away marked the litter's 13th birthday. Lycea had been showing her age over the past couple of months, and it was clear to everyone that she was slowing down. One afternoon, a tour guide noticed that she was having some trouble walking around her enclosure. The staff went up to check on her, but by that time, she had resumed walking normally. It was inferred that she might have had some stiffness from sleeping on the snow, but later that evening, she once again was seen having difficulty walking. During the night, she passed away peacefully in her sleep and was discovered the next morning by volunteers.

Profile
Bio: Lycea was a Timber wolf. She had six siblings: Chaka Zulu, Ghengis Khan, Selena, Shakti, Taza, and Zeus. All of her siblings have passed away.
Personality: Lycea was a sweet girl to those she cared about, but always had a wild streak she wasn't afraid to show. Her favorite person in the world was Leyton who was her caretaker for several years. For everyone else, she was much shyer but could grow comfortable around volunteers if they acted calmly while walking by her enclosure. Lycea loved to pick fights, and had rivalries with her sister and boyfriend, and Cove and Lucian.
Likes: Leyton, meaty bones, and sunbathing on her house.
Dislikes: Sudden movements, loud noises, and strangers investigating her house or den.
Fun Fact: When Lycea lived with Taza, she was famous for her "bunny-hops". Whenever food or treats were imminent, she would begin leaping into the air with all four legs off the ground. Doing this in quick succession made it look like she was bouncing like a rabbit!
