This is what 50 wolves howling sounds like. | Wolf Conservation Center

Why do wolves howl? Howling may be heard during the day or at night, it's not a behavior directed at the moon. Instead it's used as a social rally, a hail to hunt or as a territorial expression. Did you know that wolves have different howls that can be heard 6-7 miles away? A howl can also help a lost wolf find its way home. A wolf separated from it's pack uses a lonesome howl, a shortened call that rises in pitch, if answered the wolf then responds with deep, even howls to inform the pack of it

One of the ways in which wolves interact with one another is through howling. A wolf’s howl is a vocalization, which means that it’s a sound produced in order to communicate. Wolves howl to communicate their location to other pack members and to ward off rivaling packs from their territory. It’s also been found that wolves will howl to their own pack members out of affection. #funfactfriday #howling #bekindtoanimals #shywolfsanctuary | Shy Wolf Sanctuary
