One morning last week, Katy and I were in Explore The Wild when the wolves started howling. Katy managed to record it with her camera. It was awesome to watch them howling in front of us, so make sure to watch the video and have the volume up!
(Special thanks to Sherry for spending 19 minutes of her time downloading the video so that she could unknowingly steal this post from me, until Katy stopped her and told her the post was mine…)
Please post more of these videos.
I really enjoyed viewing the howling.
Is that an ambulance siren in the background? Were they howling at a siren?
MY GERMAN SHEPHERD & I LISTENED TO THE HOWLING TOGETHER. HE WAS VERY ATTENTIVE AND EXCITED. BUT HE DID NOT JOIN IN.
ALTOGETHER IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE HAVING A VERY GOOD COMMUNAL SING!
Linda, we will certainly try our best to get more videos up like this for you to see and hear!
Emily, yes! They were, in fact, howling at a siren. Sirens are the #1 thing that will get our wolves to howl. For them, the sirens must sound similar to a wolf (or wolves) from another pack howling.
Phil, glad your german shepherd found it interesting!
i love wolves
I have never heard red wolves, thanks for the chance! I do think they sound alot more “coyote” in their energy & vocals altho their deeper voices are more wolfy. I am an animal keeper for wolves and coyotes at Animal Ark, a sanctuary for non releasables in Reno, NV.
