Why Do Wolves Howl

Today, wolf howling is one of the most distinct and well-studied animal vocalizations. The ancestors of domesticated dogs, wolves howl as a form of long-distance communication, conveying a range of information. Because of the high pitch and the suspension of notes, the sounds of wolf howls can carry as far as 6 miles in the forest and even 10 miles across a treeless tundra. Wolf howls serve as GPS systems, sing-alongs and fire alarms -- all rolled into one. In fact, the purpose of wolf howls isn't terribly different from the reasons humans raise their voices to the wind. In general, the primary reasons why wolves howl include: a rally cry for the pack to meet up, a signal to let the pack know of a wolf's location and a warning for outside wolves to stay out of a pack's territory. • http://animals.howstuffworks.com/mamm... • http://www.wochit.com • This video was produced by YT Wochit Entertainment using http://wochit.com
