Mom is the Best Teacher

What a heart-warming sight. We can only assume that the mamma wolf is teaching her young ones how to howl. The social animals howl as a means of communication. They use the sounds to tell their pack members about their location, show affection, or scare off rivaling packs or lone wolves from their territories.

A wolf’s howl can travel up to 10 miles. The Wolf Conservation Center states that each coyote’s close relative has a unique voice with its distinctive feature allowing family members to identify one another. A chorus howl is when a pack howls simultaneously, and it often helps them mark and maintains the large territories they are known for.
