Sometimes Wolves Sing Just to Make Music, as We Do

Did you know that sometimes wolves sing just to make music, as we do?
It's called 'social glue' - a spreading of good feeling like people singing around a campfire, feeling closer to one another - it’s that same idea: through song, wolves reaffirm social bonds with one another.
Zephyr and Alawa are captive-born gray wolves at the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC), a 501c3 non-profit organization, in South Salem, NY. They are two of the three 'ambassador wolves' at the WCC that help teach the public about wolves and their vital role in the environment.
If you want to watch Zephyr, Alawa, Nikai or the WCC's critically endangered Mexican gray wolves or red wolves in live time, visit our live wolf webcams at www.nywolf.org/webcams. If you see something cool, let us know!
For more information about wolves and the WCC's participation in wolf recovery, please visit our website at www.nywolf.org and follow us on Facebook ( / nywolforg ) and twitter ( / nywolforg , and Instagram ( / wolfconservationcenter )

LMFAOOO

[@Contessa6363]

Such beautiful animals!❤ They don't deserve the treatment they have had!

[@IJustWantToUseMyName]

My dog just groaned. Apparently he didn’t appreciate their singing waking him up.

[@AK-jt7kh]

*pack of howling wolves wakes your dog up* Your Dog: Keep it down dammit! ...that’s about like me being woken up. Total disregard for the strangeness or potential danger of the situation. Just pissed.

[@sarahbasto6520]

Hahaha my cat miraculously woke up

[@wolfenmann1]

Yeah. My dog watches intently (seriously!) and then struggles to get away to another room when he hears wolves howling / singing.

[@Hyenla28]

Lol

[@suzannebutcher2967]

Beautiful music. Wolves have always gotten a bad reputation. They play a vital role in the wild. We need more wolf songs in life.🐺💝

[@EverestIX-kd9vz]

A bad reputation? Oh yeah seen as horrible beasts lol. My theriotype is wolf so I look to the good side the most 😅

[@seecanon5840]

I once had a malamute wolf mix. He was a beautiful creature. The way I rescued him was being bit through my heel because he wanted the kitten I had. Took the rabies shots ( yes all 28 as this was in the1950s ), never regretted taking them as I was 6 and kept my King. His feet were huge and because of his size and my mothers love of lamps, was banished from the living room. He loved to run in the desert, loved the snow and loved me. That's all that mattered until he'd sing with his brothers and sisters. Brought many a rabbit home for his dinner.

[@TheOrientalNightFish]

I can't tell if this is a duet or a sing-off!! 😄

[@stellarlight5626]

Honestly I howl with my dog all the time and would totally join in

[@gwenratcliffe3815]

It's such a beautiful, stirring hymn, their howl. I have always loved the howl of wolves. It touches something deep and elemental within one's soul.

And that's why I always like to say wolves "sing" 🥰.

[@Techhunter_Talon]

The title makes me think of how in Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess that, as a wolf, you can howl out songs and even have a little duet with a spirit who takes on the form of a wolf.
