The wolf is a warrior, a guide, a playmate, and a hunter. Our perceptions of the spine tingling howl can never be fully understood unless for that split second, our ears capture this serenade. Wolves do not howl at the moon. They hunt at night by the light of the full moon guiding the way. We communicate by talking to one another.
Wolves also talk to each other.
Whether they are looking for a soul mate, trying to find their families whom they have gotten separated from, or proclaiming their territory, this midnight chant will certainly break the silence. The wild debate continues between biologists and elk groups. The group is claiming too many elk are being killed. While biologists say the elk population trends are well within the longterm average. 45 cow elk were collared last year so researchers could study their mortality.
