Wolves howl for a variety of reasons. Pack members will chorus howl to defend their territory and rally the pack together. Most howls heard in the pack are chorus howls (involving three or more wolves). These group “sing-a-longs” may be started by any pack member, or they may be a response to the howling of a neighboring pack of wolves or a coyote. Wolves will even howl in response to something that just sounds similar to a howl, like a train whistle, fire or police car siren or even a human howling! Such howls, though social in nature, also serve to defend the pack’s territory against other wolves. Wolves can recognize the voices of others. The howl of a packmate, of a known neighboring pack or a complete stranger will all solicit different responses. Contrary to popular belief, wolves do not howl at the full moon any more often than at any other time of month. They also do not howl just at night. They do howl more frequently during the hours around sunrise and sunset, for they are more active in general then.

Wolves also howl more often in the winter months than in the summer. However they can be heard howling any time of day any time of the year. These howls were recorded at Wolf Park several years ago. They are recorded as .wav files, and require a player such as Windows Media Player, QuickTime, or WinAmp. We also have wolf howl CDs available! Audio CD featuring Wolf Park’s wolves howling.

Males are typically larger than females and can weigh up to 88 pounds. Red wolves once roamed throughout the eastern United States, but they now inhabit a small portion of their former range. Most red wolves can be found in zoos, but a small group has been introduced to North Carolina’s Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.Status Critically endangered, red wolves were nearly driven to extinction by overhunting. Ranchers and farmers often targeted the species, believing it to be a threat to livestock, but scientists have since shown that the wolves primarily pursue non-domestic prey. Lincoln Park Zoo participates in the Red Wolf Species Survival Plan®, a shared conservation effort by zoos throughout the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.Habitat This canine species primarily occupies wetlands, forests and mountainous areas. Red wolves prey on a range of species, including raccoons, rabbits, deer, and rodents and small mammals. Red wolf packs typically consist of a breeding pair and their previous year's offspring, although larger groups have been observed.
