The wolf in the video takes a break from wandering the Minnesota wilderness to howl before lying down for a nap.
howl mainly to communicate with each other, especially across long distances. The howl of a wolf can tell others of its location, as well as providing information on prey and warnings that predators are nearby.
But wolves may howl for more reasons than scientists currently understand. For example, some packs have daily howling 'choruses,' which could be a way of strengthening their bonds with each other.."Not sure what we enjoyed more: hearing a few howls or watching [the male] struggle to keep his eyes open before eventually dozing off!"
The Voyagers Wolf Project tracks the wolves throughout the summer in order to better understand their behavior. It is not always certain that camera traps will be successful as they are often set up in remote areas. The Half-Moon Pack roams a western territory of the Voyageurs National Park. The pack had the largest litter of any pack last year with eight pups—the largest litter ever recorded by the project was nine. This does not mean they are all still alive however. It is common for pups to die within their first year from disease, poaching and predation from other wolves.
There are between 30 and 50 wolves living in Voyageurs National Park, split between six to nine packs.Jupiterimages/Getty Images
