Few noises are as recognizable as a wolf’s howl echoing through the forest at night. But it appears that practice is required to perfect that spine-tingling cry.
Ask this wolf pup, please.
Researchers from the Voyageurs Wolf Project, a group that aims to study the behavior of wolves in northern Minnesota, recently captured some adorable footage on one of their forest cameras.
In it, a baby wolf is seen approaching the camera — before making his presence known with a few tiny howls.
“Listen to some of this wolf pup’s first howls from only a few weeks ago! ” Voyageurs Wolf Project wrote. “A little warning: The pup is pretty loud for only being 4-weeks old!”
Although the wolf pup appears to be alone on camera, other wolves can also be heard crying out, perhaps used by the youngster’s family to keep an eye on one another.
It’s possible that from these meek howls, the pup may one day scream out with a mature voice, echoing through his wild habitat as it did for countless generations before him.
