they are constantly exploring.
For Dave Mech,
this unusually intimate view provided
important new information.
Already the benefits of watching
became apparent when I was
able to see them nursing.
I could determine how long the pups
nursed at each bout,
how many bouts there were each day,
and then watch this progress
throughout the summer
until finally weaning took place.
Although it's almost midsummer,
the day is freezing cold
A new experience for the pups.
of life in the den,
sheltered by their mother's warmth.
get away from the chilling wind.
The pups are a picture of
quiet innocence,
wicked wolves howling
for blood in the night.
Still, it's the howl that has always
intrigued Jim Brandenburg.
Well, of all the sounds of nature
wolf howl is the most evocative
and the most mysterious.
I believe also that wolves have
possibly gotten their bad reputation
because of the howl.
To the wolves,
howling is a very important part of
communication their community spirit.
It's sort of like the glue that
holds the family together.
I'd never been able to watch
wild wolves while they were howling.
So! Wanted to look at howling very
closely in all of its forms.

Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah.
You know I sneezed today and the
wolves all looked up.
And I was reminded that that probably
means to them there's danger coming.
They didn't know if one of the
wolves did it or...
Yeah.
Then they realized it was me.
It's that staccato kind of a sound.
The mid-back, the one
that's really dominant,
came over to the pups
and they all ran up to it,
And they started mobbing
her like they do,
and she was kind of upset
in the process.
And she kind of barked at em.
And it was just a half bark,
but instantly both Mom and Shaggy
ran right up to her with tail
between their legs and their rump
was down and completely submissive.
It was a wonderful display,
but it was all provoked
by that one half bark.
So, you know, I wish we could
But it's sure intriguing
to watch them all.
There are equally intriguing topics,
such as the behavior of the pups.
