How wolves vocalize

Tiffi takes out her phone and googles to see if there are different ways that wolves can vocalize.
‘When you hear a wolf howl in the night – they are not howling at the moon–they are communicating. They call any time of the day, but they are most easily heard in the evening when the wind dies down and wolves are most active. Wolves’ vocalizations can be separated into four categories: barking, whimpering, growling, and howling. Sounds created by the wolf may actually be a combination of sounds such as a bark-howl or growl-bark.
Barking is used as a warning. A mother may bark to her pups because she senses danger, or a bark or bark-howl may be used to show aggression in defense of the pack or territory.
Whimpering may be used by a mother to indicate her willingness to nurse her young. It is also used to indicate “I give up.” if they are in a submissive position and another wolf is dominating them.
Growling is used as a warning. A wolf may growl at intruding wolves or predators, or to indicate dominance.
Howling is the one form of communication used by wolves that is intended for long distance. A defensive howl is used to keep the pack together and strangers away, to stand their ground and protect young pups who cannot yet travel from danger, and protect kill sites. A social howl is used to locate one another, rally together and possibly just for fun.’ (Info here)
Tiffi realizes that this poor little wolf needs to verbalize with a social howl. She finds a video of baby wolf pups howling and shows it to the wolf so that he can hear what a social howl sounds like.
Now it’s time for him to practice howling. He howls with all his might. Tiffi thinks that maybe the pack is too far off so they can’t hear him howling. She tells the wolf that they should start walking because his pack might not be close enough for his pack to hear him. They choose a path and start walking.
