Aidan – Defending the Pack

 Data and photo provided by wolf watch participant Steven Houglum.

Early in the night of our monthly wolf watch program, participant Steven Houglum reported a bark-howl that occurred in the enclosure. It was up the hill in our enclosure, so we could not see which wolf performed it. The bark-howl is a defensive form of communication, often letting its target know that they need to back off, or stay away from a territory. It’s possible that Aidan performed this bark-howl, perhaps to ward off a wild wolf that may have been near the fence.
