His name is Husky and he is an alpha male wolf who is barking and bark-howling after a confrontation with another pack. (read the description of the video)
+moonlight the wolf therian Not at all! Dogs and wolves only diverged 27 to 40 thousand years ago. In fact, wolves and dogs are both subspecies of Canis Lupus. Domestic cats (Felis Catus) and lions (Panthera Leo), on the other hand, are not only two different species, they belong to two different subfamilies (Felinae and Pantherinae) of the Felidae family. They have diverged around 6 to 10 million years ago. A better comparaison would be between the domestic cat (Felis Catus) and the wild cat (Felis silvestris). And both can meow, just as both wolves and dogs can bark.
If people say wolves don't bark......they are a dog......wolves bark it's a dog..... same thing just wolves are the king or whatever of dogs wolves are where dogs come from
Dogs actually aren't wolves, at least, they're domesticated versions of the gray wolves we know today as the species of wolf that dogs were domesticated from is likely long extinct.
Y'all dumb-asses saying that wolves don't bark are totally wrong. Wolves have a different bark than dogs, yes, but they do have the ability to bark. I've lived with wolves and I've only heard one of them bark twice-his name is Reggie-but they still do bark. So thank you for those of you who defend this video and screw you all who say otherwise.
Jonah Berthold thank you! I was camping in Finnskogen near Torsby in Sweden with my French bulldog, beer, firewood and a machete. When I started to assemble the tent I started talking loud and being noisy so that whatever was out there (elk,bear,wolf) would back off. I explained to my self what I was doing, but when I started on the inner tent I was too focused cause it's a bitch. Was quiet for a while when I worked on that. Maybe 2-5 min after I was done I heard barking. First I thought it was game hunting dogs, but then I realized that this was not hunting season and who would let their dogs lose at midnight. I called for pickup, but I could hear barking like a wild bird meets dog. And they responded in what I believe 120-180 degree angle. This was barking for sure, never heard anything like it and my bulldog was scared shitless like me which has never happened before. Had to leave my tent but intend to go back and record that shit. Creepy as hell but this area in Sweden is known for having 25 different wolf packs. I will update
I mean here's a pretty clear video of what's pretty clearly a wolf pretty clearly barking. [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-icDObrsrNr4.html ] Whether the action/sound is technically named barking or something else, it looks and sounds close enough to barking that your average person is gonna call it barking.
Wolves actually do have the ability to bark, but adult wolves don't do it often like dogs. When adult wolves do bark it is usually combined as bark-howls and bark-growls for warnings.
They do bark... when they are fear of something as well as feels that they are in a disadvantage.. they may bark.. and retreat.. Just not as loud as dogs, nor as often as gods
If you are talking about the common pet dogs, especially the small ones and may be the frequency of the dogs barking. Large dogs' barks and howls are indistinguishable from wolves by sound alone.
TheOnlyGBeast Well, hes right.. wolf do bark, although they rarely bark, they prefer to howl. However, when they live together with dogs, they are more likely to bark.
I'm so glad you got it recorded. I had no idea that they barked like this. It can be kind of intimidating, and I imagine that is part of their intent when barking like this. Many wolf researchers have never heard this sound. We are doing research in central Washington State, USA. We discovered the first wolf pack near Seattle since they were extirpated 75 years ago. We've been monitoring their recovery since their discovery about four years ago.
I heard a low pitched double bark close to my tent last night around midnight/1. I was terrified to move for over an hour. I was alone in the western central cascades. The location was too remote and it was too low pitched to be a dog or coyote I think. O.o
Wolves do bark but not very much. They usually bark when they feel nervous or want attention. It's generally softer and much less frequent than a dog's bark and is used for short distance communication. It's sometimes used to warn the pack of danger.
Heard the exact same bark today. We were placing cameras near an active site covered in wolf scat and track. We had just left the site when we heard this EXACT same kind of barking. I wished I had recorded it because your video is the only one I have found with this particular kind of bark. Our cameras showed that in the previous few weeks the pack had begun roaming with their pups and I am sure this was a wolf trying to warn the rest of the pack of our presence. Thanks and cheers!
You don't see a dog either do you? It is much more likely to be a wolf than a dog. We were on a very isolated place on West Redonda Island. We were dropped by a helicopter to do research, There are generally no people there at all. We saw a lot of wolf tracks were we met the animal. I asked a wolf expert in Sweden and he told us wolfs actually do bark sometimes, when they want to chase away intruders or let the pack now they are intruders nearby.
