Algonquin Park Wolf Howl with Michael Runtz 

OMG I CANT BELIEVE THE WOLVES HOWLED BACK! AMAZING!!!!!!

He knows the language....much respect from this pact.

We did a howl once and got a reply. It was so amazing. Their howls are so hauntingly beautiful 🤩

What an incredible howl you were able to produce - made me shiver. The pack responding in the distance somewhere beyond the trees was really beautiful and haunting - thank you for the education on wolves and this wonderful experience.

Hey Michael I was one of your students back in early 2000's! My husband and I were snowshoeing in the park last January and we saw lots of tracks! The park is still our favourite place to be! You are still as awesome as every I see!

Damn, my man sounds like an air raid siren at first. That's amazing

That is absolutely incredible and just magical to hear the wolves howl back..wow I wish I was there, amazing 🤩

Hello Michael! We were the family you met today at Basin Depot. Thank you for giving our kids a quick howling lesson, it definitely helped us!

Wonderful video. I've been lucky to hear them once so far on a canoe trip in Algonquin. Was an incredible experience.

Thanks Michael. Your howling is remarkable . The wolves were impressed !

Thanks very much for this! I have been in Algonquin park in August many times and every time the public wolf howls have been cancelled. This was amazing! Thank you!

Oh my goodness - I absolutely love the image of the milky way nighttime sky with the firs on the edges. I really enjoyed this virtual experience.

I remember when I was around 8 or so my dad had taken me to do wolf howling at night as we lived not too far from Algonquin. We actually had an entire pack come around us and you could see their eyes reflecting the light in the dark, it was pretty awesome.

Really enjoyed this video! We heard wolves howling like this at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park last winter!

Thank you for sharing this amazing experience! It sent chills up and down my spine. Wonderful!

Fantastic! Very cool to have them respond during the day. Brings back fond memories of my friend and I driving up Arrowhon Road to the north end of Mizzy Lake Trail to call the wolves in the middle of the night. Such an amazing experience to hear them respond.

I was a student of Mike’s at Carleton University in Ottawa. Loved his classes!

Why did his howl make me emotional?! 🥺

CONFIRMED .....HE HAD ALL MY WOLVES ANSWERING BACK. 100% THIS MAN IS THE REAL DEAL

Thank for explaining. Amazing ❤ this made me cry. Something about it touched my soul.

Wow that's amazing!! I never imagined it to be this loud and a chorus from all sides... It's thrilling. Want to experience this once

Awesome vid, love wolves, such a beautiful and gracious animal...thanks for sharing this beautiful vid with us

Loved the video! I was actually lucky enough to see a wolf along the Arowhon Pines Road 4 years ago! Heard wolves on 4 public howls too

Thank you so much! My granddaughter (5 1/2)) and I really enjoyed this presentation. We know play wolves with her being the pup at the the rondevous sight!

This was amazing, went on both your Howls last summer ('19) and it was incredible ... will have to venture out one evening this week... I am pretty sure I know where this was done. Thank you for sharing your experiences with everyone, and educating.

I would've run for my life if I heard the howling 😱😱

Wow the whole forest just lit up with howls. What a beautiful experience that must be.

Michael is amazing!!!

Absolutely stunning, thank you. xx ❤

that was awesome....thanks for posting that

This vid is long overdue by you guys but it was worth the wait, that was amazing!!

Such a beautiful animal.

Thank you! Love your work!

I was on the second howl in Algonquin Park back in the seventies still thrilling yo hear them

This guy is my #1 fav prof and is a full time beauty

This should help my calling a lot. Interacted with a few wolves before. Life in the NWT. You definitely found your calling, sir!

Well done, Mike.

Thats amazing they just showed up and made a bit of a fibber out of you. I love wolves they sound so beautiful.

This is so cool!

Big Respect For u Sir

I went on a wildflower hike at the Algonquin Two Rivers east beach, conducted by Michael Runtz, around 2001 or 2003 or so. My son was bored and started playing, and Mr. Runtz flipped out yelling at him.

amazing!

It's beautiful

That was really cool

i enjoy very much !

Beautiful

this is sooooo coool i cant wait to be there for real it sounds so haunting

I really hope in 8 months to be there!!❤❤

That was incredible. Is there an ideal time and location to do a howl? Does that harm the vocal cords in any way? What voice exercise does he do?

3:34 absolute chills 😱

Wonderful... how did he learn to howl like that?

Awesome

that one at 9.56 was great

i CAN'T HELP BUT WANT TO HOWL WITH YOU

Have a question. Any idea where I can I find copies of "Wild by Nature" DVD's? I have The Rut and the Howl of August. It was a great series hosted by Michael Runtz.

That would be so exciting

BTW since they moved the wolf paddock, the Metro Toronto Zoo wolves howl each afternoon around 3:30 - 4:30 pm (at least when I went recently) when the freight train goes by.

Wolves are saying "What the fuck is that weird sound? It is not from ours!"

My grandmothers house is in a pretty,modern willage with aroud 60 houses spread along the road and on the sides for no more than 2 km. It is surrounded by thicc forest,there were no wolves after war but later they returned. I remember as a kid, a decade after war my uncle made a small weekend cottage,its beautiful just like in movies. Its located aproximatelly 300 meters away from grandmothers house uphil and cottage oversees entire willage and mountains in the back,its simply stunning. I was able to chill there,call my friends to spend nights and so on. Behind the cottage,that continues uphil,around 100 meters it starts very thick forest and goes for miles. Even then as a teenager,,altough kinda scared i enjoyed spending nights alone there with open window on the upper floor,even freezing in bed just to listen to the wolves howling. It still gives me goosebumps after all these years.

As a wolf i must say that he howls better than most of us

soul full

Bellissimo sentire il coro dei lupi

Oh ..I love this so much ,,,Can we do a coyote howl one also

الله يكفينا من شره

My dog is diggin' it.

A friend of mine saw this about a week ago and he said he did not know wolves can howl in the daytime.

I Salute you.Peace

What is this bird? Sounds like some sort of jay at 11:41 ?

I love wolves

I wish I lived near a forest, I'm a therian and my theriotypes are wolf fox and cat, it would be amazing for a wolf to howl back

He reminds me of Christopher Lloyd :o Wolfs: what's going on, who is that insistent creature? Let's howl back, he must be really lonely.

Son of a wolf

I want to work for yo and work with wolves. TELL ME HOW TO

Your howl made my dog jump lol

I can howl exactly like a wolf no one can get better than me

me howling along be like O-o siren man????

Now I can see how we tamed the wolf 🐺

I want to do this

Where in Alqonquin exactly is this?

I was ready for another false falsetto pretending he sounds good. But you're the real mccoy. Sounded great and using different tones with each howl.

Now that's a call to get eaten 😂

That is one of the creepiest sounds!

I do a good one and yes with practice I block of the nasal passage a bit ,lol my son thought it was a video ,i was in the bedroom.

Hi can i like talk to you?

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

Why is everyone looking at me weird when I do this on the subway?

3:43 wolves howl

not trying to bully or sound rude but u sound like a siren while howling

Just imagine camping here alone at night 🥴🥴

I'm not an expert or hating on this but from what I've seen wolves mostly have voice cracks too

That’s a lot of dogs

A+++++++

🍀....

No wonder people thought they were spirits

2:17 Starts here

no way omg

This nikka was possessed by a wolf for a min

Are you trying to call leman russ? Because that’s how you get leman russ!

They are saying, back off go away or else

But, what if, another pack of Emmett Browns is howling back at him ? 😮
