Short or long, howling helps wolves identify and locate other wolves. A chorus by a pack lasts only 30 to 120 seconds, and perhaps longer during breeding season.
Harrington and Asa write that an average howl from a single wolf lasts only three to seven seconds. But howling is not a long-lasting communication like scent marking. A wolf can hear another wolf’s howl more than six miles away in a forest and almost ten miles away in an open area. Other researchers found that when wolves are close together, howling sounds discordant, but when separated by at least ten yards, howling sounds harmonious. Noisy sounds such as growls, snarls, woofs, and barks are made when acting aggressive or dominant. Harmonic sounds such as whimpers, whines, and yelps are used when acting friendly and submissive. But another six months must pass before a pup grows into its adult voice.Īdult wolf sounds, according to one researcher, can be divided into two categories: harmonic and noisy. By three to four weeks of age-when emerging from the den with adult level hearing-pups can make all the sounds of an adult and howl with the pack. During those first two weeks, even though the pups can’t hear, their mother can hear them as they moan, whine, squeal, and scream. Pups are deaf at birth, start to hear by Day 14, and by Day 20 reach their adult hearing level. According to Fred Harrington and Cheryl Asa in Wolves: Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation, howling can “instantly reach an audience from near to far at any time day or night…” But much of the vocal communication between wolves is quieter, like the subtle sounds made by pups in a dark den. Howling, the most well-known type of wolf communication, is a known attention grabber. Skilled communicators, wolves choose what they need to get their message across: during the day, for example, they may communicate with posture, but at night howling or other vocal signals may work better. They also use their senses of smell and sight, touch and taste. They use their voice and face, their posture and fur, even their tail. Each piece is packaged and delivered with a Certificate verifying its edition number and authenticity.Wolves, like people, communicate in many ways. This is a limited edition of 500 pieces only. This collectible is made possible with a new minting technique called “Bi-Metal Plus”, which combines 11.5 oz of copper embodied within two layers of 999 pure Silver totaling 2 oz, to deliver a super ultra-high relief topped with silver antiqued finishing. Collectors will enjoy all of the beautiful colors of the Northern Lights with this piece as well as the power and presence of the noble wolf. The obverse of the design shows a stylized wolf pack in movement featuring the legal tender, the Coat of Arms du Tchad. The reverse of the coin features the howling wolf and the moon in antiqued silver and with the Northern Lights colored in the background. This piece ably captures the wonder that the Northern Lights evoke and pair the movement and beauty of this natural event with the power and haunting loneliness of the wolf. Legends about giants, war and famine, or evil portent aside, these are beautiful natural occurrences that never fail to create a lasting impression upon those who witness them. In medieval times, the presence of the Northern Lights was thought to portend war or famine and the Maori in New Zealand thought that the lights were reflections of the lights of their campfires or possibly the campfires of enemies. Some of the legends have named the lights Aurora Borealis, which means “dawn of the north”. There are many creation stories and tribal cultural stories related to the beautiful and haunting Northern Lights. These signs of sunspot activity have long been associated with mythology and many early human groups and societies attributed mythical powers to the Northern Lights. The Northern Lights are the result of charged particles that are colliding with the sun’s atmosphere and are often green, blue, and even pink in color. People travel every year to locations where this natural event can be witnessed and express how moving they found the experience to be. This natural phenomenon that colors the sky above the magnetic poles of the earth is famous for its elemental and phenomenal beauty.
