Another nomination for best male #vocalist, Kenai the #ArcticWolf. #GRAMMYs One of the best-known ways #wolves communicate is by #howling, a soulful song that sounds both melodious and mournful, mysterious and sad. Yet contrary to those impressions, a #wolf’s #howl is a celebration: wolves love to make #music! Wolves howl for many reasons, in #solo or chorus. They howl upon waking up from a long sleep and to rally the pack prior to a hunt. The howl inspires enthusiasm, helps synchronize pack activities, and can be a song of the feast, announcing and defending a kill. Wolves also howl after intense play and social interactions or to communicate positions or keep in touch when separated. Howling creates an acoustic barrier to warn other wolves to stay away, outlining boundaries and signaling location, pack size, and strength. No two wolves hit the same note: they immediately change pitch until discord is reached to make the pack sound larger and more formidable. #animals #nature #sandi...
