Howling at the moon? No, but video captures chorus of wolves
SALEM, Ore. (AP) - The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has captured video of a wolf pup howling with other members of its pack in northeastern Oregon.
The department posted the video on its website.
It shows a pup by itself in a forested area. Its howls are answered by other wolves in the distance.
Department spokeswoman Michelle Dennehy says the video was captured by a biologist on July 25.
The pup is a member of the Snake River pack, which was first observed in October in the Snake River wildlife management unit, which borders Idaho and includes the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area and Wilderness.
Dennehy says biologists on Thursday successfully fitted the first member of the pack with a radio-tracking collar.

Beautiful!
Cool. My cats just bolted out of the room hearing that.
I was turned around on hunting trip in Montana a few years back.....scared not really ..because I was lost a few times in Vietnam and with the enemy and tigers close by that is when your scared, but my special forces training helped me out there so in the wilderness not to much there to be scared about , I found my way out no problem, but when evening set in it was getting dark about 6 in of snow and in the distance that lonely Howl of a wolf...means you will die ....if not well equipped....plain and simple...they know your there...its just a mater of keeping your wits about and getting out.......ALIVE! Â
Yes, it's a lovely sound - but Mr. Colt is going camping with me...
 @Derek2mk You have more to fear from the two legged animals, than from these wonderful creatures.  Sounds like too many bed time stories.Â
@MMRoach @Derek2mk Yes MMRoach, Which is exactly why Mr. Colt goes with me. 4 leggeds do not bother me.
Such a lonely sound!
Very cool!!
Awesome
