can you tell me about wolf howls?

*Hunting a bit* The center of a wolf's universe is its pack, and howling is the glue that keeps the pack together. Some have speculated that howling strengthens the social bonds between packmates; the pack that howls together, stays together. Whether howling together actually strengthens social bonds, or just reaffirms them, is unknown.\nWe do know, however, that howling keeps packmates together, physically. Because wolves range over vast areas to find food, they are often separated from one another. Of all their calls, howling is the only one that works over great distances. Its low pitch and long duration are well suited for transmission in forest and across tundra, and unique features of each individual's howl allow wolves to identify each other. Howling is a long distance contact and reunion call.\nTypes of Howls\nPups howl for just about any reason as they learn the social skills of a pack. Indiscriminate howling is usually not a dangerous proposition for young pups, since they tend to be stuck at a rendezvous site that is relatively far from the neighbors, who likely have pups of their own to raise. More importantly, replying to an adult that howls often leads to a meal, since packmates returning with food frequently howl as they near the home site. \n\nLonesome howls are locators so the hunters can find the main pack. When a wolf howls, not only can its packmates hear it, but so can any other wolf within range. These other wolves may be members of hostile adjacent packs that are competitors for territory and prey. Howl too close to these strangers, and they may seek you out, chase you, and kill you. So howling has its costs (running into the opposition) as well as its benefits (getting back with the pack). Consequently, wolves are careful about where and when they howl, and to whom they howl.\n\nConfrontational howls are when a stanger gets in the territory of another pack. This behavior points to the second main purpose of howling: helping to maintain spacing between rival packs. When one pack howls, others nearby may reply. Very quickly, all the wolves know each other's location. By advertising their presence, packs can keep their neighbors at bay and avoid accidentally running into them.\n\nBut the use of howling in spacing is fraught with difficulties. If one pack howls, all its neighbors (within range, of course) now know its location. What if they choose to keep quiet, sneak up, and attack the howlers? Deliberate attacks by one pack on another have been seen, so there are costs to advertising your location. These risks have to be balanced with benefits. An example of this trade-off is sometimes seen during winter, when packs are traveling nomadically within (or even outside) their territories. A pack sitting on a fresh prey kill is very likely to stake its claim and howl, particularly if a stranger howls nearby. As time passes and the kill is consumed, the wolves become less invested in the site and are less likely to reply. Eventually, they may respond to a stranger's howling by silently moving away.\n\nChorus howls are howling with the pack together. \nPack of wolves howling Rather than using howls with a single pure tone, wolves howling in a chorus use wavering or modulated howls. The rapid changes in pitch make it difficult to follow one individual's howls if several others are howling simultaneously.\n\nSo it all boils down to howling is the way that wolves communicate over long distances...\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wolves/howl.html

They do this for many reasons, sometimes it is out of boredom, or there uncomfortable for some reason or trying to get attention, or have you noticed they howl alot when a firetruck or ambulance goes by, they howl because they don't like certain noises and they also howl as language to other dogs....

For some long past unknown sin the Clan Allta was cursed by the Abbot Natalis (who became Saint Natalis).  Two members of the clan had to take the form of a wolf for a period of seven years. Many times they were killed by hunters who did not know they were humans in wolf form. After seven years they returned back into a human and two other members of the clan became wolves. They were known as the Werewolves of Ossory (the Ossory region of Ireland).

Actually wolf removers are more about methods in eliminating unnecessary notes caused by the harmonics on defects that may be present with the cello than just devices. it could be anything used to prevent an unnecessary vibration from a defect producing the wolf like "howl" or note, most immanent in the sound chamber than the strings alone. May be attributed to a crack on the sound post, chamber walls, a loose material or cleat that resonate when a note is played. At any rate, if a wolf is present, a reputable expert craftsman for such an instrument should be consulted for needed repairs or adjustments.\n~meow

a Wolf. Better to live alone and prey then follow others and be preyed upon.

Oh you POOR thing! Nobody ever told you? Were you raised by wolves or something. My guess would be Rumplestilksin.

your friend has a problem she barely shares to anyone(a dark secret perhaps). the wolf represents the problem, now you say it was growling and showing its teeth, this means whatever the problem is, it will have a major impact to your friends life, about the stone, you are trying to help your friend solve the problem but she has second thoughts about something, eventually the problem would be solved. not sure if you are the one who solved it

Sure... I assume that you are looking for Wolf\n\nFirst things first, get yourself the skin of said animal.. if you aren't comfortable with a wolf skin you probably shouldn't be changing into one. You can get one from Moscow Hide and Fur.\n\nFocus your energies on a wolf or deity associated with wolves. A focus on the transformative macrocosm will help you accept the possibility of the transformation\n\nPractice meditation on the animal while listening to its calls ... you can order tapes easily on-line.\n\nGo for a run in your skin and nothing else. The faster you run the better. If you use two walking sticks while you run you will have better results. Use the clicking of the sticks as a meditative base for your transformation... when you stop hearing the clicking you are there.\n\nBest case scenario find some wolves to assist you

LOL, haven't any good wolf jokes lately, sorry.  I think the gospel of little red riding hood really fractured the Cathabaptawolfacostal community...
