Wolf sound clips
I've recorded several sound clips of the wolves, but until now they've been buried deep in the diary entries. This page provides an easier way to listen to the wolves of the Trust - enjoy!

wolves3.mp3 Recorded in July 2004
All seven wolves feature in this clip, recorded standing by Duma and Dakota's enclosure. Kenai's two-tone howl is especially noticeable. (0:28)
octwolves.mp3 Recorded in October 2004
The European wolves started off howling as usual, but then decided to "rally", amongst much tail wagging and muzzle licking. (0:56)
oct31wolves.mp3 Recorded in October 2004
When the wolves howl, they often go on for a long time. This recording was made close to the European enclosure and features "rallying" at roughly six, ten and eleven minutes into the clip.(13:15)
dakota.mp3 Recorded in November 2004
Duma and Dakota usually howl together, but this time they didn't. Here's a short clip of Dakota howling. (0:13)
howl4.mp3 Recorded in November 2004
An unusual recording due to the proximity of the wolf! I was standing by the Euro enclosure with Duma and Dakota howling next door. Latea, two feet away from me, decided to join in. Note that this MP3 is loud and quite piercing. (1:23).
jan30.mp3 Recorded in January 2005
The European wolves started howling and (eventually) the others decided to join in. (1:52)
febwolves.mp3 Recorded in February 2005
In the midst of breeding season, the European pack saw great upheaval as Lunca and Latea switched positions. That doesn't stop them from howling though and there was almost a rally on this freezing cold February morning. (1:26)
marwolves.mp3 Recorded in March 2005
A month later on a blustery morning I arrived to be greeted by all seven wolves howling - this clip was recorded near the European wolf enclosure. (1:02)
may.mp3 Recorded in May 2005
As seen in the picture above, the European wolves decided to howl just a couple of feet away from me. The recording features all three and is an example of how invidiual tones harmonise when several wolves join in. (1:55)

Wolf video clips
apr.mpg Recorded in April 2005
Duma and Dakota (and the other wolves) usually hear me coming long before I reach their enclosure. On an April morning D&D were lying at the far end of their enclosure and after spotting me at the fence Duma first loped, then ran full tilt towards me... (0:14)
