Wolf Rug Couple Howling

Howling is a group performance, and the two wolves on this rug are caught mid voice. The pale wolf on the left has its muzzle straight up and its throat stretched. The darker wolf beside it is pushed further forward, mouth open and teeth showing. A full moon fills the frame behind them, bare branches cut across it, and a misty treeline of pale trunks fades away into grey. Two small bird skulls rest on the branches at the edges.

Why a chorus never lands on one note

When a pack howls together, each animal slides its pitch away from the others instead of matching them. The chorus refuses to settle, and a group of four can sound like a great many more to anything listening from a distance. Biologists call the trick a beau geste, a bluff of numbers. Cold still air carries the sound a long way, which is exactly the weather this scene is painted in.
