'Wolves don't howl only Coyotes'


No wonder Hollywood writers are on strike. Their brains are shot!That was the most ridiculous line of the the movie. You have to be seriously brain dead to not know that wolves howl. Completely stupid and ludicrous.

Otherwise it was an enjoyable film.

Yeah that was pretty stupid. I was like, "What the...??"

I guess the writers have never heard coyotes or wolves. After the filming (and hearing the mother wolf) I bet they felt pretty stupid. Why none of the actors didn't correct the mistake is beyond me.

Many say coyotes howl and I guess one could call the sound they sometimes produce a howl but they mainly produce short, higher pitch sounds.

Their assumptions about wolves not howling are incorrect. Funny how they make things up as they go along. Wolves do howl. Its one of the main forms of cumminication aside from "marking" their territory with their scent. Wolf packs use howling to alert one another of intruders into their territory or to alarm one another if they sense danger to the pack. They howl to cummunicate with their young and their language is unique from pack to pack. Lone wolves rarely howl, especially if they are in another pack's territory because it could be dangerous for them. Possibly fatal. Wolves will attack one another, even in family packs for domination of the pack.

Coyotes yelp and have a very distinctive bark, much a like a heyena's cry. But rarely if EVER howl. Their ommunication is their bark and series of yelps that are also unique from pack to pack. We have coyotes where I live and hear them quite frequently.

It makes me cringe when people don't educate themselves prior to talking or writing about a subject.

I do hope that was directed at the writers of the script for the movie. Everyone that has posted has said that wolves do howl.

Heck yes wolves howl. I can't fathom how that got by the proof readers, the crew, the actors, the director, etc.....

Yes, the movie got it backwards. Wolves howl and coyotes yelp.
