Minnesota Wolf Pup: Too Cute to be Silent!

Enjoy the squeaky howls from this wolf pup living in Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota! (Sound on!)

Participating in a howl is critical in a wolf pup’s development. Pups might first begin to squeak out un-solicited howls at just a couple of weeks old. But once their ears open and hearing improves at around one month, wolf pups learn about howling as both a communication tool as well as a method of family bonding.

Did we mention they’re also really cute when they howl?
