Children of the Night: Will Howling at the Moon Help Wolves to Breed?

“A wolf expert is howling at the moon around

a British stately home to encourage a pack of timber wolves to

breed.

As dusk falls at Lord Bath’s Longleat estate, Shaun Ellis creeps up on the eight-strong pack in

the wildlife sanctuary and imitates the noise of a lone wolf. Colleague Jan Williams plays

tapes of wolf pack noises.

The idea is to kid the pack into believing there are larger packs prowling around and make

them more competitive breeders.”
