Date of Public Wolf Howl: Thursday,
August 2, 2007
Location: East Park Boundary (east of East Gate)
Result: Successful
Total number of vehicles: 372
Estimated number of people in attendance: 1,488
Number of staff working: 21
How the pack was found:
This pack was first found by the naturalist staff on Tuesday, July
31, during normal wolf scouting duties. On Wednesday night, staff
again went to the site but the pack did not respond after 3 single
and 3 group howls. One staff member went back an hour later and the
pack responded after 5 single howls.
What happened at the howl?
All cars moved to the howling site in good time and we were able
to start the first howling sequence shortly after 10:00 p.m. The
pups and perhaps one or two adults responded after the second single
human howl. After the ten-minute break, we howled again but were unsuccessful
in our second attempt.
Comments:
Although the night was very warm and humid, and the sound was not
carrying very well, everyone should have been able to hear the wolves.
The pack remained in the same location from the previous nights.
