In a bid to spread ‘good feeling’ among one another, the Wolf Conservation Center explained that the wolves ‘sing’ to make music just like humans. While taking to Twitter, the organisation shared a video of two wolves howling in total sync. The short-clip posted with an explanation of detailed behaviour of the animals has left several internet users surprised.
In the caption, the organisation explained that such behaviour in animals is known as ‘social glue’. They added that the behaviour is similar to ‘spreading a good feeling’ like people around a campfire or the feeling of ‘closer to one another’. They further said that through ‘songs’, the wolves ‘reaffirm social bonds with one another’ and it is the ‘same idea’ of spreading happiness like humans.
Did you know that sometimes wolves sing just to make music, as we do?

It's called 'social glue' - a spreading of good feeling like people singing around a campfire, feeling closer to one another - it’s that same idea: through song, wolves reaffirm social bonds with one another. pic.twitter.com/sRxEmntNcH

Since shared, the clip has been viewed over 32,000 times. With more than 4,500 likes and several comments, internet users also called the video ‘beautifully haunting’.

Call of the wild,beautiful,pure,nature! Wolves howl the natural echo's of life! Without them there is eerily stillness & the life heart is taken out of Mother nature.
