of eastern Arizona. It's just cell phone video so the sound quality
is
not great, and
since it
was dark there
is no visual to accompany the
sound. Still, you can easily hear an entire chorus of wolves howling.
In addition to howling you can hear barking, which may sound like
domestic dogs but is in fact also the wolves. As of March 2024 there
were an estimated
257 Mexican
Gray Wolves living in the wild in
Mexico and the American southwest. Only 113 of them are
in Arizona so I feel very fortunate to have heard them.
The video file is fairly large so it may take a minute to download.
