Have
you ever heard the plaintive howl of the wolf and wondered what
was communicated in that mournful song? Why does your dog scratch
with its paws after urinating or defecating? Better yet, why does
your dog roll in the most putrid object it can find while out on
a dog adventure? During this evening program, we'll not only answer
these questions, but learn about the various ways in which wolves
communicate with each other through vocalizations, sense of smell,
and body language. After a thorough classroom discussion and introduction
to “howling etiquette”, we'll drive backroads and logging
roads, making stops to howl in an attempt to illicit responses
from wild packs of wolves.
Dates Offered: 6/29,
7/31, 9/17 Limit: 12 Minimum Age: 8 (under 16 must be accompanied by
an adult) Location: Meet at Finlandia University Portage
