Funny Animal Video: Shaun Ellis Teaches Baby Wolf to Howl

Howl you doin'?

In the clip below, wolf researcher Shaun Ellis teaches a young pup how to open up its pipes.

At first, this baby wolf isn't interested in doing anything more than whimpering and lazing about in Ellis' arms. But when his human counterpart threatens to outdo him in the howling department, his vocal chords kick into gear. Although the baby's first howls sound more like squeaks, when he throws his head back, we can just picture him doing the real thing in front of a full moon.
