Wolves only appear to be howling at the moon. In reality they are simply communicating with one another. Sometimes this communication is between members of the same pack and sometimes the communication is between members of different packs.
Grey Wolves actually don't howl at the moon. People hear wolves howling the most during a full moon, because it is the most likely time, during the night, that a wolf pack would be hunting because they are using the light of the moon to see. And the howling keeps the wolves together.
Have you ever heard a wolf howling at the moon? It's a pretty

unmistakable sound! So, why do wolves like the moon so much and always

howl at it??The answer is that scientists have found that wolves' howling

doesn't actually have very much (if anything) to do with the moon. Most likely,

the reason we associate the howling with the moon is that wolves are more

active on bright, clear nights, so we mostly hear them howling on nights when

we can also see the moon. It's probably just a coincidence that the two so

often occur together! In truth, most researchers have found that wolves'

howling is much more about communicating with each other. Howls are used by

wolves to say many things - they can express happiness, loneliness, or can be

a way of letting other wolves know where they're at! And even though they're

most famous for howling, wolves can also bark, yelp, growl, and whimper!

WOLVES ARE AWESOME!

Answer 3

After a wolf has found a mate for the year they must find a territory or den to raise their pups, when they have found a territory they howl to warn other animals and wolves to back off that land, it's their way of marking territory along with urinating over most of the land.

Wolves don't have many predators but their pups would make a good meal to a coyote, eagle or bear, so this is why they must be very overprotective about this.

Wolves may also howl to attract a mate.

Howling is also used to call back a mate from hunting if there is an emergency.
