Yes, wolves can bark. They can also howl, whine, and make other sounds. Wolves rarely bark like dogs. Instead they use a low-in-tone short bark, usually used to warn pack mates of intruders.

Answer

Wolves can bark, though they are most famous for their howl. Many stories have wolves in them, and the wolf is often described as evil, like The Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood. Wolves are misjudged for many things. They really aren't that bad...I have been studying them for three years, And I know a few things about them. In a pack, their barks and howls and growls help them, though some think that they are just doing it for fun. In a pack, wolves may howl at different pitches and volumes so that it sounds like there are more of them and that they are a stronger pack. That way, enemy and bordering wolf packs will know to stay out of their way because it seems like there are more of them. Wolves up in the snowy areas will bury their muzzle in the snow and howl so that their prey will think that the wolves are farther away, because the snow muffles their howl. Growls will warn other wolves to stay back. Whines will tell other members of the pack different things, at different pitches. Whelps (Wolf pups) whine the most of any member, though the adults and alphas and betas will whine in pain, if they smell something, etc. Barks often warn other wolves to stay back. I know that I'm saying more than you asked...oh, well.
