Wolves hunt in coordinated packs, so long-distance communication is critical to a successful kill.
However, wolves hunt in mountainous areas, so their howling is left vulnerable to echoes that can distort their ability to communicate.
To combat this, wolves howl at a frequency that will not echo. This allows them to confirm the exact location of their hunting partners,
which helps them to ambush unsuspecting prey.
