How do wolves say hello?
Have you seen dogs jump up to greet their owners, bark at strangers, or roll over when another dog approaches? Then you already know something about how wolves communicate. Dogs ingerited most of their language from their ancestors, the wolves.

Wolves use three different languages:

Sound - Howls, Barks, Whimpers, and Growls
Special Scents - Including Scent Marking
Body Language - Body Positions and Movements

See the body language or signal each wolf is using for each wolf message below. Look closely at the face, ears, tail and body. Each message can be used more than once.

Hello!
Let's Play
I won't fight ... I'll obey
I'm the leader
This is my territory
Stay away...
