Wolves will use a variety of ways to communicate, such as through vocalization, body language, and scents. In some situations wolves use olfactory communication. Olfactory communication is a scent based way to find items. Wolves also use visual communication. Visual communication is the standard way wolves communicate through showing other wolves what they are doing, also communicating with their body. This may indicate their emotion, it may be a signal, or to show who is most or least dominant. Another form of communication is auditory communication. Examples of auditory communication: Growling, barking, howling, and whimpering. They might howl to show where they are, if they are going on a hunt, mourning for a lost mate, or just socializing.
