The post also detailed that this behaviour of the animals is known as ‘social glue’. “A spreading of good feeling like people singing around a campfire, feeling closer to one another - it’s that same idea: through song, wolves reaffirm social bonds with one another,” they explained.

The 24-second-long video shows two wolves howling in total sync and it’s beautiful to hear. Take a look at the video to experience it yourself:

With over 27,000 views and close to 4,200 likes, people couldn’t stop gushing over the video. While several people shared their surprise, there were also many who wrote that they can listen to the song of the wolves all day long.

“And a beautiful song it is,” wrote a Twitter user. “I never get tired of listening to them sing!” expressed another. “They are beautiful,” expressed another and they’re right as the animals are majestic-looking. “I love this so much,” wrote a fourth.

“I had no idea that wolves sing like humans,” wrote a surprised Twitter user and many shared the same reaction.
