Do Wolves Bark Like Dogs?

Dogs and wolves have descended from the same species and hence share a remarkable number of characteristics and features like hunting in packs as well as the ability to bark. It has been seen and heard that wolves indeed bark contrary to popular beliefs that they can only howl, though the circumstances in which they use this trait is rare and infrequent. Most wolves give a short warning bark when confronted by any danger to warn their puppies and other wolves.

The trait of barking seen in dogs is believed to be a result of their domestication and seen as a sign of communication between dogs and human beings as well as a sound to indicate danger; often a dog will respond to his master's whistle with a bark. Wolves are also known to growl and bark at any intruders in their territory; a similar trait is observed in dogs.
