Sings with Wolves

By Alex in Animals & Pets on Jun 19, 2008 at 5:29 pm

The Chongqing Wild Zoo in China is creating a musical group that is unlike any other: they’re trying to teach wolves to sing…

Luo Yong, a keeper at Chongqing Wild Zoo, said he discovered the wolves’ singing ability by accident, reports People’s Daily.

"Once I was playing guitar and singing the song ‘I Am A Wolf From The North’, and a young wolf I raised walked up to me and stared at me. Suddenly he howled with the rhythm, and even patted the strings with his claw," he said.

Luo said that ever since he dedicated himself to training his wolf group, and now all 30 wolves at the zoo can sing along to a rhythm.

    Reminds me of the New Guinea singing dog. Totally a real dog.

    Is it crazy that I can only imagine them howling “On Top Of Old Smokey”

    All that singing makes them hungry, and the guitar won´t be enough.

    From the article:

    “My next plan is to find someone to write a song just for them, and also to find people to teach them disco dancing,” he added optimistically.

    When wolves disco dance…..the last sign of the apocalypse.
