The animal world continues to amaze us. Wolves are animals that have a strong sense of hearing, and scientists have revealed a new ability that distinguishes them. Like dogs, wolves can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar human sounds.
The image of wolves in our minds is always associated with their distinctive, loud voice. Wolves use howl to communicate with each other, even over long distances. Evidence that this animal hears well. According to the scientific journal CHWolf, the ability of wolves to hear the same ability in humans and even in dogs. The range of hearing in these animals reaches 42,000 Hz, while the range of normal hearing in humans is about 20,000 Hz. This ability decreases with age to approximately, 11000 Hz.
In addition to good hearing, wolves, like dogs, have shown an ability to distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar human sounds, says a study that could have broader implications. It has long been hypothesized that dogs’ ability to distinguish between human voices is explained by the selective breeding of dogs that have been tamed for centuries.
