Wolves Can Recognize Familiar Human Voices, Study Shows.
A recent study has found that wolves, like dogs, can recognize and respond to the voices of familiar humans more than strangers. The study involved experiments across five zoos and wildlife parks in Spain, with a total of 24 gray wolves. The findings suggest that wolves possess the ability to distinguish between humans despite the fact that our species went our separate evolutionary ways tens of millions of years ago. The study has implications for the story of canine domestication and our broader understanding of the natural world.
