The wolf pack howls on average for 85 seconds. It is usually started by a single wolf, after which other wolves may join in. The pack leader, the alpha wolf, usually uses a lower-pitched howl and howls more frequently than wolves standing on the lower rungs of the pack's hierarchy. Although some functions of the howling are still unknown by scientists, they believe that wolves may howl to scare off other wolf packs from their territory and to gather their own pack, as wolves possess perfect hearing and their howling can be heard for up to in the forest and in open space. Researchers have found a relationship between the number of times a wolf howls and the strength of their relationship with other pack members. According to Friederike Range, co-director of the University of Vienna's Wolf Science Center, "the strength of the relationship between wolves predicted how many times a wolf howled."
Mythology of Teen Wolf
Like all canine werecreatures, when a werecoyote follows an alpha, joining his pack, they receive symbiotic maturity and power by being a packmate. They become more accomplished in using their supernatural abilities, their powers amplifying and their self-control and prowess improving. Werecoyotes, like their werewolf cousins, feel a strong camaraderie and kinship towards their own. In Season 5, Malia was the first in the pack to put trust in newcomer Theo Raeken who put himself out as a werewolf wishing to gain entry into the pack. Though she was none the wiser, this was due to Theo's werecoyote part gravitating her towards him. Theo also admitted to Malia he'd felt regret when he sold her out to Corrine, despite his being a sociopath and had no trouble betraying and manipulating the rest of Scott's pack and allies. This admission on his part indicates Theo felt artificial remorse for betraying a fellow werecoyote.
