Finding Your Howl

Jonathan Flaum’s story, Finding Your Howl, tells the tale of a red wolf in search of his instinctual habits. Being is captivity for quite sometime a pack of red wolves were released into the wild to regenerate the red wolf habitat. The wolves seemed to be doing all right except for the fact that they forgot how to howl. With the ability to howl there is no way to establish a leader for the pack. Flaum’s story goes on to tell how one specific wolf, Mumon, was determined to discover his ability to howl. With help of his other instinctual habits to hunt he meets a deer that tells him his howl is within him, and that he must listen because if he wants it enough it will be there. Mumon takes the deer’s advice then proceeds to attack and eat him. Eventually Mumon is confronted with a hunter, he is shot, and from the wound he realizes he had his howl all along and that through his perseverance, trust in instinct and help from those along the way he can breakout of captivity and have freedom in the wild.
