摘要: The domestic dog (Canis lupus f. familiaris) and cat (Felis silvestris catus), which are quite vocal by mammalian standards, not good representatives of the acoustic activities fissiped carnivores. Fissipeds generally thought as mammals that communicate with smell rather than vocalizations (Gorman Trowbridge, this volume). Nevertheless, several carnivore signals like howling gray wolves lupus), whooping spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta), roaring African lions (Panthera led) capture human imagination few other animal sounds do. It is probably no accident wolf howling—unlike carnivores—is one best-studied (Theberge Falls 1967; Cohen Fox 1976; Tembrock 1976a, 1976b; 1977; Shaker et al. Field 1978, 1979; 1978; Harrington Mech 1978a, 1978b, 1979, 1982, 1983; Schassburger Klinghammer Laidlaw Filibeck 1982; 1986, 1987; Nikolskii Frommolt 1986).
