A study has found that wolves, just like dogs, can recognize (辨别出) and reply better to the voices of people they are familiar with than to strangers.

Holly Root Gutteridge and her team did experiments (实验) with 24 gray wolves in five zoos and wildlife parks in Spain.

The team played recordings of strangers’ voices to the wolves first. Then, they played the voices of the wolves’ keepers who spoke familiar words to them in Spanish, like “Hey, what’s up, wolves?” The wolves showed an interest by raising their heads or their ears, and turning towards the speakers. To make sure this wasn’t just a coincidence (巧合), the researchers played the recordings of strangers again and found that the wolves lost interest. Finally, to be certain that the wolves really knew their keepers’ voices, the team had the keepers say unfamiliar words, and the results were the same.

Root Gutteridge pointed out that it was surprising that wolves evolved (进化) separately from humans millions of years ago, could still distinguish human voices.

Before this study, there isn’t much research on how animals tell the difference between the sounds of other kinds. We already knew that gorillas (大猩猩) can listen to people. But now, with this new finding, Root Gutteridge believes that many other kinds might also be listening to us and getting to know us. And it’s not just us
