[pct-l] Re: scariest sound

Sounded like a wolf to me.  I own Basenji's (7000 year old wild dog from
Africa) and they are called "the barkless dog".  Wild canids have different
vocal cords than domesticated dogs and have the ability to make a much wider
range and variety of sounds.  I know that my dogs have made sounds similar
to this, but not echoing off the surrounding landscape, when they are
'lonely' or just want attention.

This is definetly not the most scared I have been (pretty big coward
here), but I was alone in the Southwest corner of Yellowstone just off a
place called Bechler Meadows. Camped in a patch of lodgepole pine just off
the trail. Woke up in the middle of the night to this god awful noise in
the distance. For ten minutes it kepted getting closer and closer. Turned
on my video camera and recorded it as it passed by my tent following the
trail.

You tell me.
