This video is interesting, I do know that music really affects not only human emotions but animals also. But this video is the first time for me to see how the music affects the wolves, they first attracted by the song then they echo with the "wolf Woo" from the performers, this really amazed and surprised me. I want to know that, can human start conversations with animals by music?
