Every August, Ontario Parks organises Public Wolf Howls in Algonquin — evening events where rangers locate an active pack by howling and then invite crowds of visitors to listen to the response echoing from the surrounding boreal forest. The experience is primarily acoustic rather than visual, but success rates for hearing wolves exceed 80% on peak nights. The Algonquin wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) inhabits this park in higher density than almost anywhere else in eastern North America, and events fill up weeks in advance.
