Abstract

The present study aims to present and compare the sounds produced by the representatives of the family Canidae, in particular the genus Canis, in terms of their amplitude and frequency characteristics. The results show that the power generated by the vocal apparatus of wolves is the greatest, compared to that of the domestic dog and the jackal, in which they are the lowest, presented in dB. The reflected values for the frequency characteristic of the sound signals in these three representatives of the genus Canis are inversely related - highest in jackals, again average in dogs and lowest in wolves.
