Zookeeper & the wolf: man teaches mammals to sing
Published: 20 June, 2008, 11:27
A barmy Chinese zoo keeper is training wolves to sing – and is also planning to teach them how to bust a move on the dance floor.
Luo Yong, who works at Chongqing Wild Zoo, told local media he discovered wolves’ performing talents by accident.
He said: “Once I was playing guitar and singing the song 'I Am A Wolf From The North', and a young wolf I raised walked up to me and stared at me. Suddenly he howled with the rhythm, and even patted the strings with his claw.”
Chinese People's Daily reports that Luo trained all 30 wolves in the zoo to sing along to a rhythm.
Having mastered the art of song, Luo now says the wolves are ready to add some disco move to their routine.
