The January full moon is called the Wolf Moon
The howling of wolves was often heard at this time of year.
It was traditionally thought that wolves howled due to hunger,
but we now know that wolves use howls to define territory,
locate pack members,
reinforce social bonds,
and gather for hunting.
European settlers may have used the term “Wolf Moon” even before they came to North America.
This moon is also called the Center Moon, from the Assiniboine people.
