So good morning, everybody.
My name is...
but I'm about to play you a real wolf's howl.
Not just any old wolf, this wolf was called 907.
The typical wolf in Yellowstone National Park only lives three and a half years.
907 was 11 and had one eye when she howled like this for over 30 minutes to her packmates five miles away.
Close your eyes and just listen.
With the help of AI, we're trying to decode the wolf howl and rethink how to protect and promote the world's last wild places.
This was 9.07.
She was the matriarch of the Junction Butte pack, but I like to call her the one I'd wonder.
And this was me 50 years ago with my family in Yellowstone.
There are three reasons you pee your pants.
One, you're getting old.
like none of us in this room, right?
Two, you're too young to know better, or three, in my case, it was my first experience watching wildlife in one of America's grandest ideas, Yellowstone National Park and public lands.
My buddies and I grew up hiking, hunting and fishing the Absaroki Mountains of my Montana youth, and where whiskey is for drinking, but water and wolves are sometimes for fighting.
Wolves were killed off in Yellowstone in the 1920s, reintroduced in 1995, and now contribute to over a half-a-billion-dollar annual tourism economy where I live.
Now, recently, the media has been talking a lot about the use of artificial intelligence to decode animal communication, from elephants to bats and everything in between.
And a few of us are doing it with one of the most iconic sounds of the wild.
In order to decode wolfish, my company works with Yellowstone scientists to build autonomous recording units, or ARUs.
