Craters, ridges and grey plains are all rendered on the moon in this one, which leaves the wolf across it as pure shadow. The silhouette is a howling wolf in profile, legs planted and muzzle raised, laid over a disc that supplies every bit of light in the picture. The surrounding field is close to black, so nothing else competes for room. Why a chorus sounds bigger Wolves in a chorus do not sing in unison. Each animal takes a different pitch and slides away whenever another drifts close to it, so the voices never settle into a chord. To anything listening, the group sounds larger than it actually is. Biologists call this the Beau Geste effect, after the novel in which a few soldiers prop the dead along the walls to fake a full garrison. For a neighbouring pack that exaggeration is useful information. Better to move off than test a border and risk injury, so most of the work of holding territory gets done as sound rather than teeth. The organisation of the wolf pack follows that further. Moonlight and shadow Because the palette stops at black and moonlight grey, the shape holds from across the room and settles easily beside whatever colour is already on the floor.
