Beagles and Yotes

Some coyotes came within 150 yds. of the house last night, sounded like quite a large pack, must have been chasing after a fawn, they were making a hell of a racket.
Now the beagles did not bark, but every one started a kind of howl.
What the heck were they doing? I figured they would be barking like mad at the yotes!

They knew they would be no match for the yotes in a battle for the fittest, so they imitated the howl of a wolf to ward them off.
I certainly don't know, but the yotes did not stick around long after the beagles did their bit.
i have 6 beagles in a above ground kennel i have some e callers i have turned them on here at the house my beagles will start the howling when they hear the e callers playing no barking just howling they will do the same if a ambulance or fire truck go by blasting their sirens jb
My german shepard rott mix howls at sirens too. Almost imitates the siren's noise.

Mine like to sing along with the french harp. Used to think it hurt their ears, till I noticed they would come running if I put a Charlie McCoy album on.
You might be right about the survival instinct, Or a pack territorial marking of some sort.
