Celebrating a kill.

In Illinois, they would yip (very loudly) all over the place it seemed.
But they are a pack animal.
They would have some yip to make the prey run in a certain direction where others were waiting.
(silently)
Then they would attack them.

Hard to hold off 5 or more of them at once.
