The plural of wolf is wolves.
To say that several wolves howl, you would say
"The wolves' howls"
When there is an "s" on the end of a word, and you want to give it a possesion, you put an apostrophe on the end of the word.
For example:
Roger's scooter
Mr. Rogers' scooter
since rogers already has an "s" on the end, you put the apostrophe after it.
So in short the answer is:
The wolves' howls

The plural of wolf is wolves. If one wolf is howling you would say the wolf's howl. If you are referring to more than one you would write, The wolves howls.

The plural is wolves. You say: The wolves howl. AND you don't use an apostrophe unless you want to show that something belongs to the wolves. For example: The wolves' howl was chilling.

One wolf and one howl=The wolfs howl.
One wolf with more than one howl=The wolfs howls.
Multiple wolves howling in unison=The wolves howl.
multiple wolves repeatedly howling=The wolves howls.
There would be no( 's) unless you were saying the wolf's howling
as in the wolf is howling.
