Arctic Wolf

The Arctic wolf, a subspecies of the gray wolf, is uniquely adapted to survive the harsh conditions of the Arctic tundra. With its thick white fur and smaller body size compared to other wolves, the Arctic wolf thrives in some of the coldest and most remote regions on Earth.

These pack animals are skilled hunters, often preying on musk oxen and Arctic hares. They are crucial to maintaining the balance of their ecosystems by controlling prey populations. While the Arctic wolf faces fewer threats than other wolf subspecies due to the remoteness of its habitat, climate change and human encroachment pose increasing risks. Protecting the Arctic wolf requires preserving its habitat and addressing the broader impacts of global warming.
