The Arctic Wolf, also known as Canis lupus arctos, is a subpopulation of gray wolves that inhabit the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and Russia. They are well adapted to survive in some of the harshest environments on Earth, with thick fur that provides insulation against the cold and camouflage in the snowy landscapes. Arctic Wolves are social animals, living in packs that typically consist of a dominant male and female pair, their offspring, and sometimes unrelated members. They communicate with each other through howls, body language, and scent marking, establishing hierarchies and territories within the pack. As predators, Arctic Wolves primarily feed on large herbivores such as musk oxen and caribou, but they will also scavenge on carcasses of other animals if available. They have a highly efficient hunting strategy that involves working together as a team to bring down their prey. Arctic Wolves are a subcategory of Wolves, which fall under the broader categories of Carnivores, Predator Animal Types, Predator Animals, and Animals. While they share many characteristics with other wolves, Arctic Wolves have unique adaptations that enable them to thrive in their specific environment, making them a distinct subpopulation within the species.
