The Arctic Wolf, also known as Canis lupus arctos, is a subspecies of gray wolf that is adapted to life in the high Arctic. They are well-known for their thick white fur, which helps them blend into their snowy surroundings and keep warm in extremely cold temperatures. Arctic Wolves primarily feed on large mammals such as musk oxen and caribou, but they will also eat smaller prey like rodents and birds if larger game is scarce. These wolves have a unique social structure compared to other subspecies of gray wolf. They tend to live in small family groups consisting of a mated pair and their offspring. Packs do not defend territories in the way that other wolf packs do, instead they roam widely across the barren Arctic landscape in search of food. In the taxonomic hierarchy, Arctic Wolves fall under the broader category of Wolves, which itself is a subcategory of Mammals and Animals By Taxonomy. This placement reflects their biological relationship to other wolves and mammals, as well as their place within the animal kingdom.
