They're able to sub-stain sub-zero temperatures and long months of complete darkness. The Arctic wolves habitat is the most inhospitable terrain in the world.
 * HABITAT-

Arctic wolves can be found mostly in the Arctics. You most likely wouldn't find one anywhere around here. It can still be found all over its original range (their natural habitat) because Arctic wolves rarely encounter humans.
 * RANGE-

Arctic wolves vary in color. Though almost 100% of all arctic wolves are white. They can vary from white, black, gray, and even red. The average lifespan for an Arctic wolf varies between seven to ten years. (Usually somewhere around eight years.)
 * PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS-


 * DIET- Arctic wolves eat meat, they are carnivores. They eat caribou, musk, oxen, arctic hares, lemmings, moose and ptarmigans.(tar-mah-gihns)

Arctic wolves almost always travel in packs or large numbers. In order for these wolves to succeed in life and stay alive they need to stay in groups. In the groups they can kill larger prey and be less vulnerable to other predators. They are able to survive better when they are in large numbers.
 * BEHAVIOR AND ADAPTATIONS-

Normally arctic wolves will breed, but due to the fact that they live in packs they also mate. Arctic wolves usually use rock outcroppings, caves or shallow depressions in the ground as dens to give birth to their young. The mother gives birth to two or three pups in late May to early June.
 * REPRODUCTION-

We don't use Arctic wolves for much because Arctic wolves rarely encounter humans. And if we did we use its fur for coats and jackets because its fur is so thick and warm.
 * RELATIONSHIP TO PEOPLE-

Arctic wolves are Least Concerned. (we don't encounter them often so thats why they aren't endangered)
 * STATUS-

An arctic wolves fur changes colors from white when it's snowy and the landscape is white. Then when the snow melts their fur turns brown.
