Zoo Tycoon Profile: Arctic Wolf

The Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos) also known as the White wolf or Polar wolf, are a sub-species of grey wolves. Arctic wolves live in the Arctic regions of Northern Canada and Greenland. They are the only wolf in the world with their coloring, unique due to the environment where they live. They live amongst the Arctic tundra on land that is covered with ice and snow except briefly in the summer months. They also occur in the Arctic region’s glacier valleys, northern rolling hills, and ice fields by shallow lakes. Arctic wolf will eat 20 pounds of meat.

Diet and Nutrition: Arctic wolves are predatory carnivores and eat a wide variety of food, hunting in packs for musk-oxen and caribou. They also eat Arctic hares, arctic foxes, lemmings, ptarmigan, and other small animals, such as nesting birds.

Social: Wolves are very social animals that live in family packs, the average consisting of an alpha male and alpha female, their juvenile offspring and a litter of pups that are less than a year old. These are closely bonded and wolves get distressed if their pack is separated or if a pack member dies.
