The Arctic Wolf may look like a creature from a fantasy tale: but it’s not. This animal is real, but threatened by climate change. The arctic wolf is a subspecies of gray wolf that’s native to parts of Northern Canada and Greenland. They are generally smaller in size and whiter in color than their close look-alike: the northwestern wolf. These are very versatile creatures that are able to withstand most of the year in below zero temperatures. The Arctic wolf hunts lemmings, rodents, and Arctic hares, though it can take bigger prey like caribou when available.
