Arctic Wolf
Arctic wolves inhabit some of the most inhospitable terrain in the world. In April, the air temperature rarely rises above -22 F . The ground permanently frozen. The arctic wolf is one of the few mammals that can tolerate these conditions. The Wolf preys on lemmings and arctic hare, but its most substantial source of food is the musk ox and caribou. Because of the scarcity of grazing plants, animals must roam a large area in order to find enough food to survive. Consequently, the wolf pack has to travel over areas of up to 800 square miles in search of its prey. When winter temperatures plummet, the wolves may follow migrating caribou south.
