Arctic Wolf

The Arctic wolf is a stunning subspecies of the gray wolf, adapted to the harsh conditions of the Arctic tundra. With their thick white fur and smaller ears, these wolves are built to conserve heat in freezing climates. They live and hunt in packs, using teamwork to take down prey like musk oxen and caribou.

In the zoo, Arctic wolves are housed in enclosures featuring rocky terrain, shaded areas, and cool temperatures. Behind the scenes, their care involves a diet of meat supplemented with vitamins and minerals to mimic their natural prey. Enrichment activities include scent trails and hidden food to encourage their natural foraging instincts. Visitors are often enchanted by their howls, which strengthen pack bonds and communicate across long distances.
