Arctic Wolf Wallpaper

The Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos), also called Polar Wolf or White Wolf, is a mammal of the Canidae family, and a subspecies of the Gray Wolf.Arctic Wolves inhabit the Canadian Arctic, Alaska and the northern parts of Greenland.
Though the same species as a Grey Wolf, Arctic Wolves generally are smaller than the “Forest Gray Wolves” (Arctic Wolves are sometimes called “Tundra Wolves”), being about 3 to 6 ft (0.91 to 1.8 m) long including the tail; males are larger than females and are more aggressive. Their shoulder heights vary from 26 to 31 in (66 to 79 cm), shorter than other wolf subspecies of similar mass, their ears are smaller to trap body heat and their muzzles are much shorter. Often weighing over 100 lb (45 kg), weights of up to 175 lb (79 kg) have been observed in full-grown males. During the winter, the Arctic Wolf grows a second layer of fur for protection during the harsh conditions that may occur during the season.
