Physical Adaptations
Arctic wolves have thick double-layered fur, large paws for traction on snow, and short ears and tails to minimize heat loss.
Behavioral Adaptations
They hunt in packs, use snow dens for shelter, cache food, reduce activity during harsh periods, and eat a varied diet.
Physiological Adaptations
They can regulate their metabolic rate and maintain stable body temperature in extreme cold.
These adaptations allow Arctic wolves to thrive in one of the planet's harshest environments.
