Arctic Wolf
Canis lupus arctos
Smaller and lighter than the southern wolves, the arctic wolf ranges year-round over most of the islands in Canada’s Arctic. Roaming singly or in small packs, wolves hunt co-operatively using strategy to outwit the swift caribou, their major prey species. A large wolf can bring down and kill an adult caribou with a single crushing bite to the neck. Survival of pups depends on food supply and many die young, thus, wolf numbers are adjusted to fit the availability of prey.
Though wolves were once shot on sight at Arctic bases, now only the Inuit hunters kill them. The furs are sold or used for parka trim.

The Timberwolf
Habitat
The timberwolf can live in any climate though they are seldom found in deserts and tropical forests. In ancient times the timberwolf lived just in the northern half of the world with other types of wolves. The timberwolf lives in the wooded, subartic, and forest regions of northern Asia, Europe, and North America. Whenever large numbers of people settled into the wolves' habitat they destroyed the wolves.

I have never danced with wolves
but I have had the rare privilege
to be face greeted by two male wolves, Nira and Ingo.
They live at WOLF TIMBERS in Bolivar, Ohio.
My two friends and I are sponsoring the female wolf, Keeley.
She was too afraid that day to come
near us so most of the pictures of
her had to be taken with a zoom lens.
We hope in time she will greet us the same way.

SOCIAL ORGANIZATION OF WOLVES - by Jenny Ryon
Wolves are among the most social animals in the world. They live in packs which are generally extended families. Pack composition can include the parents, the offspring of various ages, and aunts and uncles of the young. Pack size is governed mainly by the availability of habitat and the food found therein. Wolves are at the top of the food chain thus the size of wolf packs is determined by the amount of prey they depend on, not the other way around ...
