Arctic wolfs

The Arctic Wolf inhabits the Canadian Arctic and the island parts of Alaska and northern part of Greenland. Their habitat extends from 70 degrees North latitude and higher. They have lived in North America for over two million years. When they find a den they make a couple of chambers for food and young.
The Arctic Wolf is the only subspecies of the Gray Wolf that still can be found over the whole of its original range largely because in their natural habitat they rarely encounter humans.The Arctic wolf is also the only subspecies of wolf which is not threatened their remote home means that they are relatively safe from man's activities both in terms of hunting and habitat destruction.
