How fast can a full grown Arctic Wolf run?
Wolves can run 30 mph and caribou can go 40m.p.h. and that is why they alway eat the old and weak. The Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos) is a wild dog that lives in the Canadian Arctic. This wolf is a subspecies of the gray wolf and is sometimes called the tundra wolf. It is a fast-running carnivore (a meat-eater) that lives alone or in packs of about 6 wolves. The Arctic Wolf lives about 10-15 years in the wild; it lives about 20 years in captivity. Howling: Wolves howl as a signal to other wolves, telling of the beginning and ending of a hunt, of a wolf separated from its pack, as a warning to other wolf packs, and simply for the fun of it. Anatomy: Arctic Wolves are smaller than other wolves and have long, thick white fur. Adults are about 3 ft (0.9 m) long plus a 1 ft (30 cm) long tail. Like other wolves, they have strong jaws with sharp teeth, including long canine teeth which tear flesh. Wolves have very good eyesight, acute hearing, and a keen sense of smell which help them hunt.
