The NEW Tundra exhibit at the Toronto Zoo
The ArCtiC WoLf
Also called the Polar Wolf, a cousin of the Gray Wolf, you can catch the Arctic Wolf in the new Tundra Trek exhibit at the Toronto Zoo.
OR if you’re feeling adventurous, you can also find him in the Canadian Arctic, Alaska, and the northern part of Greenland. The Arctic Wolf has really thick fur because they can live in SUB-ZERO temperatures and are exposed to the frigid cold for long periods of time—days, months, even years! They can survive up to five months in total darkness! They can also live without food for weeks! They roam around LARGE areas of land, hunting for food. They are the ONLY mammals that can withstand these kinds of conditions. The Arctic Wolf travels in packs from 2 to 20!
Similar to the Grey Wolf, Arctic Wolves are a bit smaller with smaller ears so they can trap in as much body heat as possible.
Did you know?
To keep themselves warm, Arctic Wolves grow a second layer of fur to protect them from the harsh conditions.
Good luck finding one this winter! They are all white so they will blend in easily to the winter snow and are pretty shy around humans.

Wolves howl because it’s how they keep the pack together. It’s how they communicate and bond with each other.
