Description
The Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos), also known as the Melville Island wolf, is a possible subspecies of gray wolf native to the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, from Melville Island to Ellesmere Island. It is a medium-sized subspecies, distinguished from the northwestern wolf by its smaller size, its whiter coloration, its narrower braincase, and larger carnassials. Since 1930, there has been a progressive reduction in size in Arctic wolf skulls, which is likely the result of wolf-dog hybridization.
The Arctic wolf is relatively unafraid of people, and can be coaxed to approach people in some area.
