The only time at which the wolf migrates is during the wintertime when there is complete darkness for 24 hours. This makes Arctic wolf movement hard to research.

[ 5 ] The polar bear spends the majority of its time out on the ice hunting seals and sometimes when small rodents are scarce on land the Arctic fox will follow the ...
Northern wolffish use large rocks for shelter and nest building.

Growth rates are slow, and they mature at five years or older. Their lifespans are at least ...

Soviet wolf populations reached a low around 1970, disappearing over much of European Russia. The population increased again by 1980 to about 75,000, with 32,000 being killed in 1979. [26] Wolf populations in northern Inner Mongolia declined during the 1940s, primarily because of poaching of gazelles, the wolf's main prey. [27]
