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. About 2,250 km (1,400 mi) south of the High Arctic, a wolf movement study took place in the wintertime in complete darkness, when the temperature was as low as −53 °C (−63 °F).
The Arctic wolf spider can live for at least two years, grows as long as 1.6 inches (4 centimeters), and is a carnivore. [3]A 10-year study of the Arctic wolf spider revealed that the exoskeleton thickness averaged 0.104 inch (2.65 millimeters), a 2 percent increase over the 0.102 inch (2.6 millimeters) commonly found in the early years of the study, possibly the result of longer summers.
The Alaskan tundra wolf (Canis lupus tundrarum), also known as the barren-ground wolf, [3] is a North American subspecies of gray wolf native to the barren grounds of the Arctic coastal tundra region.
The wolf (Canis lupus; [b] pl.: wolves), also known as the grey wolf or gray wolf, is a canine native to Eurasia and North America. More than thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, including the dog and dingo , though grey wolves, as popularly understood, only comprise naturally-occurring wild subspecies.
Arctic wolf, one of the northernmost occurring populations of wolves. Wolf distribution is the species distribution of the wolf (Canis lupus).Originally, wolves occurred in Eurasia above the 12th parallel north and in North America above the 15th parallel north.
Northwestern wolves are one of the largest subspecies of wolves. In British Columbia, Canada, five adult females averaged 42.5 kg or 93.6 lbs with a range of 85 lbs to 100 lbs (38.6 - 45.4 kg) and ten adult males averaged 112.2 lbs or 51.7 kg with a range of 105 lbs to 135 lbs (47.6 - 61.2 kg), with a weight range for all adults of 38.6 kg to 61.2 kg (85 – 135 lbs).

Arctic Wolf seems to be going public—at some point. And, no, we’re not talking about the medium-sized species of shock-white wolf (though that would be quite an S-1).
This wolf is native to the interior of Alaska, United States, and the Yukon, Canada save for the tundra region of the Arctic Coast. [4] Yukon wolves' main habitats are boreal forests, alpine, subalpine, and Arctic tundra. The population in Canadian Yukon is estimated to be 5,000, which ranges in all of Yukon except for Kluane National Park.
