Description
"Alaskan Tundra Wolf" by Patti Deters. This Tundra Wolf (Canis lupus tundrarum) or Arctic wolf is a subspecies of grey wolf and are native to the barren grounds of the Arctic coastal tundra. The Inuit in Alaska refer to them as Tikaani (for wolf). These large animals (up to 125 pounds) hunt larger mammals such as moose, caribou, deer, and mountain sheep and defeat their prey by wearing them out rather than catching them with speed. This beautiful canine was seen at the Vergas Trowbridge Zoo in northern Minnesota, USA. If you like animal photography, please see more nature and other fauna images at patti-deters.pixels.com.
