They eat a wide variety of food available in their territory. Arctic wolves are smaller than grey wolves, They also have smaller ears and. Arctic wolves are apex predators and are carnivores. They live in packs and have to co-operate in order to survive. The study was published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In fact, the arctic wolf is the only sub-species of wolf that is not threatened. Wolves are the largest wild members of the dog family. "Given the complex links between different components of arthropod food webs and the important roles of these animals in ecosystem functioning, a better understanding of how rapid climate‐driven shifts in body size are affecting communities and ecosystems is needed."
"These findings are a reminder that changes in body size – which is a widespread response to warmer global temperatures – may affect not only fecundity but also intra-specific competition among invertebrates," the authors conclude. In addition, the Arctic Wolfs habitat can be blamed for their endangered status. Spiders are a key part of many ecosystems, and it's important we know what their future looks like under the current climate crisis. Some predators of the Arctic Wolf are Polar bears, Grizzlies, and other wolves. Diseases and parasites that can affect wolves include canine parvovirus, distemper. The data looked at in the study was collected over only one summer, and there's usually a high degree of seasonal variations in wolf spider populations.Īs such, further studies will be needed to explore how body size and reproduction rates are impacting spiders in the Arctic over the long term, but it's something we should probably keep our eye on, and not only in this part of the world. They can live up to 13 years in the wild, but most die long before that age. But sometimes the hunter can be the hunted as we’ll explore. Although very rare sometimes a wolf might eat another wolf too. These include grizzly bears polar bears Siberian tigers scavengers and of course humans. That includes two 5-week-old Arctic wolf pups, Raksha and Isha.

Now, all grown up, Hampf takes care of wolves, and other predators, at the Colorado Wolf.
