"The Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos), also called Polar Wolf or White Wolf, is a subspecies of the Gray Wolf, a mammal of the family Canidae. Arctic Wolves inhabit the Canadian Arctic, Alaska and the northern parts of Greenland." _Source: "Wikipedia"

The wolves pack at Artis existst of 3 adult wolves (1 male, two females) and three young wolves, born May 19, 2011. The young are big already, but their fur isn't yet as white as the adult's. The wolves living in Artis are Hudson Bay-wolves, that originate from Canada.
