The Caribou Doctor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This wolf is well adapted to the harsh climate of this part of the world. It has thick fur, broad feet, and long legs that make it easy for it to move through the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wolf had a positive image among Native Americans, who nicknamed it \u201cthe caribou doctor.\u201d The wolf plays a very positive role in nature. It engages in culling, as it eliminates the weakest animals from herds because they are easier to catch.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Den sites, which are difficult to dig into the frozen ground, can be used for many years. These wolves, which are not particularly wary of humans, have been studied.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

The Arctic wolf\u2019s coat allows it to withstand temperatures as low as -57\u00b0C. This winter coat can weigh up to 1 kg.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n
