Arctic wolves live in the Arctic tundra, northern rolling hills, glacier valleys, ice fields, and around shallow lakes.
Arctic wolves are carnivores eating musk oxen, Arctic hares, caribou, ptarmigans, seals, and birds.
The alpha male and female of the pack breed in the winter. The gestation period lasts 61-63 days with 5 to 7 pups being born.
Found in the Arctic regions of Alaska and Canada, the Arctic wolf wild population is not at risk.
The Park is home to two red foxes: Raven, and Mia. Raven is a colour variation of the red fox that is not found in the wild. Raven (female), came to the Park as a rescue through the SPCA and Humane Society.
Mia was found in the Ashcroft area after being hit by a car, and her injuries prevented her from being released back into the wild.
Red foxes have a broad range of habitats from forests to deserts, prairie lands, and mountains, preferring mixed vegetation areas.
Omnivorous, primarily focusing on rodents, birds, and rabbits, but will also consume insects, fruits, and carrion.
Breeding season varies by location, December - January in the southern regions, February - April in the northern regions, and January - February in central regions.
Found across much of the northern hemisphere, red foxes have been introduced into Australia, and are native to North America, Europe, Asia, the Arctic Circle, Central America and Northern Africa.
Sterling (male) and Storm (female) are siblings that were born at the Ecomuseum in Quebec in 2023, and brought to the BC Wildlife Park later that year.
