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 one marble fox, 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.
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.
