Yes, completely different. Though they live in the same areas, (North America, Canada Greenland, Siberia Etc) they are two different types of wolf. Where as the Grey wolf's colour can vary, the Arctic wolf is nearly always white. Being as it lives in snowy and Tundra areas, it has a thick white coat for camouflage and warmth. It's paws are rough for grip on the thick snow and it's ears are small and rounded to keep the heat in. Grey Wolves have similar features to this. But if you compare the two, the Grey wolf's ears are not as rounded and they do not have as much thickness in their coats.

I hope that answered your question. Bye! :~D

No. The Arctic wolf is merely a subspecies of the gray wolf, Canis Lupus, but a gray wolf nonetheless. The Arctic wolf is Canis Lupus Arctos.
