Best Answer

Yes. They live in the northern hemisphere (near/around Alaska and Canada) where it is snowy most of the time They feed on moose, mountain sheep, and caribou every 2 days or so. The majority of the food they eat is scavenged from deep within the snow where the animal died. These wolves also like to play amongst themselves and go for runs.
