What do antarctic huskies eat?

NO such animal as 'Antarctic Husky'. The Antarctic continent does NOT naturally have husky dogs living wild. Huskies may be taken there by Antarctic Explorers. However, the natural habitat of the Husky, is Northern Siberia, Alaska, and Northern Canada. These regions are adjacent to the Arctic Ocean. All dogs, huskies included, are natural carnivores. In the wild, they have to catch and kill other animals in order to eat. They usually do this as a 'pack of dogs'. Like bears , which are distantly biologically related, they will catch fish too. when somewhat domesticated by man, and living with man, you still feed them with meat, fish, eggs. Like all dogs they will not naturally eat vegetative matter. Their long sharp jaws are full of sharp incisor and canine teeth, suitable for shearing meat. Unlike man who has some molar teeth for chewing vegetative food.
