I am going to take a guess here. The features on an animal are the way they are to help them hunt or survive better. I am guessing that the arctic wolf would have a shorter muzzle because of the cold living conditions they are in. The longer nose would actually hurt the animals since it would be more apt to freeze or get frostbite. They are a more compact animal for this reason.
