Malamutes have thick fur to provide insulation against cold temperatures in their native Arctic environment. Their double coat consists of a dense, soft undercoat and a longer, coarse outer coat, which helps regulate body temperature and protect them from harsh weather conditions. This adaptation is essential for their original role as sled dogs, allowing them to endure extreme climates while pulling heavy loads. Additionally, their fur also serves to protect their skin from sun exposure and abrasions.

No. Although both breeds are used as sled dog, they are different. An Alaskan Malamute has brown eyes and is stronger around 85lbs or more, have brown eyes and are a very old breed while a Siberian Huskies have been around for about a century and have blue or brown eyes. Huskies are also smaller and faster while malamutes are much stronger. The Siberian Husky was developed by the Chukchi tribe of northeastern Asia thousands of years ago.
