Arctic Wolves

Animals do not consciously adapt to their environment. Adaptations come about through mutant variations, most of which are detrimental. However, occasionally a mutation will be beneficial and allow the creature to survive more easily. Such a creature has more chances to procreate and pass on the successful mutation or gene.

Oh, this is so sad! I'm sorry she lost all of her pups. She will have to go through a grieving process. She will usually get over it quick. If she has good milk and she was not the reason for the pups to die, then you might see if there is a rescue or shelter in your area that have orphaned pups needing a mom. Sometimes it works out that way. If not, give her plenty of attention. Do not give her too much food. If her milk does not dry up then she could get a very bad and painful infection. Many breeders will drastically cut the dog's food at this time. I think that is too much. In my experience, just cut back to adult food (not puppy food), and give her just a little less than her normal (non-pregnant, non nursing) food would be. For example, if she normally ate about 3 cups of dry food a day before she was pregnant, then try giving her two. I would not go lower than two unless she is really full with milk and uncomfortable and the 2 cups did not help. You can also try calling to see if the vet would want to give her a shot that can help her get through this a little faster. Watch for signs of infection -- infection in the milk glands is the main concern. Feel every day, twice a day at least, to look for signs of infection: heat, redness, swelling, lumps. Sometimes all there is is a hard lump, other times the dog's teats will feel very hot all over or in certain places -- she can get an infection in just one gland, not usually in all of them. Other times she may have a fever. YOu can take her temperature with a normal (human) rectal thermometer. Use a little vaseline or K-Y jelly to make it easier for your dog, and have someone hold her still so she cannot hurt herself or you. Don't do this if your dog is not gentle with being handled in delicate places. Her temperature is normal at around 101., anywhere between 100.5 and 101.5 -- I would call the vet if it goes up to 102 at home. A fever indicates an infection and must be treated by a veterinarian asap.

Your love and attention is what she needs to get over the loss of the pups, but your nursing care is very important to be sure she doesn't get very sick from making too much milk that isn't being used by her pups, or by having a uterine infection.

A female wolf will den when she has puppies

42, like most wolves.

Scientists can only estimate the harp seal's population. Using aerial photography and other tools, they estimate the harp seal to number in the range of 7.5 million.

The females weigh 80 - 140 pounds and the males are typically 175 - 176 pounds.
About 175 pounds.
up to 175 lb

lamb yeah yeah quak

There are many reasons Grey wolves became endangered. One of them is for economic reasons, such as selling body parts and fur of the Grey wolves. Another reason is for sport, hunting, for example. There are also population reasons. Grey wolves were relocated because people did not feel comfortable with wolves living near their homes. There fore people demolish the places that wolves live, causing them to die.

Yes... animals in the Arctic are warm blooded (except for the fish in the Arctic waters).

Yes, the Arctic wolf migrates.
no

Carnivores eat herbivores, but they also eat omnivores, which is another category that combines the herbivore and the carnivore. Certainly there would be much less food available to carnivores if all the herbivores were gone, and the number of carnivores would decrease, but as long as there are still omnivores, then there is the opportunity for some carnivores to continue to exist. For example, we human beings are omnivores, and even if all the herbivores were to disappear, we would find a way to continue to feed our pet dogs and cats, which are carnivores. Pigs are also omnivores, so presumably we would still have them as farm animals and food sources.

weight differs between males and females, usually 50-70kg, or 110-155 pounds, sometimes as low as 100 pounds. the biggest wolf on record is an arctic wolf at 175 pounds.

Some adaptations include smaller ears for listening for prey to come or to keep on the lookout for predators, white fur for camouflage, a bulky body type and thick fur to maintain body heat, wide footpads so they don't sink in the snow and a good sense of smell so that they can smell prey from long distances.
sharp teeth for eating meat,white fur for camouflage, hunt in packs, black under eyes for absorbing sunlight

They have a small thin coat of fur but you know are covered in blood until the mother licks them clean.

well basically e.g polar bears have small ears to minimise heat loss through the ears. they also have think fur to capture lost heat from the body, and this is white so it can camouflage with the snow and ice. however the skin of a polar bear is black, as black absorbs heat, therefore keeping the bear warm. also it has a large fat store for when food is scarce and also fat is warm. and for hunting it has the camouflage and strong muscles and claws to kill and eat things like arctic seals.

hope this help :P

Wolfs travel in packs because they depend on each other to live. The also travel in packs so finding a mate would be easier, and they travel in packs because catching prey would be easier and getting more would be too.

Unfortunatly,arctic wolves are going extinct because of people overhunting them and habbitat and prey loss. As well as other reasons such as enviroment loss.

yes...

Pretty much like all other creatures survive other locations. They have adapted by growing thicker and lighter coats, warmer than normal wolves. They have learned different ways to hunt, and they build dens in the snow (which is warmer than it sounds.) Please see the related link below:
