A race of the gray wolf, the arctic or tundra wolf is not endangered.
In the wild, Arctic wolves primarily prey on muskoxen and Arctic hares. They have also been found to prey on lemmings (Dicrostonyx groenlandicus), Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus), birds and beetles.
Wolves can be killed by hunters (humans) or angry farmers, and are, with guns and traps. Some wolves can be taken down by fierce and upset buffalos, but this is very rare.
A major natural killer of wolves is bears. Bears fight wolves for food, territory, and life, as sometimes wolves may take bear cubs.
Cold winters with no food for over around 10 days can send a pack to starvation. A lack of antelopes and prey killed off by bears or rival animals, or humans can also eventually thin out the population.
The biggest threat, sadly enough is rotten humans who don't protect these animals, but instead hunt them down and kill them for fur, money, or sometimes just fun.

What is the eye color of the Arctic Wolf?
Arctic wolves have the same color eyes as other wolves. Their eyes are mainly amber/brown or gold, but can also be green, brown, gray, or yellow.
Puppies are born with dark/navy blue eyes (never light/sky blue-- if this is the case, the puppies are not wolves at all, but pure dogs).
An adult wolf, arctic or not, will NEVER have blue eyes, and if they do, again, they are simply a dog.

Why didnt 38 witnesses do anything to try to help Kitty Genovese when they saw her being murdered?
In short, the answer can be summed up as "diffusion of responsibility", which in social psychological terms, translates to the number of persons in the group, dictates how fast a response to emergencies will be given. In other words, the more people to a group, the less likely it is for any individual group member to act "individually" and seek out help. This is so because it is hypothesized that an individual will think to themselves "someone else will call for help", which if all 38 people are thinking this, then who is calling for help? There is also the shock & awe value of a traumatic situation, meaning a shocking event more often than not, can cause delay in a group setting. Think of a fight in a public setting, more often than not, individuals of the "group" gather around first to see whats going on before any type of preventative action is taken to stop the fight. I wish I could remember the exact terminology for these phenomena, but these are the general ideas of those terms. Maybe someone else can fill in any blanks that I may have missed.
What is the scientific name for the Arctic wolf?
Canis Lupus arctos
Arctic wolves primarily drink fresh water from sources such as melting snow, rivers, and streams. They are adapted to their cold environment and can also obtain moisture from the food they consume, particularly when eating prey. In the harsh Arctic conditions, access to liquid water can be limited, so they rely on these sources to stay hydrated.
