Arctic Wolves

The wolf has been associated with Northern Hemisphere people for centuries, and remains, even today, a creature of folklore and superstition. The coloration of wolves varies greatly from snow white to coal black and all the intermediate degrees of cream, grey, and brown. Wolves have a well-developed social hierarchy. The pack leader is usually the largest and strongest dog and is followed in rank by younger or senile males, then the leader's mate, the other females, and finally the pups in order of strength. All members of the pack accept responsibility for the young, and care for other adults' pups, if both parents are hunting. There have been very few cases of authenticated wolf attacks on humans in North America. (ref:wikipedia.com)
