White Arctic Wolves

White Arctic wolf, picture of a third generation domesticated wolf in the Sierra Nevada.

White Arctic wolves, see 1, are rare but very visible when appearing. They are big, having the size of a Saint Bernard dog, twice the size of a German Shepard, but with their long skinny legs look a lot smaller. They show some interest in our camps but keep a large distance.

Looking at 5 white Arctic wolves at a km distance (white dots, not visible), circling the camp for a few days.

They will only come close to investigate when you are out of the camp and have old smelly garbage. On one occasion, they took the 'back-door' ripping a tent and scattering 4 week old garbage around.
