Structural Adaptations One structural adaptation of the Arctic
Wolf is its white fur. This is an important adaptation because the
wolf needs to blend in with its surroundings, so they can hide from
predators and sneak up on prey. A second structural adaptation is
wide footpads. This is an important adaptation because the arctic
wolf does not have to sink into the snow. A third structural
adaptation is small ears. This is an important adaptation because
the wolf needs to maintain its body heat in the cold climates. A
fourth structural adaptation is the arctic wolves think shaggy
coats. This is an important adaptation because it helps them stay
warm in the arctic cold. A fifth structural adaptation is its sharp
canines. This is an important adaptation because the arctic wolf
can eat the insides of the prey, and scare off predators.

Behavioral Adaptation One behavioral adaptation of the arctic
wolf is taking turns eating meals. This is an important adaptation
because the arctic wolves need take to take turns rolling around
the dead organisms body until they all got the smell of the dead
organism. A second behavioral adaptation is the leader of the pack
keeps everything in charge. This is an important adaptation because
the leaders keep the pack safe by always being on the look out for
intruders going in to their den. A third behavioral adaptation is
the sneak attack. This is an important adaptation because the
arctic wolf pack make a sneak attack on the musk oxen and then kill
it. A behavioral adaptation is chasing the animal. This is an
important adaptation because the arctic wolf will chase the prey
then the prey will get tired and stop then the arctic wolf will eat
it.
