Arctic Wolf

Miscellaneous FactsThe arctic wolf can be found in the taiga biome of almost every continent. They live there along with many animals, including polar bears, lemmings, musk ox, moose, and rodents. Some of the prey of the arctic wolf are elk, hares, mice, caribou, and lemmings. The arctic wolf has to look out for its predators, including the polar bears, and some humans.

Food ChainThe diet of the Artic wolf consists of many things, including hare, elk, and musk ox. The main producers in this food chain are plants, like berries or twigs. The first level consumers are small rodents or birds, like hares or lemmings. They eat the producers. The second level consumers are the artic wolves. They feed on the first level consumers. The second level consumers are eaten by the decomposers. The decomposers are usually bacteria or fungi. When the second level consumer dies, if nothing else eats it, the decomposers feed off their nutrients. A food chain example starts with the producers, like berries. The first level producer, a hare, eats the berries. The second level consumer, an artic wolf, eats the hare. When the artic wolf dies, the decomposers, fungi, feed off it’s nutrients to keep it growing.
