White Arctic Wolf
I took this photo of this beautiful White Arctic Wolf at the Edmonton Valley Zoo.
According to the City of Edmonton website, “Arctic wolves are well adapted to survive subzero temperatures, up to five months of darkness and weeks without food. To blend in with their surroundings, they are usually white with grey or brown undertones.”
Thanks in advance for liking, commenting, sharing and purchasing. Thanks for all positive considerations.

Pretty much anywhere you go when you are near water; you will find Seagulls or Gulls. I read that these birds breed on every continent and even on the fringes of Antarctica and the North Arctic which I think is amazing. I think this speaks to their hardiness and ability to adapt to various climates around the world. I do realize they are mainly scavengers and so this explains their ability to sustain themselves. Apparently, they can live a long time and often mate for life. Their offspring are precocial which means they are able to be mobile upon hatching out of their eggs, among a few other things. This photo that I took was on a lake which had these large pieces of wood sticking out of the water which I believe is being used to moor boats to near the shoreline. It looks as if the Seagulls have taken over. Enjoy!
