Arctic vs. Tundra wolf
There is a separate article on Tundra Wolf which is said to be the albus subspecies, as contrary to the Arctic wolf, arctos. From the article: The Tundra Wolf is often confused with the North American Arctic Wolf Canis lupus arctos. If that is true (most likely), then the statement here that the Arctic Wolf is known also as Tundra Wolf should be changed according to that. I won't do it right away, but if noone complains, I'll change that in a few days. --Arny 14:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Fix needed
The Reproduction section on the Arctic Wolf needs to be corrected.

"Arctic Wolves start to mate at the age of 2-3 years of age, so pretty much they mate for all eternity. Did you know that only the alpha male and female breed, but in large packs others may mate as well? This is due to the Arctic's permafrost soil and the difficulty it poses for digging dens, but the female gets an aide by the other pack members, they help dig the den, caves or even shallow depressions as dens instead. Not only do they uses caves as there den they also uses a hollow tree.As the mother gives birth to two to three pups in late May to early June, about a month later than Gray Wolves.When the Arctic pups are born they're born blind,deaf and dark in color.After about 10 days there eyes start to open, and after 3 weeks they can finally hear.During this time inthe den other pack members bring food to the mother and act as babysitters.At 8-10 weeks the pups leave the den to discover the outside world.Last, but not least the Arctic Pups start to get in on the hunt at 6 months and from that time they will feed with the other members of the pack. Live 10-18 years."

I do not know how much of this is correct but even if it is this article cannot be written this way. I hope someone who knows something on this subject can fix this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Photomotoz (talk • contribs) 09:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

Orphaned references in Arctic wolf
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Arctic wolf's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Somone vandalized the "Hunting" section.
Perhaps out of some good intention, but still, this requires correction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.153.177.182 (talk) 08:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
