[@lucasjorqueraramos1438]

For those who are curious, the two species of animals featured here are a boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) and an arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos). This scene takes place in northern Canada, specifically, in a large region called the Barren Grounds or also, the Barren Lands.

I agree. The Arctic Fox is actually smaller & 20x cuter than the Arctic Wolf. It also eats small mammals, eggs, insects, berries, birds, etc.

Let alone a lone wolf. News like to use that term to describe... Well you know. In reality, lone wolves don't survive long in the wild because wolves work better in a pack. Even in packs wolves hunting success rate is only like 30%...

@@AaronShenghao seriously 🤦 Wild dogs in Africa has a success rate of 80 percent
