Their packs are typically medium, as in about 8 members. Their diet includes deer, caribou, elk, moose, other small mammals, and ocasionally birds.

Maned Wolf - This breed was often described as "a Red Fox on stilts'. They can weigh between 50-55 lbs. The Maned Wolf's fur is reddish brown to golden orange on the sides, with long, black legs and a distinctive black mane. The coat is further marked with a whitish tuft at the tip of the tail and a white "bib" beneath the throat. The mane is erectile, and is typically used to enlarge the wolf's profile when threatened or when displaying aggression. Their diet consists of small to medium prey such as rodents, hares, birds, and fish. They also tend to eat some vegetation such as sugarcane, tubers, and fruit.
Arctic Wolf - This breed is probably the purest of all wolf breeds. They are generally smaller than gray wolves, though they often weigh 100+ lbs. They mostly hunt caribou and musk ox, though they also prey on a number of arctic hares and lemmings as well as other smaller animals.
