  • Do wolves live in Antarctica? If not, is it possible they could live there?

Gray wolves do not inhabit Antarctica, though the gray wolf subspecies, the arctic wolf, lives in the Arctic, which is in the north rather than the south. I doubt your average, run-of-the-mill gray wolf would be able to live there successfully nowadays, given that they probably wouldn't be well-equipped at all or accustomed to the harsh climate- correct me if I am wrong but I do not see how.
