With some luck you may even see the wolves that made them. In summer, wolves are often at inland denning sites raising pups or hunting. You will need considerable perseverance, patience and luck to see signs of wolves once the snow melts.

Wolverine fur is used for trimming parka hoods because frost slips off hairs easily.
These smaller animals are relatively abundant throughout Nunavut, and can be seen near most communities. In 1919, red foxes crossed Hudson Strait from Quebec to Baffin Island, and reached the Queen Elizabeth Islands by 1962. On average, they have litters of four to eight pups. Arctic foxes usually bear only four to six young. As with the red fox, litter size increases significantly in years when lemmings are numerous.
