The white wolf is a tall, graceful wolf species with white fur and light ivory on its head and soles.

In terms of living habits, in the summer, wolves will choose to hunt at night and rest during the day, but in winter, due to less food, wolves will hunt day and night.

Whenever a partner attacks an enemy and cannot win for a long time, the wolves will act collectively, pouring in from all directions to suppress the prey.
