Feeding and Hunting Habits While lemmings and arctic hare are staple food sources for the arctic wolf, they often try to take down larger game, caribou, musk ox, elk and mountain sheep. These larger animals can only be taken down by the effort of an entire pack. They rarely have a chance for a surprise attack. Instead, the pack circles the animals, who usually create a defensive shield for the young, trying to confuse and scatter them. Then the wolves go for the weak, old or young. A large animal can feed a pack for days. On occasion, the arctic wolf is known to eat fish, birds, small rodents and even berries.
