The Arctic area has a wider variety of wildlife than Antarctica, though both regions require many adaptations and unique specialization for any animal to survive in the harsh cold. On the North Pole, in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, there are more surrounding land masses that allow animals to travel across the arctic (compared to Antarctica, which is unreachable by land and thus isolated from outside visitation or migration by land animals.)
Among the list of remarkable arctic animals are the snow-white arctic fox, the arctic wooly bear moth, the powder-white and plush arctic hare, the crisp white arctic tern, and others. The dirty-white arctic wolf (canis lupus arctos) is a strong predator here, and the bald eagle can be spotted flying above the region. The greenland shark also inhabits arctic waters, along with the otherworldly narwhals.
Canadian geese fly over the arctic, moose and sheep cross paths here, and orcas churn up the arctic ocean's waters looking for seal. The harp seal, spotted seal, ringed seal, bearded seal, and the walrus all flourish here. Ermines, lemmings, and snowy owls can also be found in the arctic.
