Also, were a husky to escape, he/she would become the apex predator, unless there are also bears around. Also, were a husky to escape in a country where it is allowed to hunt wolves, that husky would also be hunted because they are also predators of live stock. Wolves are protected in several states, as well as in the United Kingdom, and in many other countries and regions. – When you say that one important difference between huskies and wolves is that the former are not hunted, while the latter are, is a flawed conclusion. Their stamina is reflected in their physiology: the narrow, but deep chest provides large lung capacity that doesn’t slow them down (no ‘barrel chest’ like many other dog breeds). A Siberian husky can run for 30-40 miles a day. Siberian huskies are not very fast (compared to other dog breeds), and they have an amazing stamina. – You say that huskies rely on their speed, whilst wolves rely on their stamina, while hunting. They shed their coat twice a year (at least), which helps them keep adapt to the seasons. – Siberian huskies can survive in hot climates (although certainly nowhere near the equator). Also, as others also pointed out, husky-type dogs are completely different breeds! Japanese akita and Siberian huskies may both look ‘husky-like’ but they are very different in their breeding, physiology, temperament, etc. For example, Siberian huskies have very high stamina, whilst Alaskan Malamutes don’t. – You need to clarify which husky-type dog you’re referring to when describing a characteristic. ![]() Unlike wolves, huskies can be kept as a pet. Wolves can survive in a variety of climates, ranging from tundra to deserts, while husky cannot survive in hot climates.Ģ.

The eye colour of huskies vary from brown to blue. The wolves’ paws are adapted to be able to walk on a wide variety of terrains. The wolves depend more on their stamina, rather than speed, for hunting, while the huskies depend more on their speed. The wolves generally have a greyish white coat, while the huskies’coats have more colours, like brown, black, and white. There are many types of huskies, like the Siberian husky, Greenland husky, Mackenzie River husky, Sakhalin husky and Alaskan malamute. The wolves, unlike huskies, regularly feature in the folklores of various cultures across the world. Wolves are a protected species in some areas, while in others they are hunted for fun. Another difference between the two, is that wolves have been known to thrive in various types of climates, like temperate zones, mountains, tundra, taiga and grasslands, but the huskies have a thick fur that protects them from cold weather, and they cannot survive in areas with high temperatures. The huskies, on the other hand, do not occupy the prime position. ![]() The wolves are the prime, or apex predators, in their ecological system. DNA testing has confirmed the fact, that wolves and dogs, have common ancestry. Its origins can be traced back to 300,000 years, and it survived the Ice Age.
