Walrus: A large marine mammal known for its long tusks, which it uses to haul itself onto ice and defend against predators.
Narwhal: A whale famous for the long, spiral tusk that grows from its upper jaw, earning it the nickname "unicorn of the sea."
Penguin: A flightless bird superbly adapted for swimming, though most species actually live in the Southern Hemisphere rather than the Arctic.
Seal: A sleek marine mammal that hauls out onto ice to rest, breed, and avoid predators like polar bears.
Orca: Also called a killer whale, this highly intelligent predator hunts in coordinated family groups called pods.
Reindeer: A hardy deer species, also known as caribou, that can travel hundreds of miles during its annual migration.
Lemming: A small rodent known for population booms that dramatically rise and fall over just a few years.
Puffin: A small seabird with a colorful beak, known for nesting in burrows along Arctic coastlines.
Husky: A strong, thick-coated dog breed traditionally used to pull sleds across snow and ice.
Muskox: A shaggy, cold-adapted mammal that forms a defensive circle with its herd to protect calves from predators.
