A Rare White Wolf.
Wolves are animals which first appear in Far Cry 4 in the form of the Tibetan Wolf, and which make another appearance in Far Cry Primal. In Primal, they are based on the North American Dire Wolf, Canis dirus, and the Eurasian Megafaunal wolf, also known as the Cave Wolf, Canis lupus spelaeus.
Description
Wolves are found all across Oros, and come in three variants, the regular Wolf, the Rare White Wolf, and the Rare Stripe Wolf. White Wolves and Stripe Wolves can be spotted sometimes among other wolves. Wolves hunt in packs of three or more individuals, and frequently one of the wolves is a rare variant. Wolf packs are more active at night than during the daytime. Wolves cannot swim nor climb, and do fear fire, as well as tameable.
The Snowblood Wolf, a Great Beast, is a White wolf. It is found in the far southern region of Oros, and its pack consists of a dozen or more individual wolves.

Guide
The first beast tamed is the White Wolf in Tensay’s Beast Master mission. He is a decent first beast, but is quickly replaced. Keeping it by your side clears out the map fog quicker. Wolves can be found across most of Oros, but they tend to hunt in packs. Isolate one before taming it. They are weak, but fast. It’s not really worth calling in a wolf when you can get the White Wolf that you tamed in the Beast Master mission. The Rare Stripe Wolf can sometimes be found with a pack of Wolves. Do the Wolf Beast Kill quest for a guaranteed sighting. As a companion, it is very similar to the White Wolf, but is more resistant to fire.
Complete the Snowblood Wolf hunt to tame the Snowblood Wolf. Its stats are well balanced. Like other canines, it warns of nearby enemies by growling. It also reveals a wider range in the mini-map and Map menu. Its high of stealth makes it a good choice when trying to go undetected.
If confronted by a wolf pack the main target should be the pack leader (a White wolf). If the pack leader is killed then the other wolves will proceed to scatter and run away from you but can be aggrovated if chased.
Trivia
- Many palaeontologists believe domesticated dogs are the descendants of tamed Megafaunal wolves. Despite Takkar being portrayed in the game as the first human to tame beasts, wolves were likely domesticated tens of thousands of years before the timeframe of Far Cry Primal, 10,000 B.C.
