The lush white coat of the Arctic fox provides both warmth and camouflage in winter,
during the rough snowy months.
The Arctic fox is a Mammal, so only gives birth to live young.
It is an Omnivore, so hunts for hares, and other live animals/ pray.
An average fox lives for 3 to 6 years
In a group, Arctic foxes are called Skulks or a leash
An Arctic fox compared with adult man (6ft)
It is like a normal foxes size or even a dog!
Being white helps the fox to hunt as you know already, these colorings help foxes to
effectively hunt rodents, birds, and even fish.
But in winter prey can be scarce on the ground.
The arctic fox is an incredibly hardy animal that can survive
frigid Arctic temperatures as low as –58°F (-50°C) in the treeless lands where it makes its home.
Like a cat's, this fox's thick tail aids its balance.
But for an arctic fox the tail (or "brush") is especially useful as warm cover in cold weather.
Female arctic foxes give birth each spring to a large litter of up to 14 pups.
