Arctic Fox
A small fox found in the Arctic, perfectly suited to its frozen environment.
Adaptations: Has a thick white coat for camouflage and warmth, and small ears to reduce heat loss.
💡 Fun Facts
- Coat: The Arctic fox is a master of disguise. Its coat is brilliant white in winter to blend in with snow, but it changes to a brownish-grey in summer to match the tundra rocks.
- Warmth: Its fur is the best insulating fur of any mammal. The fox can survive temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F) before it even needs to start shivering.
- Ears & Paws: The fox has fur on the bottom of its paws to protect them from the cold ground and provide grip on the ice. Its small ears and short nose also help prevent heat loss.
