Arctic Fox

« Back to Glossary Index

Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus): Arctic foxes are well adapted to cold environments. They have thick, fluffy fur that changes with the seasons. In winter, their fur is white, providing excellent camouflage against the snow. In summer, it turns brown or gray to blend in with the tundra. They have a short muzzle and small ears to minimize heat loss.
