Details for Arctic Fox

• Arctic Fox

  The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) is a small fox native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, highly adapted to cold environments. It is renowned for its thick, insulating fur that changes color with the seasons – typically white in winter for camouflage against snow and brown or grey in summer. They usually weigh between 2.5-4.5 kg (5.5-10 lbs) and measure 46-68 cm (18-27 inches) in body length. Arctic foxes are opportunistic predators and scavengers, feeding on lemmings, voles, birds, eggs, fish, and carrion left by polar bears. They are resilient survivors of the extreme Arctic climate.
