Why does an arctic fox have a brown coat in the summer and a white coat in the winter?

Arctic foxes can have white or grey fur.
When they are kits, they are born with brownish-black fur, then when in adulthood, they have either white or grey fur. During the summers of their Adulthood, their fur will turn a greyish-bluish-black mixture. Hope this helps!

Yes, just like the polar bear the Arctic fox has black skin under its fur, this helps to regulate their body heat and to keep warm in the Arctic.
