By changing fur colour, depending on the season, the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) is using camouflage. White fur against the white of the winter snow is harder to see the fox as it stalks its prey, or escapes from a predator (Polar Bear?). Brown fur is less noticeable against the green grasses and the grey-brownish rocks, than if the fox kept a white coat all year round. The brown fur is not uniform in colour, with streaks of greyish-white.
