Genetically, the Arctic fox is adapted to its harsh environment through specific traits such as a thick fur coat, which changes color seasonally for camouflage, and a compact body shape that minimizes heat loss. Environmentally, the Arctic fox thrives in cold, tundra landscapes by exhibiting behaviors like burrowing for shelter and hunting for small mammals, birds, and carrion. These adaptations enable the fox to survive extreme temperatures and find food in a challenging ecosystem.

The fox doesn't live where it does because it "likes" the Arctic - (even if the fox did, this would be a personal opinion and we can't know for sure because we can't access their thoughts) it only lives in the Arctic because it is adapted to the Arctic. They might like the Arctic, they might like the Maldives! But that isn't the point.

The Arctic fox evolved from a common ancestor shared with other fox species, primarily the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), around 3 to 6 million years ago.

Genetic studies suggest that the Arctic fox has also adapted to extreme temperatures and seasonal changes, differentiating it from its relatives.
