The European red fox (Vulpes vulpes), has a colour ranging from pale to dark russet. There are many other species of fox. The Arctic fox has a white coat in winter and a greyish coat in summer.
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.
A characteristic of a fox that adapts is the fox's fur coat. Its fur coat adapts to the temperatures of the different seasons most noticeable is its thin fur coat during sumer which may be accompanied by a bright orange colour and its winter coat which is larger and fluffier in order to trap air in.
