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. Adaptations to its cold environment, such as a thick fur coat, a compact body, and a unique color-changing coat for camouflage, have helped it thrive in Arctic habitats. Genetic studies suggest that the Arctic fox has also adapted to extreme temperatures and seasonal changes, differentiating it from its relatives.
