Arctic foxes have red feet primarily due to the pigmentation in their fur, which helps them blend into their environment and provides some level of insulation. The reddish hue can also be attributed to the need for camouflage against the tundra landscape during certain seasons. Additionally, the coloration may play a role in signaling to other foxes or in thermoregulation, helping to manage heat in their cold habitat.
