I believe, from what I've read, it's in the Arctic. I could be wrong.
There are no Antarctic foxes. There are, however, Arctic foxes.
Red foxes have vocalizations that serve a variety of purposes. All vocalizations reach a peak in winter. This peak corresponds to the time of dispersal of juvenile foxes and to the mating season. Foxes bark, yell, murmur, shriek, and whine. "Fox talk" is very similar to what your pet dog might do to get your attention.
A polar bear does not actually have white fur. A polar bear's skin is black so it can soak up as much of the sun's rays as possible. Polar bears have almost transparent fur over black skin. Reflection of the sunlight from the densely packed transparent hairs makes polar bears seem to be white. The bears' black skin absorbs heat from the sun. The seemingly-transparent fur is made up of hollow hairs called guard hairs. These air-filled guard hairs help transmit heat from the sunlight to the polar bear's black skin as a solar heat collector. In turn, the reflection stops the heat being lost from their black skin. The polar bear's fur seems colourless and for many years, scientists worked on the theory that the individual hairs act as fiber optics bringing sunlight directly to the skin. This has recently been proven to be incorrect, and the hairs are not truly transparent, but contain keratin. Viewed side-on, the hairs appear colourless; viewed lengthwise (as if one was looking down a telescope) the hairs no longer appear transparent. However, even though the hairs do not carry light to the polar bear's skin, they do carry heat.
it helps them survive in the cold winters in antarctica and the white fur helps them to camouflage themselves when searching for prey.
The arctic fox became endangered around 2002 to 2003. The arctic fox has an estimated 20 percent chance of becoming extinct.
They consume berries and seaweed, so they may be considered omnivores.
Actually, foxes 'den' in whatever their environment may be. Generally they establish a den in a small cave or indentation on a mountainside or any rise in the land around them. There they give birth to their litters and keep the babies (kits) until their eyes open and they're ready to learn the ways of fox-life.
They have very thick fur that helps keep them warm. They also curl up and cover their noses with their tail to protect their nose from the cold since it is the only place on their body that dosent have fur.
Artic Foxes are carnivores. They eat lemmings. Lemmings look like large mice.
No, the Arctic fox is a wild animal and shouldn't be kept as pets.
Of course the question is "can you" not "should you."
Actually, yes, you can keep an arctic fox as a pet. It is completely legal in the US to buy a domesticated fox cub from a breeder and take it into your home. Whether or not your state allows it is another story.
The trophic level of the Arctic cod is as a primary consumer. The Arctic cod is consumed by the Seals and killer whales.
an arctic wolf moves with its feet.
Just how many people move.
you silly ducks. :)

A ban on foxhunting with dogs would save 50,000 foxes killed by Lurchers and terriers according to Ben Stewart of the League Against Cruel Sports. If you are interested in having foxhunting banned- write to your member of parliament and to the Prime Minister. Join the League Against Cruel Sports, which has campaigned nearly 80 years against foxhunting.

try to clone them or stop killing them
It is possible that the homosexuals in the United States would be sympathetic to this cause and would be willing to donate huge amounts of their unused semen towards the procreation of more Fox... somehow.
