The Arctic fox primarily hunts small mammals, particularly lemmings, which make up a significant portion of its diet. It also preys on birds, bird eggs, and carrion, especially during the harsher winter months when food is scarce. Additionally, Arctic foxes are opportunistic feeders and may scavenge from larger predators, such as polar bears, to supplement their diet. Their keen sense of hearing and adaptability allow them to thrive in the challenging Arctic environment.
What vegetables do Arctic foxes eat?
