Arctic Foxes

Attempts to reverse the decline in arctic fox populations are underway in Sweden, Norway, and Sweden. Red fox population control, supplementary feeding, radio tagging, a ban on ptarmigan hunting near arctic fox breeding grounds, and monitoring are all measures that have been undertaken in attempts to save the arctic fox in these regions.

They endangered because people use their fur for coats. and because of the Clement
peole are taking away their homes and with global warming and all...........theey have no place to live.

Food availability is a determining factor.

Actually yes, Red Foxes are commonly found in the US and Canada. They live in woodlands and also farm land

they cover their face with their tails

There are 64 different species of rat. These range from rats that can be kept as pets to rats that live in the wild in sewers and wharves.

The Arctic fox digs an extensive burrow system with several rooms and entrances. It is here that the fox sleeps when not hunting for food or when the weather is bad.

Some scientists are concerned about a thin layer of soot, which is mostly invisible. That soot may be warming up the Arctic, melting its ice and snow. They wanted to find the cause of Arctic warming.Air and ocean water from all over the Earth circulate. That moves heat to the Arctic. Most places tend to absorb heat from the sun. However, the ice and snow of the polar regions reflect that heat. This allows the polar regions to cool the planet. One thought is soot, or black carbon. Soot is produced by auto and truck engines, aircraft exhaust, burning forests, and the use of wood- or coal-burning stoves. The soot may not be visible. Still, even a little soot can mean that less energy is reflected. some other scientists think that as the highly reflective snow and ice melt, the warming problem is made worse. There are dark surfaces of land and ocean beneath the ice. When the ice melts, these are exposed. They absorb more heat. This further heats the atmosphere. The scientists hoped that their studies would help lead to widespread efforts to reduce soot pollution. They believe that cutting the amount of pollutants, such as soot, could reduce therate of warming in the Arctic.

Yes, arctic fox do live in dens and if your'e looking for the place that it lives in, It lives in the Tundra it can also be found in other places but arctic fox live in very very cold places it will not survive in a hot place.

In summer the background is dark - so dark fur helps them camouflage. In winter the snow makes the environment white so white fur helps them camouflage then.

Arctic foxes are hunted because of their fur. Their fur is used in making rugs, decorations, coats, caps and other valuable things. Some feed on their meat and it may be considered as a delicacy in a few places. Also, people hunt them for entertainment and fun.

It depends if the seal is alive or not. If the seal is already dead then the arctic fox may eat part of it but if the seal is alive then the arctic fox is too small to kill the seal

Arctic fox aren't, and have never been, endangered. Their conservation status is "Least Concern." People have not needed to take action to conserve the Arctic fox species.

However, two subpopulations are endangered. One of these, on Medny Island, Russia, has suffered because of mange brought by an ear tick of the domestic dog. The foxes are currently being treated using antiparasitic medications, but nobody knows whether it will work or not.

The other rare subpopulation is in Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula. This population was decimated early in the 1900's for the fur trade.

No, but an Arctic fox could make a meal of a kittiwake. In parts of the range of the Arctic fox, seabirds make up a large part of their diet.

White or arctic foxes can eat either birds or lemmings. But if there is no birds or lemmings, they will eat almost anything, including what polar bears have left behind when they have feasted. Also, when food is plentiful they will bury it for later.

The Arctic fox's fur can be gray/blue or white in the winter so that it blends into the landscape. Its coat then changes from gray/blue to a charcoal color and from white to a brown color as summer begins. This is so that they are still camouflaged when the snow melts. They need to be camouflaged so prey and predators cannot see them as well.

It has the warmest fur of any mammal which is even warmer than the polar bear. Their fur is also oily, which helps to trap in some of the heat and waterproof the fox.

Arctic foxes also have a compact body with short legs, short ears, dense fur, and thickly haired foot pads. Therefore the less surface area is exposed to the cold, less heat escapes the body. These not only help to insulate against the cold, but provide grip on the ice as well.

They also have a good supply of body fat to keep them warm. Their short ears prevent body heat loss so they can stay warm.

They have a long, thick, bushy tail so that when they curl up to go to sleep they can cover their face with it, to keep them warm.

The Arctic Fox has such a keen sense of hearing that it can locate the exact position of prey under the snow, before using its front paws to punch through the snow and catch it.

In the coldest parts of the arctic, some foxes have adapted to following polar bears to feed off the scraps they leave behind when they are hunting.

No, it is not an invasive species. It is a native to all areas where it lives and has been for tens of thousands of years.

Absolutely NOT they are strictly meat eaters, you should google to find out their diet; basically it is what ever that these beautiful creatures are able to catch. Also because they live the the Arctic rabbit is easy prey as these Wolves and most breeds (dogs) have an extremely keen sense of smell so they are able to pick up the scent of a rabbit that is burowed underground. It is a hard life there so what ever they can hunt and kill is what they do
No all wolves are carnivores, which means they only eat meat.
No. Arctic wolves are not omnivores. They are carnivores. They eat caribou, arctic hares, lemmings, must ox, ptarmigans, and seals.

The Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos), also known as the Melville Island wolf, is a subspecies of gray wolf native to the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, from Melville Island to Ellesmere Island.

Arctic wolves catch their prey by chasing them down. Depending on what type of prey it is, they can catch them multiple ways. -jumping, biting, chasing, and sneak attacks-- For hooved prey, they would circle the herd, and like lions, a few would run at one of the animals, and separate it from the herd, and head it to where others lay in ambush, and after that, they bite it and chase it till they can get it at bay, and kill it.

Yes, the Arctic fox is one of the animals in the tundra biome

they could use it to make coats up in the north where it is cool. now, in many places hunting them for their fur is illegal.

They often are, and have every reason to be afraid. However, polar bears do not see these foxes as their next meal, thus an arctic fox wouldn't be or is nearly as scared of a polar bear as a seal would be.

Arctic foxes often trail polar bears, and feed off scraps left by the bigger predator.
