Arctic Foxes

Maybe for camouflage in the snow perchance.

The Arctic fox turns brown in the summer because they are camouflage animals.

As summer begins, the arctic fox sheds its white coat for a brown one, perfect cover for summer. The change back to a winter coat occurs in September and October. By November the white winter coat is complete. Foxes of the blue coloring remain dark or charcoal colored all year but become a little lighter in winter. Normally white in winter and brownish grey in summer.

No, like all other animals, the Arctic Hare is an eukaryote organism.

The arctic fox hunts any meat it can find, really

Arctic foxes can survive in temperatures as low as -58 degrees Fahrenheit. About -15 degrees Celsius.

"The arctic fox is a fluffy, thick coated fox with small ears and fur-covered feet. It has a small muzzle along with the ears to help prevent heat-loss which gives it a cat-like appearance. The arctic fox is usually thought of as to have white fur. Usually, this is not true. In the summer time, the average arctic fox actually has a greenish-yellow coat and during the winter, a creamy white color with white markings. There is however, a type of arctic fox that never actually turns white. He is a bluish-gray color year round. This variety known as the blue fox is most commonly found near the oceans and on islands where there is less snow. In western Greenland, as much as half or more of the arctic foxes are blue. In Canada, less than one percent are blue."

They eat ptarmigans, seabirds and their eggs, any birds they can catch and leftover caribou or seal carcasses from polar bear kills. Life is hard in the arctic, and nothing is passed up by the fox.

The Arctic Foxes are not rare there are several thousand left in the wild.

This answer is not true. The arctic fox is too small to hunt a caribou. Their relationship is commensalism. The caribou digs for food in the snow and when it leaves, the arctic fox will come in and eat the animals that live below the snow. The caribou is unaffected while the arctic fox benefits.

It would screw up the ecoystem. Usually if any animal disaperes it affects the whole food chain. If the acrtic fox preys on a certain species, and the fox disaperes then suddently there is nothing hunting the smaller prey so they will over populate. And if something hunts the acrtic fox than they would have no more to hunt. So it is important to protect all animals :)

arctic fox live in the northern hemisphere, Alaska, the arctic regions of Asia, Europe, and North America lala.com-listen to music for free! even in schools its not blocked!! yeah that was random

Arctic foxes do not hibernate because they do not have enough fat on their bodies to supply nutrition during such a long season like winter. I hope this helps!! *bites lip*

No, the arctic fox stays in the northern regions all year round.

There is no such thing as sea foxes. but there is an arctic fox.

Arctic foxes generally eat any small animal they can find, including lemmings, voles, other rodents, hares, birds, eggs, fish, and carrion. They scavenge on carcasses left by larger predators such as wolves and polar bears, and in times of scarcity even eat their feces. They also consume berries and seaweed, so they may be considered to be omnivores.

The Arctic fox has been classified as a fox because, indeed, it is a species of fox. They are closely related to other foxes in the Genus vulpes, and they share nearly the same DNA as other species of foxes.

The adults have few predators, because of their keen senses and quick agile ways. But the do fall victim to polar bears and wolves, but this is a rare occurance. The young may be taken by raptors, such as large hawks or eagles.

I've seen many red foxes in van buren ar, so i guess they do.

According to DEFRA, for the canines of the following genera, you do not need any kind of license to own one as a pet in the UK

Alopex - Arctic Fox,

Cerdocyon - Crab-Eating Fox,

Otocyon - Bat-Eared Fox,

Psuedolopex - Argentine Grey Fox,

Urocyon - Island Fox,

Vulpes - Red Fox.

You would therefore need a license for species like the Kit Fox, or the Fennec.

An arctic foxes fur changes color throughout the seasons; summer, their fur is brown or black, but in winter their fur is white. It's white, thick fur and fluffy white tail help it survive in their extreme environment.

Arctic Foxes use their colours for camoflage in their environment. In Winter they are pure white and they blend in with the snow and ice, and in spring they turn brown so they can blend in with the rocks and grass after the snow melts.

There is a commonly held fallacy that all foxes live alone. Some do, but not all. Snow or Arctic Foxes live in small family groups and lead a nomadic life, going wherever the prey is. An Arctic Fox possesses the ability to hear a rat beneath the ice and ground and immediately dig it out for food.

they get the water from their mouth and they get their oxygen from breathing through their lungs.
