Facts about this animal The Arctic fox is a small fox (ca. 3–5
kg) native to cold Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It
has reduced limb size, a short snout, short and rounded ears,
and a dense winter coat. The soles of its feet are covered
entirely with dense hair. The tail is bushy and accounts for
one-third of the total head and body length (53-55 cm, tail
length: 30-31 cm). Females are only slightly smaller than males.
The Arctic fox is the only fox occupying Arctic habitats and the
only Canid to change colour during winter. Two colour morphs are
known: the white and the blue colour morph. During the winter
the white morph is white with black at the tip of its tail; it's
a grayish brown in the summer. The blue morph is a dark blue
during the winter; in the summer it is brown. Arctic foxes are
opportunistic feeders, eating nearly everything they can find or
catch. They eat lemmings, rodents, birds, fish, marine mammals
and carrion. Sometimes Arctic foxes will follow polar bears and
feed on the left
