Arctic Fox

Basic Information

Anatomy

They have white, warm fur to help them blend in with their surroundings. They have small eyes, nose and ears to protect them from the cold and stubby little legs. They also have fur on the bottom of their paws to keep them from slipping on ice.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They can sense things through the snow. They eat meat like rabbit, steak and rats. They also like berries and seeds. In the wild they pounce and go right on top of their meal. Other animals don't see it coming since foxes do it quietly.

Additional Information

Domestication

They are pets and love the people there. Almost all families in the north have them. They are a part of Youth Celebration. They sleep in a warm fuzzy bed similar to dog beds and eat berries and meat from rabbits. They are very social which is good for children. They are cute and cuddly and require no training. They can take awhile to get used to people. Children love to play with them the most and parents also like them. When they are adopted, they are given names. The most common are: Snowy, Aurora, and Blizzard.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

They live in colder regions of the world. They have a life in the forest and aren't seen as much by the inhabitants. When they are spotted they are usually in skulks up to 5.
