OtterKnow Kids EncyclopediaThe arctic fox is a small, fluffy fox that lives in very cold places. It has a magical trick – its fur changes color with the seasons! Arctic foxes are tough little animals that survive in freezing weather.
In winter, the arctic fox’s fur turns white to hide in the snow. In summer, its fur changes to brown or gray. They have thick, bushy tails that they wrap around their bodies like a blanket to stay warm.
Arctic foxes eat small animals, birds, and berries. They have great hearing and can find animals hiding under the snow. In winter, they sometimes follow polar bears to eat their leftovers.
- Arctic fox babies are called kits, and they love to play and wrestle with each other.
- Arctic foxes can survive temperatures as cold as negative 50 degrees!
- Their fluffy fur even covers the bottoms of their paws to keep them warm.
