The Arctic Fox

Hello friends today I am going to do the Arctic Fox which is a pretty dangerous animal if your a hare or bird.There is only one type of Arctic fox which is just the Arctic Fox, the Arctic Fox can live from 3 to 6 years and is an omnivore and obviously this animal can not have eggs so it is a mammal, the Arctic Fox can live in very cold temperature like –58°F (-50°C).This Fox can live in such whether because of its beautiful white coat which provides warmth and camouflage in the snow. An Arctic Fox lives in a burrow which is a tunnel under ground to keep them safe from blizzard or predators, like wolves, polar bears and humans/eskimos. The size of this creature is 18 to 26 cm's from head to tail.

   

Like a cats tail(when bristled), a Foxes tail is big and puffy so they survive in the harsh weather of the Arctic they use there tail to keep warm by curling up.The biggest predator for the fox is the polar bear, a big and fluffy bear that will eat most things, when hungry. A group of Fox are called either a skulk or leash. A female Arctic Fox can give birth to 14 pups each spring. Arctic Foxes are not in many films because they can sometimes be hard to find because they are solitary creatures.

 COOL FACT!

An Arctic Foxes name in Latin is Alopex lagopus.          This video is of a fox listening for mice then
