The Arctic Fox is a small fox species native to the tundra in the arctic regions. They're around 30 centimeters high at the shoulders and on average 50-55 centimeters long without the tail, roughly two thirds the size of red foxes. They prey on small rodents like voles and lemmings, birds and their eggs, fish and carrion. They also consume berries and seaweed. Any food left over will be stored for later.

Arctic Foxes have different coat colours depending on the region and the season. The ones living inland in the snow are usually white while the ones living at the coast are brown or grey so they can blend in with the rocky cliffs. The white winter coat is very thick to insulate them against the harsh cold. The difference between body temperature and outside temperature can be around 100 degrees celsius.
