ABOUT THE Arctic Foxes
Arctic foxes are well adapted for life at sub-zero temperatures.
They have a dense, woolly coat which helps them to survive at temperatures of -50C. They also have fur on the soles of their feet, and increased blood flow to the foot pads to prevent freezing, as well as small, heavily furred ears and a short nose to help reduce heat loss.
They are a social species, particularly in winter, when they live in small family groups.
The female gives birth between April and June to a litter of 4 – 20 pups.
