The Arctic Fox is a small fox native to cold Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is the only fox occupying Arctic habitats. It has a dense winter coat and the soles of its feet are covered entirely with dense hair.
Arctic Foxes are opportunistic feeders, eating nearly everything they can find or catch. They eat lemmings, rodents, birds, fish, marine mammals, and carrion. Sometimes they will even follow Polar Bears and feed on their leftovers. - Taken from WAZA. |
