Made to survive the cold: an arctic fox has furry paws, dense coat, fluffy tail, and short ears and muzzle—all these features give the arctic fox the ability to adapt to temperatures that are negative 50˚F or lower.

Camouflage: the arctic fox is white during winter; however, its fur color changes to brownish or grayish during summer—a feature that makes the fox camouflaged for the season.
