"Arctic foxes live in some of the planet's most extreme conditions. An arsenal of cold-conquering adaptations helps them survive temperatures that plummet below -50 degrees Celsius. These include the animal kingdom's best insulating fur and increased blood circulation to the feet which stops the fox's paws freezing to the ice. They range far and wide in the arctic and alpine tundra, but home dens are important and may be used for centuries by subsequent generations. Lemmings are such an important part of their diet that arctic fox populations can be greatly affected by their availablity"
The first time I saw this picture I thought: Ooh! Is a samoyedo! (samoyedo is a Russian dog, white too, they are so lovely, and they are my favourite breed) But no, it was a fox.I think that they are so amazing 'cause they are prepared to be below -50 degrees! brrrr...That's cold! If someday I can see one Arctic fox I would like to touch its fur, 'cause it has to be so soft! The first time I saw a fox, was three months ago more or less, and it was dead, near the road. But anyway it was so beautiful...I hope the next time Ive to see a fox, It will be with its young foxes sleeping, for example :)I hope someday you can see one Arctic fox and make a photo to give me!!
