An Arctic fox has a thick coat that keeps it warm, plus small ears and a short nose that lose less heat. Its coat is white in winter to match the snow and brown in summer to match the rocks. When it sleeps, it curls up and covers its nose with its bushy tail.

Arctic foxes live on the treeless tundra around the top of the world. They eat lemmings, small animals that live under the snow, and a fox can hear one moving beneath the surface and then leap high to dive in. When food is hard to find, they follow polar bears and eat the leftovers. In a snowstorm they dig into a drift to get out of the wind.
