Description: The arctic fox is one of the two wild dogs who adapted for life in cold places, along with the big wolf. Arctic foxes are native to the Arctic Circle. In winter, their fur coats are white, so they can camouflage in the snow, which also helped this fox to keep them warm and cozy. Not only that they are dominated by polar bears and wolves, but they are dominated by the red fox which these two foxes coexist with each other in Northern Europe, for example to the places where red foxes dominate the arctic cousins. Like arctic animals like reindeer, muskoxen, and wolves, arctic foxes molt their winter coats in summertime, which their summer fur is greyish brownish. These foxes can't shiver in the most frigid places in the Arctic. They can scavenge the kills from polar bears and wolves had. They can track their small prey whose hiding in the snow, so they catch these rodents with a fox jump, with their furry paws. Their species' name comes from their furry soles of their feet, to keep the foxes really warm.
