Arctic fox
A symbol of resilience and adaptability, the Arctic fox thrives in some of the harshest conditions on Earth. This fluffy mammal sports a brilliant white coat in winter, allowing it to blend seamlessly with snow-covered landscapes. But as seasons change, so does its fur, adopting a grayish-brown hue during the warmer months.
Surviving in the tundra isn’t easy, but the Arctic fox has a series of remarkable adaptations. Their round, compact bodies minimize the surface area exposed to cold air, and their keen sense of hearing helps them locate prey beneath thick layers of snow.
