Fenn The Arctic Fox-6 inch

The Arctic fox is an incredibly resilient animal, adapted to survive in some of the harshest conditions on Earth. It lives in the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, including Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. The fox has thick fur that changes color with the seasons: white in winter to blend in with the snow, and brown or gray in the summer to match the tundra landscape.

These small foxes have a compact body, short legs, and small, rounded ears, which help conserve body heat. They are opportunistic eaters, feeding on everything from lemmings (their main prey) to birds, eggs, and even leftover carcasses from polar bears. They’re also known for their playful nature and impressive endurance, often traveling long distances to find food.

The Arctic fox population fluctuates based on the availability of prey, particularly lemmings. While not endangered, they face threats from climate change, which affects their habitat and prey availability, as well as competition from red foxes moving northward.
