A Rare Polar Fox Spotted In Yamal, Russia

The polar fox is also known as the arctic fox, white fox or snow fox, and it usually inhabits the arctic regions of the northern hemisphere. Its fur is thick because it is prepared to survive in these cold places. But if the temperature drops below -70ºC you may start to feel a bit cold. Its white fur serves to be able to camouflage itself in the snow, according to what several sources report. These small animals live from 3 to 4 years, their world population is not threatened. But do not forget that they inhabit Medny Island, Russia and Fennoscandia (Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula). In Russia the population of the polar fox was reduced between 85 to 90% and the cause of this has been by its fur. Since it is used for the manufacture of coats in some parts of the world, according to a media specialized in animals.
