Meet The Beautiful Arctic Fox – The Hardiest Of All Arctic Animals

These colorings help foxes to effectively hunt rodents, birds, and even fish. But in winter prey can be scarce on the ground. At such times, arctic foxes will follow the region's premier predator—a polar bear—to eat the leftover scraps from its kills. Foxes will also eat vegetables when they are available. Like a cat's, this fox's thick tail aids its balance. But for an arctic fox the tail (or brush) is especially useful as warm cover in cold weather. Female arctic foxes give birth each spring to a large litter of up to 14 pups.
