The Arctic fox or Vulpes lagopus, also known as the white, polar, or snow fox, is a small fox native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere and common throughout the Arctic tundra biome.
They adapt well to freezing environments and boast a thick, warm white fur for comoflage. It has a large and very fluffy tail.
Smaller than the red fox, they stand about 9.8 to 11.8 inches tall at the shoulder.
Arctic foxes generally eat any small animal they can find, including lemmings, voles, other rodents, hares, birds, eggs, fish, and carrion. They scavenge on carcasses left by larger predators such as wolves and polar bears, and in times of scarcity also eat their feces.
