The arctic fox is a mammal.

It is an omnivore that means that they eat


plants and other animals. The average life span in the wild for them is
about three to six years.

The arctic fox is an incredibly hardy animal that can survive frigid Arctic
temperatures as low as -50°C in the treeless lands where it makes its
home. It has furry soles, short ears, and a short muzzle,all-important
adaptations to the chilly clime. Arctic foxes live in burrows, and in a
blizzard they may tunnel into the snow to create shelter.
Arctic foxes have beautiful white sometimes blue-gray coats that act as
very effective winter camouflage. The natural hues allow the animal to
blend into the tundra's ubiquitous snow and ice. When the seasons
change, the fox's coat turns as well, adopting a brown or gray
appearance that provides cover among the summer tundra's rocks and
plants.
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 such as 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.
The average length is 85.3 cm, with a range of 83 to 110 cm, in the male
and 82.1 cm , with a range of 71.3 to 85 cm , in the female. The tail is
31 cm long in the male and 30 cm long in the female. It is 25–30 cm
high at the shoulder. On average males weigh 3.5 kg , with a range of
3.2 to 9.4 kg , while females average 2.9 kg , with a range of 1.4 to
3.2 kg.
The lush white coat of the arctic fox provides both warmth and camouflage in winter.
