 Arctic Fox
Hi, I am an Arctic fox!

I live in a very cold place called the

Arctic. It sometimes gets to be
below 50 degrees here, but I don't
mind too much because I have a
white thick coat of fur to keep
me warm. I also have very furry feet, short ears,
and a short nose. All of these features help make it
so I can live in the Arctic. My feet are so furry, that
my nickname is sometimes "hare foot!" My coat isn't
always white though. It is white in the winter to help
me hide against the snow. When it is summer, my coat
can turn brown or gray to hide me against the tundra
of the Arctic. This camouflage helps me to catch my
food. I have very good hearing. So good, that I can
even hunt my food under the snow. When I hear it, I
leap into the air and stick my head in the snow to grab
it up. I'll admit, it's kind of cute. I like to eat rodents,
birds, and even fish! My favorite food is lemmings
though. Yummy! But in winter food is a little harder to
find, so I'll share with a polar bear or find some
veggies to munch on. After a long day, I go home to
my burrow.

Thanks for chatting, I'll be seeing you later!

This is a nonfiction reading page to get information from. Tape
or glue into your notebook after reading.

Page 4: All About the Arctic Fox

Cut out the elements. "What do I eat?" "Weather Adaptations"
and "Where do I live?" are intended to be flip-flaps, glue or tape
only the top square. The rest is adhered directly to the page.
Cut the two middle lines in "Weather Adaptions" so each
adaptation is its own flap. Write info underneath flaps.
