Adaptations

The arctic fox has a beautiful white fur that is very useful for
camouflage as it allows it to blend in with snow and ice, but with
the passing of the seasons its fur changes to a brown or gray
tone that allows it to hide among plants and stones.
Threats
Due to its white fur, the fox was in danger of extinction but in
1928 its hunting was prohibited. the arctic fox is losing ground to
the red fox, which has been attributed to climate change: the
camouflage ability of their white fur diminishes with decreasing
snow cover. The natural predators of the arctic fox are the red
fox, golden eagles, wolverines, wolves, and grizzly bears.
Anatomy
It has hairy legs, short ears and a flat snout that serve it for cold
weather, the organism of the arctic fox allows it to survive in
extreme ecosystems such as the North Pole, with its thick skin
and dense fur it conserves heat and isolates the cold weather
from the outside . The arctic fox has evolved to withstand
extreme weather conditions that can withstand temperatures of
-50º C.
Food and housing
This mammal feeds on rodents, seal pups, insects, fish or
waterfowl, living in burrows or tunnels that they dig in the snow
in which they take refuge from snow storms.

and lives in the different countries that surround the Arctic Pole:
Canada, Alaska, Russia, Nordic countries, etc. Choose to settle in
areas where the snow is not excessively deep.
Fun facts

arctic fox's tail serves as a warm blanket when it's cold.
