Arctic Fox

Behavioural Adaptation:
In horrible winter conditions, arctic foxes dig a hole in the snow to protect
themself from cold weather or wind, they also curl up their body and shape it like a
ball to reduce surface ratio in order to keep themself warm.

Physiological Adaptation:
In order to survive cold long winter, the arctic fox has adapted to hunting
down food during the summer and autumn. Moreover, they store fat inside their
body ignorer to help them stay warm during the winter. When winter hit, they will
not move as much and only search for food when necessary.

Structural Adaptation:
They have short and small ears, short legs, compacted body, short muzzle
and fluffy fur to conserve heat and keep them warm in cold environments. Their
furs are so thick and they are located everywhere on their body, such as the paw,
this makes arctic fox has the ability to walk on snow and ice.

Redesign:
Arctic foxes have such nice white fur, it is perfect for snow environments
where they can hide in the snow in order to get away from predators. That is not
the case for the environment in the snowless area, arctic foxes’ skin is easily
spotted by predators such as brown bears, wolves, golden eagles etc… I would
redesign the Arctic fox to have adaptable fur colour. That means their furs will
change colour depending on the environment they are in. For example would be if
they are on high hills, they should be grey, therefore, predators won’t be able to
spot arctic foxes easily.
