The Arctic fox will "change greatly" when changing its hair, and it will become a bald uncle who was originally dressed in white and snow, which is very joyful.
The Arctic fox, also known as the snow fox or white fox, is a small canine common in the cold Arctic tundra region and has become a target for hunting because its fur is a high-end commodity in the market.
The Arctic fox has a narrow forehead, a pointed snout, short and round ears, hairs grow at the back of the cheeks, and dense hairs on the bottom of the feet, so it is suitable for walking on ice and snow, the tail hair is fluffy, the tip is white, and the body is slightly smaller than the red fox. Arctic fox fur is long, soft and thick, and the thick fur keeps the Arctic fox's body temperature at 40°C, so it can withstand the cold.
In winter, the Arctic fox has a pure snow-white coat color, only the hairless nose tip and tail end are black, and gradually changes to bluish gray from spring to summer, especially called "green fox".
The color of hair change in summer is mainly related to the color of fetal hair at birth, and the juvenile fetal hair born after selection and breeding of some domesticated arctic foxes is white, and the color of summer hair change will also be white. The male arctic fox is about 55 cm long, tail length 31 cm and weighs 3.8 kg; females 53 cm, 30 cm and 3.1 kg. The shoulder height is between 25-30 cm.
Arctic foxes eat lemmings, fish, birds and eggs, berries and arctic hares, and sometimes roam the coast to catch shellfish, but the staple diet of arctic foxes is lemmings. When the arctic fox smells the lemming's nest or hears the screams of lemmings in the lemming's den, it will quickly dig the lemming's nest located under the snow, and when it is almost picked, the arctic fox will jump high, with the power of the jump, crush the lemming's nest with its legs, and then destroy the lemmings in the nest. In conditions of extreme hunger, arctic foxes attack each other.
After the adult arctic fox mates, it will form a family, and the male arctic fox will find food, and when the arctic fox is attacked by a hungry polar bear, the family that has lost the male fox will find another place to live or join other arctic foxes, and many juvenile arctic foxes often freeze to death at this time.
