Arctic foxes are tough little creatures that can survive in temperatures as low as -50℃ (-58℉ ). Their thick fur, short legs, and round bodies help to keep them warm. They hunt lemmings, voles, fish, and eat berries, eggs, and seaweed. In winter when food is scarce arctic foxes will follow polar bears at a distance and scavenge on the leftover scraps from the bears’ kill. Although they are not considered endangered right now, the foxes’ fate is uncertain. As the temperature in the Arctic continues to rise at twice the rate of the rest of the world the foxes’ habitat continues to melt and disappear.
