Description
The Arctic fox has evolved to live in the most frigid extremes on the planet. Among its adaptations for cold survival are its deep, thick fur, the warmest fur of any mammal.
Its furry paws allow it to walk on ice floors in search of food, a system of countercurrent heat exchange in the circulation of paws to keep them from freezing. It is also able to walk on top of snow and listen for the movements of prey underneath.
Also it has a good supply of body fat. The fox has a low surface-area-to-volume ratio as evidenced by its generally rounded body shape, short muzzle and legs, and short, thick ears. Since less of its surface area is exposed to the cold, less heat escapes the body.
A born survivor it is very intelligent and often will follow Polar bears and wait to scavange off the left overs.. However it can fall prey to the bears, and needless to say humanity for its wonderful fur coat..

I've always enjoyed watching these foxes on tv, they are beautiful creatures. Besides having the 'adorable cute face', they are amazing by the harsh lives they must lead in the arctic. A lovely shot with the backlighting. He was looking right at you!
