The  Arctic fox  (Vulpes lagopus), also known as the  white fox,  polar fox, or  snow fox, is a small  fox  native to the  Arctic  regions of the  Northern Hemisphere  and common throughout the  Arctic tundra  biome.  It is well  adapted  to living in cold environments, and is best known for its thick, warm fur that is also used as camouflage. It has a large and very fluffy tail. In the wild, most individuals do not live past their first year but some exceptional ones survive up to 11 years.  Its body length ranges from 46 to 68  cm (18 to 27  in), with a generally rounded body shape to minimize the escape of  body heat. The Arctic fox preys on many small creatures such as  lemmings,  voles,  ringed seal  pups, fish,  waterfowl, and  seabirds. It also eats  carrion, berries, seaweed, and insects and other small invertebrates. Arctic foxes form  monogamous  pairs during the breeding season and they stay together to raise their young in complex underground dens. Occasionally, other family members may assist in raising their young. Natural predators of the Arctic fox are  golden eagles,  Arctic wolves,  polar bears,  wolverines,  red foxes, and  grizzly bears. Arctic foxes must endure a temperature difference of up to 90 “100   °C (160 “180   °F) between the external environment and their internal core temperature.  To prevent heat loss, the Arctic fox curls up tightly tucking its legs and head under its body and behind its furry tail. This position gives the fox the smallest surface area to volume ratio and protects the least insulated areas. Arctic foxes also stay warm by getting out of the wind and residing in their dens.  Although the Arctic foxes are active year-round and do not hibernate, they attempt to preserve fat by reducing their locomotor activity.  They build up their fat reserves in the autumn, sometimes increasing their body weight by more than 50%. This provides greater insulation during the winter and a source of energy when food is scarce. Collectible Wildlife Toys is the market leader in providing high quality, realistic toys of all types!
