The Arctic Fox is a carnivore that lives away from the coast. They usually eat omnivores. The Arctic Fox relies on smaller animals to survive. They usually hunt for marine life, like fish or sea birds..etc. There are several hundred thousand in its population. They have the scientific name “Vulpes Lagopus”. The Arctic Fox weighs about 3 to 20 pounds and are around 18 to 27 inches long. They are also about 11 inches in height.
They are not very big, but they are a good size. The Arctic Fox lives in the Tundra area, which is one of the coldest biomes. Honestly the Arctic Fox is people’s least concern of extinction right now. But they should still not be threatened or harmed. People hunt the Arctic Fox because of its high quality fur. They are

The Arctic Fox can live up to 3 to 6 years. The Arctic Fox can live in extremely cold weather. The Arctic Fox usually lives in burrows, or they would dig holes, or tunnels in the snow. But that is mainly only when blizzards come. The Arctic Fox has pretty white (and sometimes it is gray) fur. They use it to camouflage in the snow. Their fur is actually pretty cool, because it changes colors when the season changes. It is either brown or gray. The color of the fur helps for when the Fox hunts its prey. The Arctic Fox can eat vegetables also. The Arctic Fox has a big bushy tail, and it helps keep the fox warm in the winter. Apparently The Arctic Fox likes to steal goose eggs from their nests. And the shed their fur in the summer. Arctic Foxes have a strong nose. They can smell seal lairs miles and miles …show more content…
Oh and in the Siberian region. The Arctic Fox is a “Prohibited new organism” in New Zealand of course. Arctic Foxes really don’t hibernate at all. They don’t need to, they hunt all winter and basically whenever they want or can. The Arctic Fox is genuine animals and hunters. They are good at their jobs and they don’t give up when it comes to food. They pounce at them when they are ready to kill. And then they bring it back to their family. Unless they do not have one and then they eat it themselves. The Arctic Fox is literally so so cute and adorable. They would not really make a good house pet though, mainly because they do belong in the Arctic and in cold regions. But they would be fun to play with. I one day would like to own a fox itself. Probably a Red Fox. Apparently their paw pads keep them warm and toasty during harsh winters. Back to the reproduction and life style for these genuine foxes. The male fox would always be the one to step up and bring the food for the family and guard their home, or den. Whatever they live in the male protects. The female’s job is like the average human female job. They stay home, give
Unlike the maned wolf and coyote, Darwin’s fox lives in the temperate forests, especially near Chile, or any other place in South America. Some species live on Nahuelbuta National Park or in Chiloe Island. Alike the coyote and maned wolf, Darwin’s fox is omnivorous and a secondary consumer. It eats mammals, invertebrates, reptiles and birds as well as fruits. Because of it’s small size, Darwin’s fox is easier to get caught by predators such as wild and domesticated dogs as well as pumas.
The population has changed because the San Joaquin kit foxes habitat are being destroyed by humans. Humans are building farms, orchards, and cities where the kit foxes are living. This started in the year 1930. Oil and gas development has been a continuous native habitat loss on the San Joaquin kit fox. The San Joaquin kit fox then does not have a home to live when during the winter and in that case their population declines.
The Arctic region is home to a variety of valuable animals and plants, including polar bear, seal, and so on. The ecosystem of the Arctic region is fragile because these animals are evolved to live in extreme conditions. With the climate change, many animals are endangered. Ice is the habitat of polar animals because they have to rely on sea ices for resting, food, and reproduction. With the climate change and the decrease of sea ice, the number of polar animals is decreasing and their health is threatened. For example, the average weight of female polar bears in 1980 was about 650 pounds, but the number reduced to about 500 pounds in 2004 (Djoghlaf 15). The earlier breakup and later condensation of sea ice shortens the hunting season of polar bears. Polar bears mainly feed on seals that indwell icy land. The melting ice reduces the number of seals and food intake of polar bears. In addition, polar bears are used to living in ice caves. The rising temperature causes the collapse of ice caves, which can kill baby bears. The climate change is negatively affecting the biodiversity in the region and will definitely harm the ecosystem
They survive in some of the coldest places on earth, they have a number of anatomical, behavioural and physiological adaptations that allow them to do this successfully. Arctic wolves live for around 7 to 10 years in the wild.
The habitat of the Arctic wolf is a very harsh place. The temperature must be below zero degrees. There are tundra, rolling hills, glacier valleys, ice fields, shallow lakes, and green flatlands (Arctic/Antarctic: The Arctic Wolf). These snowy white creators don’t have that many places to live. Arctic wolves used to be everywhere in North America, but sadly now they are reduced to Canada, Alaska, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin, and Wyoming (Arctic/Antarctic: The Arctic Wolf). Arctic wolves are one of the most dangerous types of wolves; people need to find a way to save them and their habitat before they disappear forever.
This report is all about the gray wolf. Its scientific name is Canis Lupis. Canis is the Latin word for dog. The genus also includes jackals and coyotes. Lupis is the Latin word for wolf. Gray wolves look similar to German shepherds, but the wolf has longer legs and bigger feet. The color of a gray wolf can range from black to white, but shades of gray are the most common. A unique feature about gray wolves is that the farther north you find them, the larger they are. Males can range from (nose-to-tail) five to six and a half feet and females range from four and a half to six feet. The normal life span of a wolf is about thirteen years, but most wolves don’t live past ten years for numerous reasons. Examples include disease, hunters, etc. The wolves that live in Arctic climates have very thick coats of fur that keeps them warm. Wolves, like all canines, have 42 teeth. Their “fangs”, or canine teeth, are used to grab prey and like a hook. These teeth can be as long as two and a half inches.
Wolverines are about the size of a medium dog ranging anywhere from 26-42 inches and weighing about 20-55 pounds with some males growing up to 71 pounds. Males are known to be about 30% larger than females. They are a brownish black color and have hydrophobic fur making it resistant to frost. Having hydrophobic fur makes the wolverine v...
It allows them to live long because they have two different genes in them and it also allows them to survive anywhere in the world because their fur is mixed. They have brown fur that allows them to be on land for a long amount of time and they have white fur which allows them to live in the snow and let them stay in freezing water for a long amount of time.
The Canadian wilderness is filled with many beautiful and magnificent creatures; however, the Arctic fox stands out to be one of the most amazing. This gorgeous Canidae is native to the arctic extremes of the northern hemisphere, and can withstand temperatures as low as -58 degrees Fahrenheit before their metabolism kick in. This is all thanks to their thick, white, beautiful coat of fur, that is indeed one of the greatest in the animal world. It doesn’t always remain snow white however; for its coats ability to camouflage changes from season to season, growing brownish-black in the summer, and again, stark white in the winter. Their diet consists of really any small animal they can find; ranging from lemmings, to birds, to carrion. In the
The winter will last 8 to 10 months followed by the short and much less cold summer. During the summer some lower areas of the Tundra will defrost at which point most of the flora and fauna will start to creep out of hiding. The few summer months are used by many animals such as the polar bear, to mate and to prepare for the once again oncoming winter. During the winter months, most everything remains frozen. Many of the animals migrate south for the winter whereas some stay behind or even group together for ritual group suicide (lemmings).
Arctic Wolves live in the Canadian Arctic, and northern parts of Greenland. Timber Wolves live in mountains, temperate forests, and Grasslands. Timber Wolves are the largest wolves in the canine family. They weigh 75- 125 lbs, and some males grow up to be 175 lbs, but this isn’t often. Arctic wolves are smaller than timber wolves by 3-6 feet. They are bulkier than timber wolves, and are usually over 100 lbs. Male Arctic Wolves are more often to be 175 lbs than Timber Wolves. Arctic wolves also have smaller ears, which helps maintain body heat. Timber Wolves live six through eight years, and are in packs of two
Foxes are lovely, calm, quiet creatures that always run as soon as they see humans, so this must show that they are definitely more frightened of us than we are of them. During a hunt the poor foxes are chased out of their homes even when they are only cubs and sometimes their parents and family are killed. This must be a horrible experience for them. Animals have their own rights and feelings as well as humans. We do not kill humans if they kill or eat a farmer's chicken or lambs so why should it be different for foxes.
The author states in “Native American Totem Animals & Their Meanings”, the fox is “ quick-witted.” Some people might agree after seeing my grades throughout the years and the goals I’ve accomplished. According to the text “Animal Symbols”, the fox “symbolizes anticipation, observation, and stealth.” I find those skills whenever I'm trying to avoid being involved in trouble, or the opposite (rarely). Observing others helps me understand people and the reasons for their actions. I also chose the owl because it stands for “insight,... mystery, freedom, and secrets”, as stated by the author in “Native American Totem Animals & Their Meanings”. It is also a symbol of “wisdom”, according to the text “Northwest Symbols”. Many of my peers would find me somehow mysterious because I rarely open up and talk about myself. Because I am like this, people are not afraid to tell me their secrets. My so-called wisdom is from me reading an enormous amount of books in my
One huge impact of global warming is the change in animals’ habitats. When the earth’s temperature is increasing, it creates the change of weather conditions in a certain area, which causes some kinds of animals in this area to live with many difficulties, or sometimes those kinds of animals are forced to move to new region when they cannot handle the difficulties. The arctic fox is an example for this situation. According to the article “How Does Global Warming Affect Wildlife,” arctic foxes prefer to live in the cooler environment while their habitat is getting warmer and warmer due to global warming, so arctic foxes have to leave their own home to seek a more suitable area (National W...
The polar bear has a long, narrower head and nose, and small ears. The polar bear has coat that appears white but, each individual hair is actually a clear and hollow. This helps the polar bear keep warm. The polar bear's coat helps it blend in with its snowy surroundings, this adaptation helps the Polar Bear hide while hunting. The polar bear's front legs are slightly pigeon-toed, and fur covers the bottoms of its paws. These adaptations help the polar bear keep them from slipping on ice.
