Field Notes
Habitat:
"The arctic fox lives in some of the most frigid extremes on the planet. Among its adaptations for cold survival are its deep, thick fur, a system of counter-current heat exchange in the circulation of paws to retain core temperature, and 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."
Notes:
Arctic fox kits & their mother/father spotted at Shubenacadie Wildlife Park. :)
