The Arctic fox is a mammal that was discovered in 1872, when the Arctic was discovered.

It usually weighs between six and seventeen pounds . Its long bushy tail is usually twelve inches long. The rest of its body is typically a few inches shorter, or the same length, as its tail. Sometimes male Arctic foxes are longer and
The Arctic Fox, Alopex lagopus, is considered to be one of the first mammals to have colonized Sweden and Finland after the last Ice Age. Due to their thick fur, large fat reserves, specialized circulatory systems that help them retain heat, and their ability to lower their metabolic rate to endure periods of starvation make them the perfect candidate to live in the two coldest habitats in the world—the Arctic tundra and the frozen sea. These habitats are found in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland
The fox is a master trickster. His image is synonymous with cleverness and wit. The fox has enough skill and tact to easily outmaneuver any competitor who dare challenge him. A fox can rely on intellect, resourcefulness, or skill, but in the end, if he becomes overconfident or loses focus, he will undoubtedly fail. The fabled fox is an anthropomorphized fox prevalent throughout literature. He appears as early as 6th century BC in Aesop’s Fables as the very essence of the clever fox trope.1
particular that I have researched is the red fox or Vulpes vulpes as it is known in the scientific community. The animal is native to North America, Asia and Europe where they thrive in habitats ranging from temperate deserts to boreal forests, but its range spans the entire globe (Tesky 1995). The red fox is omnivorous which means that it feeds on animals and plants equally, which, creates impacts on both types of populations within its habitat. What makes the red fox invasive is its introduction to Australia
The Inupiat, like other Arctic peoples,are mainly hunter gathers. Only men are hunters among the Inupiat. What they hunt depends on where they are located. The Nunamiut, who live inland, hunt caribou, grizzly bears, moose, and dall sheep, while the Tareumiut , the coastal people, hunt walrus, seals, whales, and in rare instances polar bears; however both groups are dependant on geese, ducks, rabbits and berries. Traditionally hunters traveled in dog sleds or canoes from place to place and used spears
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a common meso-carnivore native to North America, Europe, Asia, and some parts of northern Africa. Being adaptable and plastic while having a generalist diet and habitat selection, the red fox is perfectly capable of surviving and reproducing in almost any environment. For the same reasons that it is widespread and pertinent in its native range, it can be extremely invasive and disruptive in areas that it is introduced to. It is especially invasive in the Oceania region
ability to restore itself. Controlled by sedge, heath, willow, moss, and lichen. Plains that are pretty much alike, called alpine tundra, occur above the timberline in the high mountains of the world. Even the Antarctic area has a couple of its own arctic regions itself. The climate of the tundra is characterized by harsh winters. The average temperature in the tundra area is about –27 degrees. But what is even worse are the long night. At nights the lowest temperture recorded was –67.36 degrees.
Polar bears (Ursusmaritimus) are classified as marine mammals because they spend most of their lives on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean. Polar bears are the only marine mammal with powerful, large limbs and feet, allowing them to cover miles on foot and run on land. Besides, they are quite huge in size. All of these make them stand at the top of food chain. Wiig, Ø. Aars, J

silver fox is a branch of Vulpes Vulpes and is the domesticated version of the more commonly known red fox. The full taxonomy is Anamalia Chordata Mammalia Carnivora Canidae Vulpes Vulpes. Vulpes Vulpes originated from the Canids, which all canines such as wolves, dogs, and coyotes diverted from (Baldwin 3). After the split from Canids the foxes split into six different genera; they are the Grey Fox (Urocyon), the Bat-Eared Fox (Otocyon), the Pampas and Sechura Fox (Pseudalopex), the Hoary Fox (Lycalopex)

It was this ignorance that led him to feel so disgusted with the natives that lived there because he did not understand their way
