They can survive temperatures as low as -58 degrees Fahrenheit. They have fuzzy soles, short ears and a short muzzle. Arctic Foxes make their homes in burrows and during blizzards they may tunnel into snow. They can weigh from 6.5lbs(2.9kg) to 17lbs(7.7kg).

Arctic foxes have body fat in the winter to keep them warm. Their diet consists of anything small or anything it can find, including lemmings, voles, hares, owls, eggs, carrion, etc. If prey is scarce they may hunt polar bears or forage for vegetables.
