Arctic Fox (Alopex lagopus) also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox, is a small fox that belongs to the family of Canidae, native to the treeless coastal areas of Alaska from the Aleutian Islands north to Point Barrow and east to the Canada border. The arctic fox is dark gray to brown to bluish-brown in the summer. In the winter, its fur is white or creamy white. It has a long bushy tail, a short nose, and small curled back ears. It has short, stubby legs and thick fur. Its short legs and nose, thick fur, and small ears are adaptations that help it survive in cold climates. Because its legs are so short and its ears and nose are small, there is less of the fox exposed to the cold.

The arctic fox mates between February and June. The female builds a new den and gives birth to 6-12 dark furred kits. Both the female and the male take care of the young kits. The male guards the den and brings food to the den for the mother and the kits. The kits are weaned when they are between two to four weeks old.
