The Arctic Fox or Vulpes Lagopus is a very beautiful and majestic animal with many interesting features. This animal can survive extremely freezing arctic temperatures that can drop as low as -50°F. The Arctic fox is a very resistant animal. It has furry soles, short ears and a short muzzle, which are the essential elements that animals need to adapt to the cold climate. These foxes usually live in dens and in emergency situations such as snowstorms, strong winds or animal conflicts, they can dig tunnels in the snow and create a shelter for them. They have a beautiful white coat that protects them from the elements. Amusingly, when the season changes, the fox changes the color of its coat making it a unique animal. In winter their coat is white while in summer it turns red-orange. This is mainly because it helps them blend in with their surroundings. These dyes help foxes effectively hunt rodents, birds, fish and even polar bear cubs. But in winter prey can be scarce on the ground. At these times, these animals eat the leftovers of the polar bear kill. These foxes will also eat the berries when they become available. Its coat is known for its strange adaptive qualities, it is a rarity in today's science and therefore is highly studied. Not only does he have thick fur that helps him camouflage himself and protects him from the cold, but he also has the ability to run extremely fast. It is known to be one of the fastest animals in the Arctic region. Unfortunately, in addition to being such a majestic and scientific creature, it has been endangered by various factors. Numerous scientists have carried out research on the Arctic fox, to learn more about the creature's habits and unusual and unique adaptation... middle of paper... the essence of the situation is that you can spread awareness about that particular ecosystem or body. You could also participate in “Adopt an Arctic Fox”, a program established by the WWF not only for the Arctic fox, but also for other endangered animals. You pay to adopt the animal for a certain period of time, and the money is used to save the animal through protests, petitions, treaties, and even scientific research. Finally, one of the most contributory and beneficial factors to this cause; the “Take Action” program. Take action is part of a section of the WWF known as the “Wildlife Action Center”. This is where petitions and treaties are sent and enforced to and by government officials. Every year more and more people become interested in the cause and its effects. The time has come to take action and take a stand for species that cannot do it alone.
