Also known as the white fox, polar fox, and snow fox, the Arctic fox
is one of the most common mammals found throughout the Arctic. Due to
its multilayered fur, this amazing creature doesn’t start to feel cold
until the temperature is as low as -70 ℃!
History: Because of the superior insulating power of their thick
coats, the pelts of Arctic foxes were historically used by indigenous
tribes for clothing. Because of this, the global Arctic fox population
number was threatened by over hunting. However, as the fur trade
diminished, Arctic fox numbers have successfully rebounded. Currently,
they are classified as least concern on the conversation status
spectrum, and their population is believed to be steadily increasing.
