Description
35 mm slide; color. Scientific Classification: Kingdom: Animalia; Phylum: Chordata; Class: Mammalia; Order: Carnivora; Family: Canidae; Genus: Alopex; Genus species: Alopex lagopus. Animal characteristics: Head-Body Length: 50-60 cm; Height: 28 cm; Weight: 2.5-5 kg; Identification: The Arctic fox has a white or blue winter coat and a dingy brown coat in the summer. They have rounded ears, black eyes, and a short black nose; Habitat: Tundra; Diet: Omnivore: mammals, birds, eggs, carrion, berries; Reproduction: Arctic foxes are monogamous breeders and mate in May, with litters of 5-6 pups being born 5-6 weeks later. Both parents help care for their young.
