Arctic Fox in Iceland

The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) is well adapted to living in cold environments. It has a deep thick fur which is brown in summer and white in winter and has a generally rounded body shape to minimize the escape of body heat. The Arctic fox preys on any small creatures such as lemmings, ringed seal pups, fish, waterfowl, and seabirds. It also eats carrion, berries, seaweed, insects, and other small invertebrates. Arctic foxes form monogamous pairs during the breeding season and they stay together
