ReplyDeleteCarlin,
DeleteYou have given me several examples of adaptations of the arctic fox. Are the adaptations you listed physical or behavioral?
Mrs. Ragland
These adaptations are physical adaptations.
DeleteCarlin, arctic foxes eat anything they can find. They are omnivores. They eat mostly left overs from other animals.
DeleteThat's so cool how the artic fox's fur changes color with the seasons!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what senses let the body know to change its color during the seasons?
ReplyDeleteDid you know arctic foxes follow polar bears to eat their leftovers? They also are the only member of the dog family to change colors.
ReplyDeleteBut madeline I thought Wolves change color too and they are also part of the dog family?
DeleteHow come arctic foxes don't hunt for food?
