The Arctic fox is a small mammal that is a member of the canidae (dog) family. Its habitat ranges from the tundra and coastal areas of Alaska up through northern Canada and around the Arctic Circle. The fox is also found in northern areas of Russia, Sweden, Finland and NorwayAlaska Department of Fish and Game: Arctic Fox Canid Specialist Group: Artic Fox Environmental Directorates in Norway: Arctic Fox
Color Variations
The species has two color variations, white and blue. The white fox's fur changes from white in the winter months to a light brown color during the summer. The coat of the blue fox is chocolate brown during the summer, changing to a lighter brown that appears to have a blue sheen in the winter. In most regions the blue fox comprises only about 1% of the population, although there are some localized regions where it makes up the majority of the Arctic fox presence.Canid Specialist Group: Arctic FoxReproduction
The Arctic fox mates between the months of February and May. After a gestation period of approximately 52 days the mother will give birth to a litter of 6 to 19 pups.Blue Planet Biomes: Arctic FoxSubspecies
