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

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 Fox

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 Fox
