Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus), also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox, is a small fox native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere and known for its thick, warm fur that helps it to survive in cold climates. It's well-adapted to living in extreme cold environments. 

The Arctic Fox's fur changes color with the seasons: it sports a white coat during winter to blend into the snow, and a brown or grey coat in summer months to match the tundra's rock and plants.
