The map in the article is grossly inaccurate at least in the European part, distribution of the Arctic Fox is strictly restricted on the tundra and near tundra. In other habitats the red fox is the only fox. Dreg743 06:07, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
what do the actic foxes eat, how do they get their food? what is their habitat, climate, and a destribution of where it lives?
- From the article:
- Arctic foxes eat a wide variety of things, including lemmings, birds and their eggs, carrion, and plants. The most important of these foods is the lemming. A family of foxes can eat dozens of lemmings each day. When their normal prey is scarce, Arctic foxes have been known to scavenge the leftovers of larger predators, such as polar bears, even though polar bears' prey includes the Arctic fox itself.
-
- Arctic foxes have a circumpolar range, meaning that they are found throughout the entire Arctic, including Russia, Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Svalbard, as well as in sub-Arctic areas, such as Iceland and parts of Norway. Dsmdgold 00:46, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Photos of arctic foxes
Two of the photos in the article about the arctic fox is on farmed arctic foxes. It is OK if this is spelled out. But it would be better to include pictures on wild arctic foxes. The summer fox from Svalbard is nice and I would like to see two pictures on winter foxes, one white and one blue.
