This map shows the distribution and movement of the Arctic fox (vulpes Lagopus). Arctic Foxes, also known as white, polar, or snow foxes, boast a distinctive snow-white coat for effective camouflage in the arctic tundra, providing insulation against temperatures as low as -51°C (-60°F). Their rounded body shape aids in heat retention.
