Safari Ltd. Arctic Fox

Also known as the white fox, polar fox, and snow fox, the Arctic fox is one of the most common mammals found throughout the Arctic. Due to its multilayered fur, this amazing creature doesn’t start to feel cold until the temperature is as low as -70 ℃! History: Because of the superior insulating power of their thick coats, the pelts of Arctic foxes were historically used by indigenous tribes for clothing. Because of this, the global Arctic fox population number was threatened by over hunting. However, as the fur trade diminished, Arctic fox numbers have successfully rebounded. Currently, they are classified as least concern on the conversation status spectrum, and their population is believed to be steadily increasing. Scientific Name: Vulpes lagopus Characteristics: Hand painted and meticulously crafted by experts with the utmost attention to detail, our Arctic fox toy figurine is wonderful as a teaching aid, cute piece of décor for your home or work desk, or as a gift for a nature enthusiast. Although the Arctic fox is used to living in some seriously frigid temperatures, don’t turn the heat up on its account – its insulated fur might cause it to overheat!
