30. Snowy white Arctic foxes live directly in the open ice and snow.
This cute and cuddly animal is one of the most adaptable creatures in the Arctic. Also known as a polar fox, the arctic fox is found throughout the Arctic regions in the Northern Hemisphere. It can survive in temperatures as low as -58 degrees Fahrenheit. Their round body, short muzzle, and small ears reduce body surface area and, consequently, exposure to extreme cold.
This fox has furry paws and a keen sense of hearing, which helps it easily walk on the snow and hunt for prey. Their white fur also makes it very difficult to be spotted, both by prey and other predators in the ice and snow. When winter turns into spring, and the ice melts a little, the fur also changes to a more brown or gray color in summer to blend in with their surroundings.
