The arctic fox is one of nature’s most adaptable animal.  Everything about this animal enables it to survive nature’s harshest environments.  Their amount of fat, metabolism, even how their blood circulates all help the fox to survive in temperatures of – 60 Fahrenheit.  They know how to store food for those times when fresh food may be scarce–a refrigerated system to keep it well preserved.  The arctic fox differs from other foxes in that it is more squat and close to the ground in order to conserve heat.  In reading this book, what impresses you is how unique nature is to adapt to whatever it needs to in order to survive.  The arctic fox is a very clever animal, indeed.
