Photo by @daisygilardini Arctic foxes are very well adapted to survive extremely cold environments. Their white winter coat is the perfect camouflage. Their short ears, short nose, and furry soles have also been adapted to cope with such an extreme environment. In spring, their colour changes to brown/grey, to adapt to the colour palette of their new environment. During my spring expedition to Svalbard, we had a close encounter with this beautiful fox just as she was starting to shed her winter coat... a very itchy and annoying business. #fox #arcticfox #polar #Svalbard #wildlifephotography #conservation #climatechange #climatechangeisreal
