It appears a little uneasy about the scenery around it. Of course, the fox has home advantage, as conditions on Svalbard are often bitterly cold. And, while Robert is shivering despite his thick down jacket, the fox is perfectly warm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is because the Arctic fox is perfectly suited to its surroundings. In truth, the Arctic fox is hardly comparable to the common fox we know from our forests at home. They live across the Arctic, including in Norway, on Svalbard, in Alaska and in northern Canada. \u201cThe Arctic fox changes its coat every year,\u201d explains Robert. \u201cIn summer, as you can see in the photo, its coat is gray. In winter, the Arctic fox becomes a wonderful cuddly white.\u201d And of course, with its white coat, the fox can conceal itself perfectly in the snow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yet, this coat has another special feature: it is the warmest coat in the animal kingdom. \u201cArctic foxes can withstand temperatures as low as -50\u00b0C (-58\u00b0F) before they actually start to feel the cold,\u201d says Robert. They can survive even colder: \u201cIn total, they can survive in temperatures as low as -70\u00b0C (-94\u00b0C). Such temperatures are not uncommon in the Arctic. As a result, the body structure of the Arctic fox has also evolved to withstand these icy conditions.\u201d In fact, the Arctic fox is only as large as a domestic cat, has short legs and a squat face to reduce the area exposed to the wind and prevent it from losing body heat\u202f.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, why this fox is looking down the lens with such suspicion remains a mystery. Maybe he knows something we don\u2019t \u2013 foxes are considered cunning, after all. In any case, the Arctic fox is a \u201cvery cool and special animal\u201d, says Robert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Marc Lehmann is a marine biologist, research diver and prize-winning nature photographer.
