Tuesday’s Quiz -What unique feature allows arctic foxes to survive extreme cold temperatures?
Answer: A) Their fur changes color to match the seasons, providing both camouflage and insulation.

Arctic foxes have an incredible fur adaptation—in the winter, their fur turns pure white to blend in with the snow while also providing exceptional insulation. In the summer, it changes to brown or gray, helping them stay hidden in tundra landscapes. Their thick fur even covers their paws, acting like built-in snow boots!
