__ARCTIC FOX__ In the winter, the fur of the arctic fox is white so they can hide against the snow and ice. In the summer the arctic fox's coat turns brownish-gray. They have fur on their paws to help them walk on the snow and ice to catch their prey. Polar Bears hunt the arctic fox.



__POLAR BEAR__ - Polar bears are white so they can blend into the snow and ice. Their fur is very thick and they have fur on their paws. Polar bears are predators that do not fear humans usually. Beware because even though they are cute they can be dangerous.



__SNOWY OWL__ - Owls have very good eye sight so they can spot their prey and swoop down quietly to catch it. The owl is very white because the feathers do not have pigment and this keeps the owl warmer. Like other arctic tundra animals, the snowy owl has fur on their feet to keep them warm. __ARTIC HARE__ - Arctic Hare's have white fur in the winter. Their ears have black tips. In the summer their coat color can be brownish or gray. The coat colors help to hide them from predators. When they feel danger, they stand up on their hind legs and can move much like a kangaroo.
