Lastly, if you have not done so already, be sure to check out our Twitter Feed! Happy Holidays! Blue Fang Games  Animal of the Month: Arctic Fox NAMES: Arctic Fox, Snow Fox, or White Fox (Alopex lagopus or Vulpes lagopus) HABITAT: Arctic Foxes reside in the arctic tundra of the Northern Hemisphere. DIET: Arctic Foxes are omnivores (they eat plants and animals) but feed mostly on lemmings, hares, eggs, and other available meats. APPEARANCE: In the winter arctic foxes are as white as the snowy lands where they reside. This provides them with excellent camouflage from predators and allows them to stealthily hunt prey. As the snow melts and the summer arrives, their coat changes to a brownish gray to blend into the rocks and plants of the tundra. ADAPTATIONS: Arctic foxes are equipped with a number of adaptations to help them survive temperatures well below freezing. Their paws are covered from top to bottom with thick fur to protect them from losing body heat when roaming the tundra in the cold winter months. Also, their bodies are designed with efficiency in mind. Their round torso, thick fur, and short muzzle combine to create a body that is well equipped to deal with the frigid temperatures of the arctic. MORE FUN FACTS:
 The Coldest Zoo in America The Alaska Zoo is without a doubt the coldest zoo in the United States of America with an average outside temperature of about 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Home to over 100 birds and mammals encompassing 40 different species, the Anchorage-based zoo faces some unique challenges when dealing with the cold and promoting their attractions. The primary goal of The Alaska Zoo is to display the naturally occurring wildlife that the state of Alaska has to offer. That said there are a few exceptions to this general rule including an African Elephant named Maggie and a recently added baby Yak! As unique as the state that houses it, The Alaska Zoo has a truly one-of-a-kind history that is best told by those who know it first hand. Here is the story according to the Zoo’s homepage: For more info about this truly amazing zoo be sure to check out The Alaska Zoo Homepage Also be sure to take a look at some of these links from The Alaska Zoo's site:
