Another Arctic Fox :)

Information about arctic foxes:

Latin name Alopex lagopus. As far as I know, they only live in the tundra. They're gray in the summer, white in the winter. They eat leftovers of dead animals killed by wolves, minks, wolverines etc, and small rodents. The arctic fox was almost hunted to extinction (for its fur) in the late 1800's, when it still lived in the southern parts of Scandinavia. Today it is protected by law.

Thanks to ~acornpirate for this information!!! :)

Til de grader fotogene skapninger disse revene! :)
Klarer ikke helt å bestemme meg hvilken jeg liker best. Denne eller den forige? Denne viser litt bedre hvordan den ser ut (ser mer av bena og slikt...), men det er jo umulig å slå ansiktsuttrykket til den forrige! :D

Tusen takk! :) Ja de er noen utrolig nydelige dyr... jeg må nok tilbake til Langedrag og følge med på disse dyra... forelska meg nok litt. ;)
Jeg synes de er søte alle sammen! :love:

Don't let your mind wander. It's much too small to be out on it's own.

thanks Per :)
Well... I know the focus isn't too good... :( It was raining, a bit dark and I had to take the pics through the holes in the fence... and lots of people leaned on the fence and it was hard keeping the camera still...

well, you want more excuses??? :D hehe... thanks for the comment anyway! :hug:
