Question

Some arctic species like the arctic fox (pictured above) grow white fur only in winter. In summer, it is a brown color. What explanation best describes why animals like the arctic fox have this seasonal response in order to survive

Answer 1

Many animals, like the arctic fox, adapt to their surroundings. When there is snow, the arctic fox have white fur to blend in to their white environment--this helps them catch their prey and also avoid predators. The same thing happens in the summer, when they have brown fur.
