We are releasing this older podcast again on the Arctic Fox. Backing up the newest episode, Lemmings, Arctic Foxes are another critical species in the Arctic ecosystem equation. Both species play such vital roles in keeping our ecosystems healthy.
From this episode in 2021, we continue our winter (summer in Southern Hemisphere) we celebrate with a true survivor. The Arctic Fox is one of the most adaptable small mammals on our planet. Surviving in the harsh extremes of the Arctic, these special canids are built to survive. From their physiology to behavior, the Arctic Fox is a pure joy to learn about.
Stay tuned as new species and interviews are on there way!
