Even the skin of arctic foxes change its color depending on seasons triggered by the need of the creatures to blend with their environment. During the summer they are a brown color During the winter they can turn a lighter color depending on the subspecies. However, when the days become shorter, heat stimulates the shedding of the summer coat and the beginning of the winter coat.
The fur of most Living arctic foxes in the winter is white so they are camouflaged by the snow. However, there are some exceptions and those are the arctic foxes with blue color fur. These “blue foxes,” in particular, are charcoal blue all year round. In the winter, however, their coats remain the same color, but somewhat lighter shade of charcoal. They are known to inhabit regions where the coasts remain without snow and mainly on the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands.
