Food

The arctic fox is too small to kill many arctic animals. That is why the arctic fox follows the polar bear and eats what is left after the polar bear eats. Sometimes the arctic fox steals food from the polar bear.

The arctic fox parents catch 100 lemmings a day to keep themselves and their cubs alive. Arctic foxes use their strong sense of hearing and smell to find their prey under the snow.

Arctic foxes are carnivores. Arctic foxes eat bird eggs, fish, lemmings and arctic hare. Arctic foxes eat grasses and berries sometimes.

Arctic fox fur colors help them sneak up on and eat rodents and other small animals.
