white fox

Tundra-dwelling predator

White fox is another name for the Arctic fox, a small fox native to polar regions whose coat turns white in winter for camouflage against snow.

The term appears in fur trade contexts, where white fox pelts have long been prized: a white fox stole.

Sometimes used loosely for any fox with white coloring.
