white foxes

Snowy northern predators

White foxes are arctic foxes, small canids native to northern polar regions whose coats turn white in winter for camouflage against snow.

The term may also refer to arctic foxes bred for the fur trade, valued for their pure white pelts: White fox fur was once highly prized for winter coats.
