About This Item
The Arctic Fox, also known as the white fox, polar fox, and snow fox, is one of the most common mammals found throughout the frigid landscapes of the Arctic. Remarkably, thanks to its multi-layered fur, this amazing creature can withstand temperatures as low as -70 ℃ without feeling cold! In history, the superior insulating power of the Arctic fox's thick coat led indigenous tribes to hunt them for their pelts. This over-hunting threatened the global Arctic fox population. However, with the diminishment of the fur trade, Arctic fox numbers have successfully rebounded. Today, the Arctic fox population is steadily increasing and is classified as of 'least concern' on the conservation status spectrum. This Safari Ltd. Arctic Fox Figurine, with its meticulous design and hand-painted detail, is perfect as a teaching aid, a unique piece of decor, or as a thoughtful gift for a nature enthusiast. And don't worry about turning up the heat; this Arctic fox is well equipped for cold temperatures with its insulating fur! Suitable for children aged 3 and above, this non-toxic, BPA-free Arctic Fox figurine, made from high-quality PVC, offers a safe and creative way for kids to learn about the fascinating world of Arctic wildlife. It is part of the broader Wild Safari® North American Wildlife collection from Safari Ltd., offering a wide range of animal figurines to ignite curiosity and creativity.
