Adorable Arctic Foxes
Manage episode 390532935 series 3379796
In this podcast from 2020, hosts Chris and Angie discuss the behavior, physiology, and natural history of the Arctic Fox. Chris is broadcasting from New Zealand, continuing their mission of engaging audiences with animal conservation and highlighting local heroes.
Angie provides a detailed account of the Arctic Fox's adaptations for surviving extreme temperatures, from their thick fur, ability to hoard food, and their monogamous mating system. The hosts also touch upon how the species mirrors the impacts of ongoing climate change. Particular attention is given to the foxes' acute senses, their comically long gestation period, the prolific number of offspring a female can produce, and their inclination toward more daring behavior leading to greater survival rates.
The discussion rounds off by emphasizing the importance of not supporting real fur farms and making eco-friendly choices.
