Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

The Arctic fox is a small, white-coated predator native to the Arctic regions of the Northern
Hemisphere. It is well-adapted to live in the cold environment, with thick fur, a rounded body shape
to minimize heat loss, and a keen sense of hearing to locate prey under the snow. The diet of the
Arctic fox includes small mammals, birds, and fish, but it is also known to scavenge from the kills oflarger predators such as polar bears.

Arctic foxes are solitary animals, except during the breeding season when they form monogamous
pairs. They make dens in the ground or snow and give birth to litters of up to 14 pups. These dens
provide shelter from the harsh weather and protection from predators. In the summer, the fur of the
Arctic fox changes to a brown or grey color to blend in with the tundra landscape.

Despite its adaptability, the Arctic fox faces several threats, including climate change, which is
reducing the extent of the sea ice it relies on, and competition with the red fox, which is moving
northward as temperatures rise. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this resilient yet vulnerable
species.
