Arctic Fox: Perfectly Adapted to Frigid Environment, But What's Next?
Offbeat  (tags: animals, environment, protection, wildlife )

Thick fur allows the Arctic fox to survive in temperatures well below zero, but climate change could make one of the animal's food sources harder to come by.

For decades we've watched southern species creeping their range north in response to climate change. What of these poor critters that can go no further north? An age of mass extinction may be soon upon us.

These animals are heart breakingly beautiful and to think of them becoming slowly extinct is even more heart breaking.
