Arctic Fox Silver Fractional Proof Coin Set (2004)

Description

The Arctic Fox (Alopex lagopus), also known as the white fox, is found throughout the arctic circumpolar lands of the northern hemisphere. With its compact body form, well-furred ears, and thick hair on the soles of its feet, it is very well adapted to the arctic environment.  The white fox feeds mostly on lemmings. It also scavenges wolf kills and ventures onto the sea ice to pick up the remains of seals left behind by polar bears. It is normally a solitary animal, except during the mating seas
