2004 Arctic Fox Proof Set of 4 Silver Coins .9999 Fine (1oz - 1/10oz)

With a compact body and an abundance of fur on its ears and paws, the arctic fox (Alopex Lagopus) is perfectly equipped for life in the higher latitudes of North America. In fact, no other canid species lives as far north. Lemmings are its primary food source, but this clever fox also knows it will likely find leftovers from a polar bear's seal kill if it ventures onto the sea ice. In such a harsh environment where food is scarce, scavenging is a key survival skill! As an opportunist, the arctic fox is very curious and will rarely run when it spots humans. It usually approaches to have a closer look!
