Photo of the Day - Arctic Fox

Arctic foxes are considered as endangered in mainland Scandinavia, but are doing strong on Europe's northernmost archipelago. Being entirely white in the winter and brown during the summers, their camouflage is good enough to sneak attack on adult birds, such as auks, guillemots and geese. They are beautiful animals, always except during the moulding season, which is happens in June. Summer offers fox days for the foxes. Newly hatched bird chicks and eggs are so plentiful, that it's no need to sneak on adult birds. Killed chicks and found eggs are stored between rocks for later use in the winter. Busy, sneaky foxes are almost everyday sights on bird colonies.
