Arctic Fox by Abby

R: Oh my bad!
F: Hey watch it! You’re blowing my cover!
R: From what?
F: My camouflage. I blend in with my surroundings. You see, my white fur helps me camouflage with the snow around me.
R: Oh well.. Can I ask you a few questions?
F: Wait..I see what your doing, your trying to grab my prey!
R: No! Wait don’t run away, especially with my water bottle!
F: Sorry, you scared away my prey and it is very hard to find any really.
R: Oh really, I thought that it was really easy.
F: Well you’re not a Arctic Fox. Most of the time I get the scraps when a Polar Bear didn’t eat it all.
R: You’re an Arctic Fox!
F: Yeah, I just told you that..anyways what are your questions?
R: Well I am a reporter.
F: Ok, now ask any questions.
R: Ok, where do you live?
F: In the Tundra, you’re in the tundra, too.
R: Oh yeah, I didn’t notice.
F: mhmhmhm….
R:Well what is your scientific name?
F: It is Vulpes lagopus.
R:Wow!That's cool!
F:Just like how I am!
R:Uhhh..I don’t think so
F:Oh..how rude!
R: Anyways.. Oh I see your small pointy ears.
F: Oh yeah, my small pointy ears help me by hearing my prey underground. So then I’m ready to snatch it!
R: I heard Arctic Foxes have a excellent hearing and smelling.
F: Yeah that sounds right, it helps me hear animals from far away and it helps me smell animals from far away.
R:How far are we talking about?
F: Umm.. a few miles.
R:Well how old can you live?
F: I can live up to 3 yrs and 6 yrs, thats an average life span in the wild.
R: So how old are you?
F: I am 4.5. I will be 5 in May
R: Ok, well what do you eat?
F: I eat rodents for breakfast, and I eat birds for lunch, and for dinner I eat fish. Fish is the BEST!
R: Wow! Well how do you take care of your young.
F: My husband and me both take care of our young. My hsband guards our den while I get food for them. I give birth each spring to a large litter up to 14 pups.
R: Well thats all of the questions I have for you.
