Foxes
Two species of fox are common on the Seward Peninsula. Arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) resemble a small, gray-brown dog in summer, but turn pure white in winter. Unlike most other foxes, their ears are rounded on the tips - an adaptation to the extreme cold that they must endure in winter. Arctic foxes are more common in coastal areas, especially on the northern Seward Peninsula.
Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and the several color variants of this species are found throughout th ...

WHAT DO FOXES LOOK LIKE? Foxes are in the same family as dogs, coyotes, and wolves (Canidae). They do not bark like dogs (unless they need to give a warning). They do howl and whine.
