Tüvirrakud

Tüvirrakud, also known as the Arctic fox, is a small, carnivorous mammal native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. They are well-adapted to the harsh Arctic climate, with a thick, white fur coat that provides excellent camouflage against the snow. Tüvirrakud have a stocky build, short legs, and a bushy tail that helps them maintain balance on icy surfaces. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of prey including lemmings, voles, and birds, as well as carrion and plant material.

The Arctic fox is known for its distinctive red or reddish-brown fur on its face, legs, and tail, which contrasts with its white fur. This coloration helps it to blend in with the snow and provides a warning signal to predators. Tüvirrakud are solitary animals, except during the breeding season, and they have a wide distribution across the Arctic tundra, taiga, and tundra forests. They are also found in some mountainous regions, such as the Himalayas and the Andes.

Tüvirrakud are an important species in the Arctic ecosystem, as they help to control populations of small rodents and other prey animals. They are also a popular subject for wildlife photography and conservation efforts, as their populations have declined in recent years due to habitat loss and climate change. Despite these challenges, tüvirrakud remain a fascinating and iconic symbol of the Arctic wilderness.
