Frost Fox Research Paper
It’s a normal day for the Frost fox; the grey colored animal is asleep in its den twenty feet underground. Currently, it is below freezing and the fox is trying to get some well deserved rest. As the fox slowly opens its dark brown, almost black, eyes and wags it’s long extremely fluffy tail, the fox was waking up. The wind whistled outside as the fox ever so slowly crawled from its den.

The original Fennec Fox’s kidneys could go up to three days without water or hold water for up to three days. Now, the kidneys can preserve water for up to six days. That is only three days more but three days can make a huge difference in a frozen desert. Of course the fox to become larger to catch larger prey so the bones inside the fox grew much larger than they originally were. The fox, before adapting, was only two to three pounds and only sixteen to nineteen inches long. Now, the fox is fifteen to twenty pounds and is about thirty to forty inches long, not including the tail of course. Finally, one of the last changes was the brain. The Frost Fox is far more intelligent than the Fennec Fox. The average Frost Fox is about as intelligent as both a cat and dog. The fox had to become more intelligent to survive the new harsh environment it would be living in. Since the Sahara has been covered in cloud and left cold without sunlight, the Fennec Fox has had to make many adaptations to become the Frost Fox. The Frost Fox is a larger, cuter, louder, more intelligent version of what used to be. When the clouds finally clear off the Sahara who knows what could
