      - :
  - - - The secondary consumers include arctic fox and snowy owl.Both of these animals blend with the white snow.
      - The primary consumers include caribou arctic hare muskox fish. these animals have weaker bodies and rely on the primary producers to survive.
      - The Primary Producers include Lichen Moss Grass Flower and any other plants.
      - Apex predators: The apex predator that live in the northern Canada tundra is polar bears. But this apex predator is near to extinction caused by climate change and global warming. Wolfs are also predator they have fur that camouflage. Not only that wolf work in pack using more than one brain when hunting.
      - These animals coexist together that is way the is a balanced ecosystem.
- - - - The arctic fox has short body parts than any other fox types.This is due to there adaption. The arctic fox needs to adapt to cold temperatures. If the arctic fox loses most of its body heat it will die. But if they have less surface area less body heat will be lost.
      - The arctic Fox has also more fur on its body. Most animals in the northern tundra hibrate but arctic foxes don't. They have thick fur that can keep them warm enough during winters. Some of arctic foxes still hybrate but arctic foxes had to survive the the cold temperature so there bodys produced more fur and that is why they do not need to hibernate.

    - - When arctic fox are in extreme danger they can dig very faste underground to hide.
      - It also rolled into a ball when i extreme temperatures to reduce surface area and reducing the heat loss percentage.

    - - The arctic foxes fur can also change its color during the seasons.In winter its fur is white and in sumer its fur is brown. They change colors to camouflage. In winters there is a lot of snow and most things are white. If there fur is also white they can blend into the environment to be safe. They can not only protect themselves but have a higher chance to hunt without being seen.
