Abstract
When winter arrives, this fox takes off his thin summer coat and puts on a luxurious new wardrobe just for the occasion. Imagine a dark and frozen world where all who enter are surrounded by deadly threats-hurricane-force winds, months of darkness, snow blindness, and temperatures so cold that water thrown from a cup freezes before it hits the ground. Yet in this forbidding environment, Jesus has endowed one creature with all the equipment necessary not only to survive but, incredibly, to thrive. He goes by many names, including snow fox, polar fox, and Arctic fox. Scientists call him Vulpes lagopus (hare-footed fox) because he grows hair on the underside of his feet-similar to the rabbit-like hares that share this frozen world with him.
