The tundra is a place of endless days or endless nights where temperatures can reach -58°F (-50°C) for weeks at a time, and where the terrain consists mostly of ice sheets, pack ice, ice floes, icebergs, ice shelves and glaciers.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003cb\u003eArctic Fox\u003c\/b\u003e tells the story of this animal from its evolutionary beginnings to its difficult life in the far north involving:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMating and raising a family\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHunting and scavenging\u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eIts relationship with the polar bear and other arctic inhabitants\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe fur trade\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAdaptation to seasonal changes\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe never-ending struggle for survival in a fragile and vanishing environment.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This informative, lively and beautifully photographed book will fascinate naturalists and general readers.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Firefly Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152317399280,"sku":"9781770880061","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770880061_p0.jpg?v=1763706772","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770880061","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
