Vulpes lagopus, a fox of the family Canidae, living in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia.
Its ʽcore faunaʼ consisted of the woolly mammoth, woolly rhino, saiga, muskox and the arctic fox. All except the woolly rhino evolved in the northern Arctic, and all had been evolving for several million years before their modern forms appeared.
