Living things in the Arctic Region

Believe it or not, the Arctic holds about 400 species of plants and flowers. In total, the area has a little over 1,000 living species. Another animal that lives in the Arctic region is the arctic fox. Surprisingly, the arctic fox has the warmest fur of any animal, even warmer than the arctic wolf and a polar bear. Some may confuse where the polar bears live; they live mostly on the ice. They are also the largest land meat eater and the biggest in the bear family. A snowy owl is one of the select birds that live in the arctic year round. As a snowy owl, you would have great vision and can even hunt in the day. This is different from owls that are were we live because they only hunt at night; in the Arctic, you must be able to hunt in the day because some days are completly light. The Arctic is full of animals and plants that must adapt to the cold weather.
