The most likely reasons to cause the fur of the fox to change color is to camouflage itself from its predators and able to hunt effectively. The change in color is also due to change in the seasons.

<h3>Where do Arctic fox found?</h3>

Arctic fox are found in the arctic region of the northern hemisphere. Arctic foxes prefer to live in the arctic tundra, where they feed on lemmings, voles and other small mammals.

The change in fur color is an adaptation to the type of vegetation found, or lack thereof, throughout the year.

In the summer, the Arctic fox lives in tundra on the edges of forests, so its fur color is well camouflaged. During the winter, the Arctic fox is commonly found on ice floes, where its white fur is key to hiding in plain sight.

White fur not only provides camouflage in winter but adds warmth. A pigment called melanin, absent in white fur, gives the fox its brown summer coat.

<h3>What is camouflage?</h3>

Camouflage is a defense mechanism or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings.

The hair shafts of white fur are hollow, trapping warm air from the animal's body heat and acting as insulation much the same way as a down coat does for a human wearer.

Which elevation zone on the image above is best suited to raising livestock?
Svetach [21]
<span>The Tierra Fria is the elevation zone that is most ideal for livestock. Many animals are domesticated within this area (e.g. cows, llamas, alpacas) because they can withstand high altitudes and are more adaptable to this type of environment. People who often raise livestock on highly elevated areas are usually from China, Tibet, or some parts of America. <span>

Most of the damage in New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina was caused by
puteri [66]

The correct answer is - flooding.

The Hurricane Katrina was a devastating one. It had very strong winds that were very destructive, and the rainfall was also very intense, but it was not what made the biggest damage in New Orleans, instead it was the flooding of the city.

New Orleans is a city that is on a very small elevation, close to sea level, so it is very vulnerable to the sea level rising, which unfortunately did happened with the Hurricane Katrina. Because of the strong winds, and the heavy rainfall, the sea started to flood the city and destroyed big portion of it. Lots of people lost their lives, and there was also a huge material damage.
