The document compares the habitat and characteristics of two animals that live in the Arctic - the Arctic fox and snowy owl. It describes the Arctic's climate as having cold winters and cool summers with mostly snowfall. Plants that grow in the tundra include dwarf shrubs, herbs, lichens and mosses close to the ground. Both animals are well-designed to survive the Arctic conditions with thick fur to keep warm. They also share similarities in reproduction such as caring for young and diet, with the Arctic fox eating small animals and lemmings, and snowy owls feeding on lemmings and small rodents.
