Some arctic species like the arctic fox (pictured above) grow white fur only in winter. In summer, it is a brown color. What explanation best describes why animals like the arctic fox have this seasonal response in order to survive?

It is an animal adaptation that helps to better camouflage them so they don't get eaten or aren't hunted as much. In summer in arctic zones there is lots of brown grass and in winter in arctic zones of course there is lots of white snow!

Hope this helps! Brainliest would be awesome;)

Answer:

D) the white fur helps them camouflage against predators

Explanation:

The best explanation for why their fur turns white in winter is that the white fur helps them camouflage against predators. While the white fur is beautiful, it actually reflects more sunlight than a darker coat so it does not absorb warmth or conserve energy. And because it helps them blend into their environment, not only will it aid in it being preyed upon, but it also may hinder their ability to find a mate.
