Alopex Lagopus is more commonly known as the Arctic fox, a small species of fox native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The term 'Alopex Lagopus' is derived from the ancient Greek words meaning "fox with rabbit-like feet". However, this species is known by many other names, including the white fox, snow fox, polar fox, and northern fox, among others. These synonyms are based on the animal's distinctive white fur and its habitat in the cold, snowy regions of the North. The Arctic fox is a resourceful and adaptable creature that has evolved to survive in some of the harshest environments on Earth.
