Iceland's Only Predator

Maybe it is just finding a reliable source of food that is key. 🤔

Indeed, there might just be an argument that the Arctic Fox constitutes two subspecies at this point. For example, above you have the classic warm-weather coat more typically seen in Iceland, and as stated above, blending in and ‘apex predator deterrence’ would be much less of an issue without the other predators trying to pick them off.

And of course, Iceland being a sort of geothermal greenhouse of sorts. By contrast, these beauties trying to hack it around the Arctic Circle, N. Russia and N. Canada seems naturally to be far more grueling as a proposal! Hence the (light-hearted) subspecies idea (boneheaded or not).

(NOTE: my energy is so random these days; I might reply with an extensiveness, with gaping text errors, or merely a select updoot; in any case thanks for kicking so much booty upon these animal shares, “A#” 💚)
