Other facts The artic fox is primarily a carnivore that lives inland, away from the coasts. They are dependent on the presence of smaller animals ; most often lemmings; to survive. Artic foxes also hunt sea birds, fish,and other marine life. Smaller rodent populations waver between times of abundance and scarcity, which leaves the artic fox vulnerable when these creatures are low in numbers.
