Question: An arctic fox (A) and a desert fox (B) experience very different climates. They also have different phenotypes designed to enhance success in each climate.

An arctic fox (A) and a desert fox (B) experience very different climates. They also have different phenotypes designed to enhance success in each climate. Based on this information and the photos below, describe ALL differences in heat flux (loss or gain) between the two animals. Assume that each animal experiences the environmental conditions depicted in the photo. In other words, compare the heat fluxes of the Arctic fox in its environment (photo A) to the heat fluxes of the desert fox in its environment (photo B). Be sure to emphasize how the phenotypic and environmental differences contribute to differences in heat flux.
