An arctic fox has thick fur and fat layers that insulate it from the cold. It also has keen senses that help it seek out buried prey. To which ecosystem is the fox best suited? A. Desert, which is warm and receives little precipitation B. Savanna, which has a rainy season and a dry season C. Tundra, which has low temperatures year-round D. Rain forest, which is warm and receives a lot of precipitation
