Corrected version:
In winter, the Arctic fox grows thick fur to stay warm. In summer, it sheds its fur so it blends in with the ground. This change of fur is called molting (British spelling: moulting).
Why we changed it:
- Capitalization: The sentence should start with a capital letter, so "This" instead of "this."
- Possessive "its": We added "its" so we know the fur belongs to the fox (not "it is").
- Spelling: "molting" is the common American spelling; "moulting" is the British spelling.
What "molting" means: Molting means an animal loses old fur, feathers, or skin and grows new ones. The Arctic fox molts so it can stay warm in winter and blend in with the ground in summer (camouflage).
Pronunciation tip: molting = "MOL-ting".
