Here are three short ways to say it:

  • In winter the Arctic fox grows thick fur to stay warm. In summer it sheds it to blend with the ground — this is called molting.
  • The Arctic fox gets a warm, thick coat for winter and loses it in summer so it matches the ground (molting).
  • Arctic foxes grow heavy fur to keep warm in winter and shed it in summer to hide better; this change is called molting.
