<Arctic Fox (Kaya) Emotional Expression>

Note: He never wags his tail in an obvious way; he conveys his feelings through facial expressions, body movements, and unique vocalizations.

Vocalizations

○ Happy/Wanting affection "Mee-mee," "Myaa." High, thin sounds (often made when finding someone he loves).

○ Angry/Pleading (Cheeky mode) "Kukuku," "Kekeke." Dry sounds like he's clicking his throat or laughing (when he wants to get his way).

○ Surprised/Alert Voice becomes low and carries well (to warn companions of danger).

○ Very angry/Threatening Speaks in a very loud, grating, raspy voice.

Body Language

Expressed through ears and posture as well as voice.

○ Relaxed/Having fun Points ears forward, squints, and trots toward the other person.

○ Happy Writhes his whole body while acting spoiled.

○ Scared/Surrender Pins ears flat back and lowers his head (signaling he has no intention of attacking).

○ Curious/Mischievous (Interested in something) Tilts his head; approaches even large animals without fear.

<Arctic Fox Ecology>

Can withstand temperatures of -50 to -70°C. Mating season is February (Spring) to May (Early Summer). To prepare for winter, he buries food he finds while it's warm in the snow (he never forgets the location). As a child, Kaya once stole and hid a total of 70 eggs from bird nests with his brother and sister, and got scolded by his mother.

○ Natural enemies Snowy owls, wolves, polar bears, red foxes (because they steal food and dens).

○ Mating season (Heat) Instinctive desires tend to become very strong from Spring (Feb) to Early Summer (May).
