| Title: | Growth rates and energy demands in captive juvenile Arctic foxes Alopex lagopus in Svalbard / Karl Frafjord. |
| Author(s): | Frafjord, Karl. |
| Date: | 1994. |
| In: | Polar Biology. (1994.), Vol. 14(5) (1994) |
| Abstract: | Four Arctic foxes Alopex lagopus pups (two males and two females) were caught at dens when 25-53 days old and kept in outdoor pens at Ny Ålesund, Svalbard. Growth in body size, increase in weight and food consumption were monitored from July to December 1987. Pups reached 97% of maximum body size in 99-127 days. Body weight took 130 days. Food consumption increased until 90 days old, after it was variable. Author gives energy consumption figures. |
| Notes: | Polar Biology. Vol. 14(5) :355-358 (1994). |
