Both the mother and the father help to raise their young pups. The young females leave the family and form their own groups and the males stay with the family. Arctic Foxes form pairs in the breeding season. Litters are born in the early summer. The parents raise the young in a large den under the ground. The pups are born with brown fur and as they grow older it turns white.
