Arctic Foxes have smaller ears because they need to retain heat. They live in cold weather so their bodies naturally need to be smaller to retain heat and their ears are smaller because they lose body heat through their ears, therefore if their ears are smaller less heat is lost and they will not be as cold.
It is believed (by SCIENTISTS) that the large ears of rabbits and hares, having lots of capillaries (blood stream) near to the surface of their skin, regulate their body temperature, rather than panting or sweating like some other mammals. So- they reducetheir body heat by pumping blood more rapidly through those capillaries. Arctic hares live in a colder environment, so they don't need to lose body heat, they need to save body heat...
It depends on the species. Arctic foxes have small ears while fennec foxes have huge ears.
The difference between the fennec fox and the arctic fox it that the fennec fox lives in hot conditions, and the arctic fox live in colder conditions. Also, they don't look like each other, the fennec fox has large ears so it can loose heat fast from it giant span, and it is has a much smaller skeleton to the arctic fox. Also, the fennec fox is an gingery colour. The arctic fox has small ears so it doesn't loose as much heat so it can stay warm in it harsh environment, it has white fur, and a much bigger skeleton to the fennec fox.
The ears, as well as other parts of the body of an Arctic fox, are small to make for a smaller surface area to volume ratio. This means that less of the surface of the fox's body is exposed, which helps to trap heat in its cold environment.
They have smaller ears to conserve heat. Foxes from warmer areas have larger ears to help dissipate heat.
they have predators such as arctic foxes also they eat plants

Arctic foxes have white fur, which helps them sneek up on their prey. They have sharp teeth and they are fast. They often eat small mammals such as the arctic rabbit.
Voles, and other small mammals.
No, arctic foxes are not interested and are way too small to eat a human.
Animals like polar bears and Arctic foxes have small ears to minimize heat loss in their cold environments. This adaptation helps prevent frostbite and regulate body temperature in extreme conditions.
Arctic foxes help control populations of small animals such as lemmings and Arctic hares.
No, Arctic foxes do not have horns.
