Arctic Wildlife and Survival Strategies

The video discusses the ideal conditions for grazers in the Arctic, where grass grows vigorously and predators are fewer. Geese can nest safely, but they remain vulnerable during incubation. An arctic fox, having waited all winter, attempts to prey on the geese but faces challenges due to the colony's defenses. Despite this, the fox manages to stash eggs for future use, ensuring survival when resources are scarce.
