An inquisitive arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus).  The dark color is from a recessive gene that was promoted by the fur industry on several of the Aleutian Islands.  After fox predation nearly forced the Aleutian Canada goose to extinction, the US Fish and Wildlife Service eliminated the foxes on all the islands except Shemya Island.
