Which risk rises within arctic fox paws when subjected to prolonged sub-zero surface contact?

💡 Explanation

The risk of localized frostbite rises because vasodilation struggles to supply sufficient localized warmth when prolonged cold exposure overwhelms the paws' thermoregulation even with counter-current exchange; therefore frostbite develops, rather than simply triggering generalized shivering or normal paw vascular regulation.
