As captain Barnacle’s old friend, Professor Natquik has taught him to do field research during his Polar Bear Scout days. And considering that the professor is an Arctic Fox, he often wears a green hooded jacket.

Although real arctic foxes do not wear jackets, they have white fur and dark almond eyes like the character. But their coats are unique as they change color during different seasons. According to National Geographic, their fur adapts to a brownish or greyish color when it is not winter.

Real arctic foxes are also adventurous, like Professor Natquik, who is a polar explorer. The Nature Works website describes these animals as creatures with nomadic behavior. In essence, it means that they move from place to place to search for food. And during the summer, Arctic Foxes stay with their family groups.

Professor Natquik is said to have brilliant hearing abilities. In general, foxes have sensitive ears that can easily detect the smallest sounds.

Another fascinating thing about Arctic Foxes is they also practice the art of camouflage. From what we have read from the Arctic Kingdom, their furs change their colors depending on the season so they can sneak up on their prey. In summer, their coats turn brown to blend into the rocks and plants, and in winter, they turn white so they can blend into the snow. We can say that they have a unique way to survive.

Lastly, we all know that Professor Natquik is Captain Barnacle’s old friend. In real life, Polar bears are essential hunting buddies for Arctic foxes. Oceanwide Expeditions states that food scarcity in winter makes the Arctic foxes follow the Polar bears to scavenge on what the bears had finished eating.

So considering everything that was mentioned earlier, Professor Natquik is accurate to real-life Arctic foxes.
