Arctic Fox walks from Norway to Canada

[Catherine]

Quote:I wondered why she needed to travel so far, but it's so she can find a mate and settle far from where she was born. I suppose ensuring genetic variance so definitely like that, is a survival priority.

It must be an instinct to travel far from the birth place. Arctic foxes would be scarce because life is scarce in the arctic.
It is interesting that it is the female who traveled. After such a long journey I hope she can find a mate who is a good genetic match.  She deserves the best.

I wondered about food. There must be birds and small rodents that she could catch along the way.

I really do wonder if other foxes in the arctic migrate. I hope they do further studies about this.
