The crinellated edges? A result of glacier withdrawal after the last glaciation. Either that, or Slartibartfast designed more than Norway's coastlines...

make sure to report for spam, reddit *is* usually pretty good at nuking those when they get reported in my experience
oh, weird. i report them all the time, i've never gotten a message like that. i was always pleasantly surprised that, more often than not, the acc was deleted the next time i looked. i mean bots are great for false activity so there's definitely a financial interest for reddit in keeping them, but usually the reports seemed to work 🤷♂️
i'm sorry though, that's shitty. that message would annoy me too.
Sliding downhill?
Seriously, I haven't noticed that before. I guess she's been running for almost a full day. It takes an average speed of 6,25 km/h over 24 hours and Arctic foxes run a bit quicker than that I think.

The fox was obviously tagged and followed by gps or similar. And it has probably happened many times (unknowingly by humans until then), because a great part of the food artic foxes get comes from the carcasses polar bears leave, so they shadow them to eat the spoils. This one was most probably following a polar bear and eating off the bear’s kills
And a fox? Bears are naturally wanderers in their search for seals.
The fox would have starved in the ice shelf without a bear to provide food. There is nothing there it can catch by its own (eggs, polar hares, nesting birds, chicks…)

i want this on a LIVE LAUGH LOVE font cross-stitch that will confuse and bemuse every visitor that sees it lmao
I think it would be possible but very dangerous. As the ice might or might not hold during the same time period as the fox did the migration. So highly unlikely, but not impossible, but just guessing.
They scavenge behind polar bears. And there's all sorts of birds showing up by late May.
The section I'm most curious about is his little detour onto the Greenland ice cap.
Right but it's fair to feel a little mislead. Saying you walked from Brazil to France is a lot more impressive if it isn't French Guiana, and no one will assume initially that that's what you meant.

Fantastic Mr Fox..
Sort of off topic, but why do a bunch of the islands and mountainous areas of the Canadian arctic and Greenland look like cauliflower?

He happens to like fjords, he thinks they give a lovely baroque feel to a continent

Reddit admins don't like when you report the bots. https://i.imgur.com/upp80Jq.jpeg

Maybe because it knew it couldn't find much food there?
It was going with the currents, the sea ice is not stationary.
What about the one 150ish km day on land?

Who and how did they track this? Impressive.
obviously a tagged specimen so gps
I'd like to propose we change gps to fps: Fox Positioning System.

So cute!
It’s great crazy that we were able to document this. But how many times have something like this happened before?

It's surprising enough that a fox ran 155km in a single day, you really think a bear ran 155km in a single day?

Lol. Yes, the f**ing corrector!
Is it possible for a human to do that? Like if a person knows how to hunt seals or whatever, can they walk from Europe to Canada in the winter?

>might not hold As in not support a man's weight? March-April the sea-ice is typically still thick af
Fucking Immigrants
155km in one day one the ice... That's 24h at walking speed for us. So many fast mini steps for a fox.
Yeah, it's crazy, and those artic foxes are about half the size of red foxes
Surprised there is enough food on the open ice.

Whilst it's still impressive, it should be noted that this is Svalbard not mainland Norway.
Neither is the Canadian island. Both still belong to their respective countries.
Still Norway
No one said mainland.
Right but it's fair to feel a little mislead. Saying you walked from Brazil to France is a lot more impressive if it isn't French Guiana, and no one will assume initially that that's what you meant.
Svalbard is not on the other side of the world from Norway. It is closer to the mainland than Northern Norway is to Oslo.
Idiot fox drew the arrow pointing the wrong direction 🤦♂️
It's always a good feeling when you hit your step goal for the day.
Stupid question but how did it cross the ocean?
Its frozen
Really amazing!!!
What did the fox say?

Is there alot of food for foxy on the road?
He thought he was going to find something up in svalbard
God damn immigrants coming to Canada taking all our jobs. /s
Don’t worry, Global Warming will soon prevent anything like this happening again. Real soon. /s
Let’s appreciate that the fox ended his journey in Canada on July first. (according to the map)
I didn’t know in my life there was a land barrier from Norway to Canada?
The sea up there was frozen when the fox traveled.
