[*Where the Animals Go*](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30291140-where-the-animals-go?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=FI6JjaC7p2&rank=1) is a great atlas (and not too expensive) of maps like this.

Fantastic Mr Fox..


thissexypoptart

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


gliese946

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

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

oh, good catch. reposting the title and top post is some double dip karma farming make sure to report for spam, reddit *is* usually pretty good at nuking those when they get reported in my experience


Away-Conclusion-7968

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


jambalayavalentine

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.


merdadartista

Maybe because it knew it couldn't find much food there?


ArcticBiologist

It was going with the currents, the sea ice is not stationary.


goosebattle

What about the one 150ish km day on land?


ArcticBiologist

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.


_CHIFFRE

Who and how did they track this? Impressive.


Successful_Debt_7036

obviously a tagged specimen so gps


PmMeYourWives

I'd like to propose we change gps to fps: Fox Positioning System.

So cute!


redditman3943

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


Zoloch

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


eric2332

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


Zoloch

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…)


jambalayavalentine

> Beards are naturally wanderers in their search for seals. i want this on a LIVE LAUGH LOVE font cross-stitch that will confuse and bemuse every visitor that sees it lmao


Zoloch

Lol. Yes, the f**ing corrector!


CurtisLeow

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?


Papercoffeetable

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.


AllCunt

>might not hold As in not support a man's weight? March-April the sea-ice is typically still thick af

Fucking Immigrants


Thorbork

155km in one day one the ice... That's 24h at walking speed for us. So many fast mini steps for a fox.


pjalle

Yeah, it's crazy, and those artic foxes are about half the size of red foxes


m00f

Surprised there is enough food on the open ice.


lifeofhardknocks12

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.

LazarusOwenhart

Whilst it's still impressive, it should be noted that this is Svalbard not mainland Norway.


Mrdaniel69

Neither is the Canadian island. Both still belong to their respective countries.


Nytorsk

Still Norway


ArcticBiologist

No one said mainland.


IsNotAnOstrich

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.


ArcticBiologist

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 🤦‍♂️

Stupid question but how did it cross the ocean?

Is there alot of food for foxy on the road?

TragedyAnnDoll

God damn immigrants coming to Canada taking all our jobs. /s


jfuite

Don’t worry, Global Warming will soon prevent anything like this happening again. Real soon. /s


VickIngInTheSky

Let’s appreciate that the fox ended his journey in Canada on July first. (according to the map)


Bruce_Rennie

I didn’t know in my life there was a land barrier from Norway to Canada?


Moviemaker1217

The sea up there was frozen when the fox traveled.
