Fox treks over 2,700 miles across the Arctic in four months. My hero.
The little fox that could.
"They estimate the fox trekked through long stretches of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and Greenland’s glaciers with an average speed of 28.5 miles per day.
He was fitted with a tracking collar.
"And one stretch, it covered a whopping 96 miles per day, which researchers claim is the fastest movement rate ever recorded for this species."

How sad that migration patterns will be disrupted as ice floes become non-existent...wonder how long before the many animals die out if they can't adapt...
I have seen articles on polar bears dying of exhaustion because they can't cross on ice in some places and have to swim or walk around the long way with little to eat...heart breaking
The little fox is a amazing...
