Arctic Fox Sets Record In Walking From Norway To Canada

A polar fox is fitted with a satellite tracking collar in Krossfjorden, Svalbard, on July 29, 2017, as part of research conducted by the Norwegian Polar Institute. Norwegian researchers said Tuesday that this young female arctic fox has been tracked walking from Norway to Canada.

Researchers documented the fox's epic trek of more than 2,700 miles. They also say she set a speed record for her species, at one point covering about 96 miles per day.
