“Arctic fox astounds scientists by trekking 2,176 miles in 76 days — from Norway to Canada,” headline shouts.
“The young female had been tracked via a GPS device installed by researchers at the Polar Institute in Norway, releasing her into the wild in March 2018, BBC News said.
“Twenty-one days later she had reached Greenland, BBC News said, about 940 miles from her starting point. A mere 76 days after she left Svalbard, the fox was found on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada.”
This works out to nearly 30 miles per day.
