Nature is awesome.

A young female Arctic fox has shocked scientists by traveling over 3,500 km (2,175 miles) from Norway to Canada in just 76 days.
The journey took her from Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago, which sits between mainland Norway and the North Pole, to Ellesmere Island, Canada, according to research published in the journal Polar Research.
Scientists from Norway's Polar Institute, which fitted the Arctic fox with a satellite transmitter, say it undertook one of the longest dispersal events --a movement from the birth place to a potential breeding location -- ever recorded for the species.
Nature is awesome.

Great thread. Glad you took it back from Landmass.
This is super badass. Sounds like the thing didn't stop moving for 2.5 months.

I wonder if that collar makes it harder for her to camouflage herself and stalk dinner?

German's thing stopped being funny in 2010.
And this OP is in the other thread, but that thread sucks because it was politicized immediately by that OP.

Similar mileage to the AT, which humans have done in 45ish days (maybe lower now, not going to check the FKT)

She wouldn't have made it had it just been cool.
It's straight up frigid.

Don't care. We need to stop letting the PoliBoard bleed into the OT Lounge like in the other thread.

My post in the last thread, because I like this thread better:
Average speed.
Guess there's nothing in Greenland of interest to an Arctic fox.

Logging nearly 30 miles per day
Average speed.

Her speed across the Greenland ice sheets was especially noteworthy, reported Australian news network ABC. The fox trotted 96 miles a day across that country
