In March 2018, Norwegian scientists put a tracker on a young female Arctic fox to study her behavior. The fox then set off on a 3,506-kilometer journey from Norway to Canada. She completed the journey in just 76 days, running an average of 46 kilometers a day. Arctic foxes are known for their ability to survive in harsh polar conditions. However, no fox had ever been recorded reaching such high speeds and covering such a vast distance before, not to mention the fact that it was done in a short amount of time.
2018 年三月，挪威科學家在一隻年輕的雌性北極狐身上安裝了追蹤器來研究她的行為。隨後，這隻狐狸踏上了從挪威到加拿大、長達 3506 公里的旅程。她只花了七十六天就完成了這趟旅程，平均每天奔波四十六公里。北極狐以其在惡劣的極地條件下生存的能力而聞名。然而，以前從未記載有狐狸能夠達到如此高的速度和移動如此遠的距離，更不用說這是在很短的時間內完成的。
