    An arctic fox has walked more than 3,500km (2,000 miles) from Norway to Canada in just 76 days, astonishing researchers at the Norwegian Polar Institute.
    Here is a picture of the little darlin' ………. She sure was on a mission :)

    She's a 'blue fox' and was fitted with a tracking device

    She's very pretty.
    Is this a normal thing they all do?

    Map of her journey. This article said some of the trip might have been while floating on sea ice.

    I bet she did float on ice for a while, bless her little heart
    I think I'd hitch a lift too - I 'know' I would
