Hullo everyone and everybear! I would like to tell you the story of Nanuk. Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there was a bear called Nanuk. Nanuk is a Polar Bear. The Teddy Bear Orphanage in the Netherlands recently contacted my friend Mummy Marian (Marian Kloon (on and off)) who is well known for being a generous host for bears who need a home. They told her that Nanuk has been living at the Teddy Bear Orphanage for quite some time. They also told Mummy Marian that he\'s very unhappy. Sweet Nanuk was born with a rare disease: poor body temperature regulation. He\'s always cold! The Teddy Bear Orphanage were looking for someone who lives in a country where it never freezes. Mummy Marian immediately thought of me, as like her, I am well known for being a generous host and making my home available to bears who need a family. Mummy Marian felt that Australia (where I live) would be the most perfectly wonderful place for Nanuk to live: a warm country with me as his Daddy, and many bear friends to make a family for him. I considered Mummy Marian’s request, and I immediately said “yes”! I think Nanuk will be a very happy Polar Bear, living with me and all my bears. We don’t know the end of the story yet, because of course, Nanuk’s tale is only just beginning! However, I do think he will live happily ever after!
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 21st of February is "winterwear". As you can see, Nanuk is sitting by the fire on a fur throw, trying to keep warm by sipping some hot tea, whilst it snows outside. Nanuk, who was hand crocheted for me as a gift by my friend Mummy Marian (Marian Kloon (on and off)), is wearing his own beautiful moss green and grey hooded cape, trimmed with grey and silver ribbon and topped with a pompom, accessorised with two silver jingle bells. I couldn’t think of anyone… or anybear better to fit the theme for this week! I hope that Nanuk and his story make you smile!
The Arctic fox, seen here in his winter colors, is the only land mammal that is native to Iceland.
This one, on the other hand, was seen at the North Carolina Zoo.
Arctic fox running by the photographer on a sunny spring day in the Arctic. There were many fox hanging around this area, counted 7 Arctic and 12 Red fox in an area about 10 acres big. This is the same area the two Red Fox clashed at in other photos. There must be an abundance of lemmings living under the snow for so many fox to congregate in the same area.
An Arctic Fox is resting on a snow bank under the dim light of late November near Kugluktuk, Nunavut (Canada).
Pausing on the tundra, an Arctic Fox listens for sounds coming from the deep grasses. Normally, this time of year, snow covers the tundra and the fox's fur would blend into it's surroundings. For food, Arctic Fox hunt for rodents, scavenge other predator's kills and unfortunately, will eat man's food carelessly left behind. In summer time, they will steal eggs from bird nests and also young chicks.
They also have super cute Arctic Foxes at Wolf Mountain. These guys are on the top of the list of my favorite animals.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
Keeping an eye on the photographer, an Arctic Fox passes by. The fox laid down in front of the photographer and a friend and rested for a bit. It was being chased by a Red Fox, who would surely have killed it. The Red fox laid about 50 yards away, putting the photographer and his friend, in the middle of the two foxes. After a few minutes, the Arctic Fox trotted off into the tundra away from the Red Fox. The Red Fox did not notice the Arctic Fox leaving. When the Arctic Fox was out of sight, it was time for us to leave. The Red Fox looked very confused that it had lost its prey.
This was the first time I had ever seen a brown Arctic Fox. They are more common in Norway than they are here.
one blue and one brown eye
lives at the Ecomuseum, a protected place for native animals who can't survive in the wild.
Three Arctic Fox kits play in the long summer sun of the North Slope of Alaska. This particular den had thirteen kits that would play, nap, play and play all day long. Now that winter is here, they are not seen often, darkness and the fact that they spread out as they get older to find their own hunting grounds, make it harder to see and photograph them. I love the long days of summer in the Arctic and Sub Arctic regions.
this is the season of plenty, and at least three foxes (so at least two territories) patrolled the water edge and the cliff edge.
If Arctic Fox can laugh, I think the one on the left is definitely laughing. Another shot of the two fox playing on the tundra, each shot has something of it's own, whether it be an expression or body position. Really enjoyed seeing these two, wish I had had more time to spend with them but as it is, I am thankful for the few moments shared with them.
