Foxes back home |
Arctic Fox update: landed!
Current location Sleeping in the UK
No rest for the wicked The Foxes arrived home in the UK at around 11pm on Monday evening. However, there is no rest for the wicked and from 8.30am the next morning they were dashing around London doing radio, TV and press interviews. Keep an eye on local and national press over the coming days and weeks.
They also recorded their final Sun podcast which will be released tomorrow.
Arrival pictures To see the pictures of the Foxes arriving home and dashing around London, see: http://www.roberthollingworth.co.uk/gallery2/arcticfoxes
Please excuse the incomplete gallery. I am currently setting it up and it is being beta tested at present, hence some albums being empty etc.
THE Arctic Fox As the Greenland quest draws to a close, I suddenly realised I have yet to touch on one of the most important facts; the Arctic Fox itself. Of all the different animals living above the Arctic Circle, the arctic fox is one of best adapted to living in the cold snowy north. Unlike other tundra dwellers, these animals are small and compact which helps to conserve body heat. Adults are generally less than 2 feet long and weigh only 15-20 pounds. In winter, it's normally grey-brown coat turns snow white which is a major asset in hunting prey. The fur of the arctic fox is extremely thick and it even extends onto the ears and around the soles of it's feet. The Arctic Fox does not hibernate in winter. Instead, they live in a den dug into a hillside, and hunt continuously for food. Being carnivores, their main prey is lemmings, voles, rabbits and occasional birds and eggs. During the summer months, they will often stock pile food in their den or cache for the winter months ahead. Arctic foxes will chose a mate in the early spring, and continue to mate with the same partner for life. By the fall, the cubs are independent, hunting alone during the winter.
Watched the expedition? Now get the t-shirt! With international sales, the Foxy brand is spreading like wildfire. From Paris to Berlin, every disco I get in, there's someone with a Foxy t-shirt (sorry pop-pickers, couldn't help borrow something from Infernal's hit record).
The Foxy clothing has been spotted as far away as Brisbane, so get your unique Foxy attire from the Foxes' site: http://www.arcticfoxes.co.uk/shop.htm
