A total of 193 Arctic Foxes (Alopex lagopus) have been ear-tagged in northern Alaska since March 1975. Eighteen tagged foxes have been recovered since their release; seven involved long-distance movements ranging from 129 to 945 km, some of which were apparently made irrespective of local food availability. Maximum average travel rate during long-distance movements was 24 km/d.
