Arctic foxes on Bering Island have a task to make "home videos" for research purposes. They were equipped with miniature cameras and sent back to their native environment with this honorable mission.
“With this experiment, we hope to see all the hidden and previously unexplored moments in animal life. Thanks to a camera worn around the neck of polar foxes, we will be able to get into their own world, inaccessible to the human eye,” notes Alexander Shiyenok, a senior researcher at the reserve, who studies the ecology of the endemic subspecies of the island's fauna - the Bering fox.
Scientists have prepared a camera of such a size that will allow the Arctic fox to move freely and shoot everything that is in front of his eyes and how he navigates in the rookery of marine mammals. It can be intimate or dramatic shots: searching and trying to get food, meeting with prey or other predators, the nuances of family life, or time in the circle of just recently born pups.
