摘要
We observed a Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) excavating an Arctic Fox (Alopex lagopus) den on 24 June 1998, 3 km inland from the Hudson Bay coast (58 degrees 40'N, 93 degrees 12'W), near Cape Churchill in Wapusk National Park. Manitoba. To our knowledge this is the first observed excavation of an Arctic Fox den by a Polar Bear.
