Sullivan J. 1961 alopendogopu Barrow, Alaska to and fro - searching for prey. Tail seems to almost drag on the ground; nose also low to the ground. At intervals, the fox "galloped" head then rump up. July 9 Pitt Point, Alaska. Walked up close to a sleeping fox today (about 75 yards from it). The fox looked up a couple of times - then loped away - (see journal). It had a "nut" behind an oil cream, which blocked the wind. The spot was dry, and the grass thick - appeared comfortable for the fox. July 18 Barrow, Alaska While making briefences walk this morning, I saw an arctic fox hunting. The animal loped along in a bouncy fashion - head then rump up. It seemed to be after young snow buntings. At a distance of 150 yards it looked as if adult s. buntings were attempting to distract the fox. Did notice any captures. Fox shifted direction rapidly a times or two, eventually crossed the gas line then loped out of sight beyond Bartline Ridge.
