Standoff Between Arctic Fox and Snowy Owl

Occurred on August 10, 2022 / Deadhorse, Alaska, USA

: "I had just finished work for the day and was in full waiters, soaking wet from being in the water. I saw an arctic fox running towards the snowy owl in the distance, so I quickly ran back to my truck and grabbed my camera that I always keep with me. I got to the edge of the road I was on and started recording, hoping to see some sort of interaction between the two animals. I was surprised at how the fox kept circling the owl and the owl almost daring it to make a move. The interaction only last about two minutes and they were pretty far away but it was incredible to see. The fox eventually ran away and the owl perched on the log but this time a bit higher. Claiming his territory."
