In summer, the sea ice outside the Arctic Circle has completely melted.

Hudson Bay is located on the outskirts, so the day-night cycle here is not affected too much. However, due to the Arctic Circle, the length of day and night is somewhat different from that of other areas.

Its day length varies greatly throughout the year. In winter, there are about nine hours of daylight, which is the shortest day, while in summer, there are about fifteen hours of daylight.

On a stretch of sea near Hudson Bay, a strange-looking object was moving. It was Jun and Joe, with an Arctic fox on its head staring at another Arctic fox, panting and paddling hard.

Jun has been swimming for more than five hours. He is very fast and has not encountered any sea ice to rest on. This means that unless he reaches land, he will have to keep swimming like this.

This is a piece of cake for Jun Qi.

However, Xu Qiaoqiao felt somewhat frightened.

She looked up at the vast sea, where the sky and sea merged into one line, without a single cloud in the sky. It looked as if the blue of the sea had painted the sky. Occasionally, a few seabirds flew by, and the sun shone with brilliant rays. The scene was pleasing to the eye.

However... things weren't so good for Xu Qiaoqiao.

There was nothing in front of them but the ocean. Junjun had been swimming for so long, and Xu Qiaoqiao was heartbroken.

How much further is it?

During the last migration, she followed the main Arctic fox herd, and since everyone was focused on getting there, she didn't have much time to think about these things, and she didn't have to figure out the directions herself.

"quack."

Xu Qiaoqiao's tail was completely soaked by seawater, and her fur was wet and matted together, which made her a little uncomfortable. She wanted to move a few times, but she thought that if she moved, she would fall into the sea, which would be terrible.

Upon hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's cry, Jun Qi also let out a cry of "Ee-ee".

It sounded a bit somber.

Xu Qiaoqiao affectionately lowered her head and kissed Jun Qi's forehead, then hugged his head tightly. She slightly changed her position, so that her hind legs were clamping around Jun Qi's neck, while her two front paws were pawing at his head, making the posture look even stranger.

"I really want to help Jun and Qiao." A researcher said, looking at the disheveled bear and fox in the video. "Even at this point, Jun hasn't abandoned Qiao. It seems he really cares about her."

"Who says otherwise?" This kind of relationship is truly enviable.

It's worth noting that Jun and Qiao have known each other for almost half a year, but from their first meeting, they were very friendly to each other and got along very well. In the end, Qiao went to say goodbye to her family.

That video certainly brought tears to many viewers' eyes.

Because she is so brave.

The emotions between animals are always more intense and sincere than those between humans, and are free from any personal feelings.

It can touch that soft spot in your heart.

“That’s true, but we can’t do that, otherwise we’ll be breaking the rules and disrupting the balance,” the other person said coldly.

Their animal rescue center helps animals that have been harmed or harmed by humans, or animals that have been brought to them by humans.

The situation of Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi is caused by nature. The sea ice is melting faster than usual, forcing them to swim across before they even reach land. It's like living in an animal society.

With global warming, the Arctic has been greatly affected, most notably by the accelerated melting of sea ice. Centuries ago, there was more than a month to migrate or hunt seals.

However, in recent years, this icy world has melted away prematurely.

At least one-fifth of the migrating polar bears each year die at sea because the sea ice melts prematurely and they become too exhausted to swim.

The smiles on everyone's faces gradually faded as they thought about it.

The root cause of this phenomenon lies with human beings.

The arduous journey of over 500 kilometers would have been manageable if they had encountered small islands along the way, but because of Joe's earlier actions, they missed the islands where they could have rested, and Joe couldn't swim.

As the sunlight dimmed and the sky gradually darkened, Xu Qiaoqiao became excited.

This is... normal!

The day-night cycle is now normal!

What does this tell us?

This means they are almost on land.

Xu Qiaoqiao clearly remembered that when she was still a young fox, the day-night cycle she saw was normal, which meant that she was some distance from the Arctic Circle.

This was also the first dark night that Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi had seen in the past few months.

"quack!"

Xu Qiaoqiao exclaimed excitedly. She looked up ahead and, whether it was just her imagination or not, she thought she could vaguely see the shadow of an island in front of her.

"Gah gah!" Junjun, we're almost there!

Xu Qiaoqiao's excited shouts were naturally heard by Jun Qi, but he couldn't open his mouth yet, otherwise all the seawater would rush into his mouth. So, he could only shake his head to indicate that he understood.

And, make the little fox behave.

He swam continuously for a long time today, almost from the time he woke up until the sun was about to set, paddling in the cold seawater.

As night falls, the stars twinkle in the sky.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi finally reached land.

As soon as they stepped onto land, Xu Qiaoqiao hurriedly got off Jun Qi. Although she didn't think she was that heavy, Jun Jun had been swimming for so long and must be exhausted, and he was also hungry and tired.

Thinking this, Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi with concern: Jun Jun, are you alright?

After Jun Qi got ashore, he licked his paws and yawned. To be honest, he was really tired after swimming for so long, so he sat down immediately, not caring whether he would get his white fur dirty.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

He blinked drowsily; the prolonged flailing of his limbs had indeed left him feeling exhausted, and on top of that, he had a little fox on his head.

Sensing Xu Qiaoqiao's worried gaze, Jun Qi lowered his head and nuzzled against her lips a few times, appearing quite affectionate.

Seeing Jun Qi like this, Xu Qiaoqiao immediately hugged his head with heartache and said, "Jun Jun, you've suffered so much."

They rested in that position for a long time. After Jun Qi finally regained some strength, he made a few "ee-ee" sounds at Xu Qiaoqiao and then nudged the little fox's chin with his kiss.

"Hee hee." Little fox, let's go find a home.

Looking into those big, bright, round eyes, Xu Qiaoqiao felt her heart melt. Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she stroked the bear's head with her paws.

"Gaga." Let's go!
