Photo: Foxes galore in western Nunavut town

A fox scampers across the new ice in Cambridge Bay Oct. 11 — one of many foxes to be found in and around this western Nunavut town, where residents remain wary of the animals due to rabies, which was transmitted to several dogs from foxes in 2012. Cambridge Bay SAO Steve King said Oct. 13 that no signs of rabies have been detected in foxes this year. Rabies, a potentially fatal viral disease that spreads from the bite of a rabid animal to another animal or human, is disease found mostly in foxes and wolves in Nunavut and most often transmitted by bites from infected animals.
