Furry suspect attempts Arctic heist

A curious Arctic wolf tries to steal Anne Oppliger’s bag on May 4 during a photography expedition with Ausuittuq Adventures on Ellesmere Island. “He tried to take the bag four times,” said New Jersey-based photographer Gregory Garnich, who captured the moment. He said he believes the wolf was drawn to the bag after “a small Arctic fox peed on it in Resolute Bay.” This trip was Garnich’s second to the Canadian North, but his first time seeing Arctic wolf packs.
