14 DAY TRIAL // I would like to preface this blog by saying that, as of recently, I am a tad jealous of photographers, and especially of those who get to spend most of their time snapping pictures of wildlife.
In case anyone was wondering, I am jealous of these people because it seems to me that they are the ones having all the fun, whereas us ordinary folks have to sit around waiting for them to share their work with us just to get some entertainment.
According to Daily Mail, the picture above was taken by wildlife photographer Pål Jakobsen at the Polar Park Wildlife Center in Norway. The woman featured in the photo is one of Pål Jakobsen's friends.
Apparently, the Artic fox jumped on the woman's back and then set up camp on her head while looking for treats. Thus, the wildlife photographer details that, although not featured in the picture, a keeper at the Center was at that time busy dangling goodies.
“Stig is holding up his hand with goodies to attract the fox’s interest – then he moves his hand up above the head of Lene, causing the fox to climb at full speed on the back of Lene and up to the top of the head in order to reach the goodies,” Pål Jakobsen recollects.
Rest assured the Arctic fox did not harm the woman in any way. In fact, it seems to me that Pål Jakobsen's friend, Lene Kvandal, quite enjoyed the experience.
