Arctic Creatures, Part II
Kangirsujuaq, QC - EvilGentleman - Wednesday, February 15th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Just a few of the creatures I saw when I lived in Kangirsujuaq. This page complements the first page I did of Arctic Creatures, which was Peregrine Falcon Chicks. Other Arctic pictures I have posted include this, this, and this
A caribou heading into town
A herd of caribou grazing by the lake behind the town
A lemming, sort of seems like a chinchilla-mouse crossbreed
An Arctic sculpin, known locally to the Inuit as a Kanayuk, which means 'ugly fish'. More info on them here >> fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=4123
.
Personally, I think these ugly things look like they were supposed to go extinct 200 million years ago.

GGP: the sculpins shall inherit the earth.

Spanner: The Inuit have a way with words. Nice shots!

that fish looks like a sea robin, native to the americas. would'nt it be something to see caribou in manhattan.
Guy McLaren: Those carabou could be in Scotland
hungery ham: do you have any pics of caribou balls
EvilGentleman: 20th Feb 2006 - 08:30 GMT
No, but the next time I pass by the Chinese buffet place, I'll try to take a pic of some chicken balls, just for you.

EvilGentieman I have got one are two of the Ugly fish in N.Y I am big in to the fishing.
EvilGentleman: 21st Feb 2006 - 01:15 GMT
Um, Barry... I could not decipher what you meant to ask, sorry. Near as I understood your question, you want to know if they exist in NY state? Or are you telling me you caught some in NY? Either way, I doubt it is the same species. Arctic Sculpins are most commonly found in the cold salt waters of the Arctic and Hudson Bay basins. I have never heard of these particular fish being found in fresh water as adults, but my wife says she has seen freshly spawned kanayuks in lakes north of 60. Mind you, I am no expert, so I have no actual clue as to how far their range extends.
EvilGentleman: 21st Feb 2006 - 01:17 GMT
Cat, that kid holding the lemming apparently DID follow it everywhere. That is how he caught it.
THSgirl: 7th Feb 2007 - 17:05 GMT
That lemming is so cute! I'm using it for my project in Enviromental Science class!!! thanks for heloing me find the most awsomeest animal ever!
EvilGentleman: 2nd Mar 2007 - 02:00 GMT
A pet of yours, I presume? Interesting colours on his coat, is it a Scandinavian breed?
CartLegger: is this your hometown?
EvilGentleman: 9th May 2007 - 23:19 GMT
Nope, my hometown is Kahnawake. I have a few posts from there, too.

spotted this scathing attack on our beloved leader on a telecoms box this morning on my walk to work. Snapped a blind flick with my cameraphone hence the rubbish quality.
Here's the detail, i think these are stickers rather than paste-ups.
