Summary: Lede: This winter much of the northern US is host to a mysterious and nomadic visitor. It hails from the Arctic. No, it’s not the polar bear, although climate change may be causing this visitor to seek new hunting ground. Prehistoric cave drawings in France of this creature were the first recognizable art. What is it? And why is it on the run? Martha Baskin puts the puzzle together in our story.
