"Sik Sik" is the inuit Indian word for the artic ground squirrel. In the soft tundra, the squirrel may escape out the back door. If the bear sees or hears the squirrel leave, he pursues it to another entrance and begins digging all over again. Like a shell game, it becomes a game of chance for both the predator and prey.
