Colophon

The animal on the cover of Designing Bots is a Siberian Husky, a medium size breed of dog that was originally bred to assist the native Chukchi people with hunting and transporation. The Siberian Husky can be distinguished by its thick fur, large ears, and distinctive coloring.

The coat of the Siberian Husky consists of two layers: the undercoat and the topcoat. These two layers protect the dogs from the extremely harsh weather conditions, allowing them to withstand temperatures as low as –60 °C. Their coat can also reflect sunlight during the long daylight hours of the Arctic summer.

Siberian Huskies are often used to pull sleds, one of the only ways to travel during winter in remote regions of Russia and Alaska. The breed became popular after the story of Gunnar Kaasen and his Siberian Husky Balto delivered medical supplies by sled to the city of Nome, Alaska in 1925.
