What is a Musk Ox?
Musk oxen are large, furry mammals that live in the Arctic tundra of North America and Greenland. Despite their name, they are more closely related to goats and sheep than to oxen. These animals are famous for their long, shaggy coats that protect them from freezing temperatures, and for the strong musky odor males produce during mating season. Musk oxen live in herds and use their curved horns to defend against predators like wolves. They eat grasses, mosses, and roots, and dig through snow to find food. Musk oxen can live up to 20 years in the wild and are well adapted to survive in harsh, icy habitats.
