*** About Muskoxen: Muskoxen are stocky, long-haired mammals with a thick coat and a distinctive shoulder hump. Native to the Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland, and Alaska, they are well adapted to their harsh habitat of tundra and frozen plains. These ancient animals are survivors of the last ice age, symbolizing endurance and strength. Living in herds, muskoxen have a unique circle defense strategy against predators. They are primarily grazers, feeding on mosses, Arctic willows, and tundra grasses. Conservation efforts in the 20th century have helped stabilize their population, making them a symbol of Arctic wildlife conservation.
