The Muskox is a prehistoric looking animal that is found in the Arctic Circle. They are related to sheep and goats, and have a thick coat of fur that helps keep them warm in the cold climate.

They can weigh up to 600 pounds, and their horns can be over a foot long! Despite their size, they are gentle animals that only defend themselves when necessary.

Muskoxen are important to the Arctic ecosystem, as they help disperse seeds and fertilize the ground with their droppings.
