Muskox
A bovid of the Arctic realm known for its thick coat of hair and strong odor
Musk oxen live in the frozen Arctic and roam the tundra in search of the roots, mosses, and lichens that sustain them. In winter, they use their hooves to dig through snow to graze on these plants. During the summer, they supplement their diet with Arctic flowers and grasses, often feeding near water. nationalgeographic.com
