| Musk Ox |
| Musk ox are more
closely related to goats than to cows or buffalo. They
can look very scary with their wide horns. Like other
arctic animals the musk ox has a double coat to keep
warm. It's inner coat is made of some of the finest wool
known and is collected and spun into yarn. A sweater made
of musk ox wool costs over one thousand dollars. Special fact: Musk ox challenge each other by ramming into each other head first. After more than one dozen times one of the challengers will have enough and back down. |
