We Heart Muskox
Muskox Family
It's a herd life
Bonding, health & safety.
Muskox live in herds in the Arctic, and calves rely on the herd to keep them safe and healthy. Adults will form a circle around calves to protect them from predators. Calves have a strong bond with their parents.

Fun facts
about muskoxen.
- Muskoxen have secret weapon against the cold – a two-layer coat. Their soft underwool, called qiviut (“kiv-ee-ute”) is warmer than sheep’s wool and softer than cashmere. They shed it in spring.
- Muskoxen have lived in the frozen Arctic for many thousands of years, living on prairies and tundra in Greenland, northern Canada and Alaska.
