What are muskox?
Muskox or muscoxen are large polar mammals located in Canada and parts of Greenland. These animals have a number of adaptations that make them particularly suitable for the Arctic environment, and have been used as prey of nations in their home range for thousands of years. Muskox products continue to be exported from the Arctic, with the most sought -after QIVIUT, extremely soft, underground underground muscox, which can be spilled into high quality yarns. These animals are brown to black color, with very dense, hairy coats that melt in the spring and summer. They are also extremely compact and storage, with some muscoxene weighing up to £ 836 (about 380 kilograms). Their muscle bodies help protect them from predators and provide a healthy layer of insulation to protect them from the arctic weather that can be extremely cold. The mating season is in the autumn, the calves were born at the end of spring. A woman Muscoxen sophisticated calves for one year and most calves complement the food of grass as they grow. BecauseMuscoxen has calves only every two years, some biologists have been afraid in the past that the number of animals could be dangerously reduced.
As one can imagine from an arctic animal, Muskox is very resistant. These animals feed on lichens, roots, mosses, bark and anything else that can be fodder during the winter, supplies flowers, grass and shrubs during the summer, when the weather is more favorable for plants. The level of slow maturity of these bovides allows them to gradually ripen and develop layers of muscle, which will be left for a lifetime.
Muskox populations were truly concerned about moving in some areas. The animals were completely away from the state of Alaska, thanks to too much hunters than several Alask departments and the games imported several and founded a breeding colony. Muscoxen are particularly important for Inuit and indigenous communities where animals are used for their skin, fur, meat and cornersMuskox hunting is an important part of traditional life.
