Musk Ox Characteristics
Male and also female musk oxen have long curved horns. Musk oxen stand 4 to 5 ft high. They have a small tail which is concealed under a layer of fur. Adults, on average 630 pounds.
Dominant musk oxen often get access to the best resources and also land. They will displace subordinates from patches of grass during the winter season. Musk oxen bulls assert their dominance in many ways. Bulls are also known to roar, they swing their heads, and also paw the ground. The dominant bulls often treat subordinate bulls like cows of an ice age.
How Climate Change Affects the Musk Oxen
Taking these Musk Oxen are inexorably linked to climate stressors in the Arctic. Unlike people and other animal species, they do not adapt very well to warm weather temperatures and they are also feeling the brunt of CLIMATE CHANGE. Due to climate change, it’s been found that newborn musk ox has a smaller head size.
Like many animals, they are forced to migrate northwards as warming temperatures force them to also find new habitats. In the near future, they and other species could run out of places to retreat to.
Conservation: How We Help Animals Affected by Climate Change
As a fashion photographer, I pay the models. As a wildlife photographer, I can not pay the musk oxen herd in these photographs of animals. I’ve developed relationships with conservation organizations such as the Wolf Conservation Center, and World Animal Protection. A percentage of all print sales is given to these organizations to preserve animals. When you purchase a musk oxen print for your home decor, you are directly helping the animals.
Pictures of the Musk Oxen, the Arctic Giant
On my expeditions to capture musk oxen pictures, I have gained so much knowledge of these amazing beasts. With a local name that translates to ‘the bearded one,’ the Arctic Musk Ox is a large species of herbivore weighing up to 800 pounds or so.
Natives living in the arctic region generally use the musk ox wool or musk ox yarn due to the length, softness, and also warmth provides. They also have very thick horns on top of their forehead that works as a shield for the head butting for dominance in the herd.
