Musk ox have a special way of defending themselves in the time of danger. When the wolf approaches the herd, the musk ox stoop down and rub their legs against their forelegs. A very strong odor is released into the air by scent glans just below each eye. Nobody knows why they send out that very strong odor it is a mystery! The musk ox then charges out to the predator, with a swipe of his horns. If a wolf, (there predator,)
picks up one of the ox they will kick until it is free on it's side and is ready to crush the wolf.
Musk ox get their food from small arctic plants.
Musk ox are very mysterious and fun to learn about!
I love this animal, don't you?!
