Woodland muskox

The woodland muskox (Ovibos moschatus boreales) is a subspecies of musk-oxen that are native to most of Siere and parts of northern Nareemia. The woodland musk-ox is an vulnerable species due to its habitat being intensely destroyed with as little as 1,300 individuals left in the world. Most of the woodland muskox are found in Stafcord in Siere with 950 individuals, the remaining being found in Tolwick, Berchill, Cheskachena, Averheller, and Paudchaud as well as northern Nareemia states like Hasriden, New Siere, and Athens. They preferably live in lichen-rich mature forests, marshes and bogs which are convenient to a river or a lake. 
== Description ==
Both male and female muskoxen have long, curved horns. Muskoxen stand 1.1 to 1.5 m (4 to 5 ft) high at the shoulder, with females measuring 135 to 200 cm (4.4 to 6.6 ft) in length, and the larger males 200 to 250 cm (6.6 to 8.2 ft). The small tail, often concealed under a layer of fur, measures only 10 cm (3.9 in) long. Adults, on average, weigh 285 kg (630 lb) and range from 180 to 410 kg (400 to 900 lb). The thick coat and large head suggest a larger animal than the muskox truly is; the bison, to which the muskox is often compared, can weigh up to twice as much. However, heavy zoo-kept specimens have weighed up to 650 kg (1,400 lb). Their coat, a mix of black, grey, and brown, includes long guard hairs that almost reach the ground.
