Muskox

The muskox (Ovibos moschatus), also spelled musk ox and musk-ox (in Inuktitut: ᐅᒥᖕᒪᒃ, umingmak), is an Arctic mammal of the family Bovidae,[6] noted for its thick coat and for the strong odor emitted during the seasonal rut by males, from which its name derives. This musky odor is used to attract females during mating season. Its Inuktitut name "umingmak" translates to "the bearded one".[7] Muskoxen primarily live in Greenland and the Canadian Arctic of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut,[8] with small introduced populations in the American stateof Alaska, the Canadian territory of Yukon, the Scandinavian Peninsula and Siberia.
