hoorah for musk oxen!

Both male and female musk oxen have long, curved horns, but only the males give off a strong stink, which is the origin of their name. It is believed that these creatures lived alongside the wolly mammoth during the Pleistocene period, so they've been around for a while!

When threatened by predadors, musk oxen instinctively form a protective circle around their young. I've depicted them in this formation with stalking wolves in the background.
