Meet the musk ox – survivor from the Ice Age! ❄️ Have you ever heard of the musk ox? This incredible Arctic mammal has roamed the northern hemisphere since before the Ice Age! With its thick, fluffy coat and majestic presence, it’s built to withstand the harshest winters 🥶 (and is also quite cute). 😍 Once widespread, musk oxen have disappeared from many regions over time. In Sweden, the only wild herd traces its origins back to the 1970s, when a few individuals crossed the border from Norway.
