@birds.wildlife.nature: The Ice River Beast, a symbol of good fortune to those who see it, has existed on Earth for 600,000 years. It is an ancient creature that has survived since the Ice Age. The muskox (Ovibos moschatus) is a hoofed mammal of the family Bovidae.Native to the Arctic, it is noted for its thick coat and for the strong odor emitted by males during the seasonal rut, from which its name derives. This musky odor has the effect of attracting females during mating season. Its Inuktitut name "umingmak" translates to "the bearded one". The muskox (Ovibos moschatus) is a circumpolar species native to Canada, Greenland, and up until the late 1800's, Alaska. #muskox #nature #didyouknow #animal #wildlife
