Where do musk oxen live?
Quick Answer
Musk oxen live in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America and Greenland. They are especially associated with tundra habitats.
The Full Story
Musk oxen are large, shaggy mammals adapted to cold northern climates. They live in Arctic and sub-Arctic tundra across Canada, Alaska, and Greenland, with introduced populations also in parts of Scandinavia and Russia. Their thick coats and social defensive behavior help them survive extreme weather and predators. The species Ovibos moschatus is not an ox, but a member of the goat-antelope family. Their range reflects adaptation to some of the coldest grazing landscapes on Earth.
