Musk Oxen

Musk Oxen

Musk oxen appeared on the territory of the Polar Urals hundreds of thousands of years ago! But then they disappeared. Perhaps because of the active hunting on these animals. A special program has been developed for the return of musk oxen to the region in Russia. The first herds appeared in 1997, they were delivered from Taimyr and Wrangel Island.
