The muskox (Ovibos moschatus) also spelled musk ox and musk-ox 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. colour illustration From the book ' Wild oxen, sheep & goats of all lands, living and extinct ' by Richard Lydekker (1849-1915) Published in 1898 by Rowland Ward, London
