Muskox is able to tolerate 50-degree frosts and wind speed, reaching 120 km / h. The animal is characterized by a densely packed structure of the body, the characteristic features of which are a short, thick neck, a large head with sharp swirling horns and shortened limbs. The whole body is covered with a very long and thick, silky coat, 60 to 80% of the warm undercoat.The wool of a musk ox is considered to be the warmest and is very much appreciated. It feeds on moss and lichens, which are extracted by hoofs from under the snow. It is said that once the musk oxen dwelt on the Eurasian land. They lived in uninhabited areas, and they were ignorant of the fear of people. Even in the twentieth century, musk oxen let people in close to them, and those for the sake of wool and meat killed them sometimes simply with sticks.
