Excerpts

"Musk Ox. If they look like they stepped out of the last ice age, it's because the did. Alaska's musk oxen of today are identical to the ones that were around one hundred thousand years ago. Why changes something that works? Wrapped in six-inch-thick underfur and a long overcoat of windproof, snowproof guard hairs that nearly drag the ground, musk oxen(Ovibos moschatus)are tailor-made for their environment."
