My favourite season to explore in my city.

The Ice-age surviving Muskox are a incredible and resilient mammal. Native to Canada, Greenland and Alaska. They usually give birth to only one calf, so the other 2 are being looked after by the cow. Their name derives from the musky odor that they emit during the mating season.

One the greatest Ice-age survivors..... the Muskox. I have the pleasure of being in their presence again, this coming August when I lead a group to Nunavik the Arctic region of Quebec Canada. This is a dominate male that I photographed last September
