Arctic Musk Oxen & Arctic Blizzard Wildlife Art Key Ring

This gorgeous painting features the famous and unusual Bovine mammal known as a Musk Ox. In this collection you will sometimes see a lone Musk Ox featured, at other times two or three Musk Oxen standing together against the chill Arctic winds. On more gift items in this beautiful, sacred collection, you will find the Musk Oxen paying homage to an intricately carved Totem Pole from the ice tundra of the great Arctic Circle.

"The muskox (Ovibos moschatus, musk ox) is an Arctic mammal of the family Bovidae, noted for its thick coat and for the strong odour emitted by males, from which its name derives. This musky odour is used to attract females during mating season. Muskoxen primarily live in Arctic Canada and Greenland,[2] with small introduced populations in Sweden, Siberia, Norway, and Alaska.
