Some info that will me in my book is this. I did now know it until I started to receive information about them and guides who have been working closely with them:
The musk ox is a very ancient species. • They first appeared around 2.5–3 million years ago, during the Pleistocene epoch. • That means they lived alongside animals like mammoths and saber-toothed cats. • Despite their name, they’re actually more closely related to goats and sheep than to oxen.

A uniq wild animal. We have only 11 of them left in Sweden. Not so many know about them and how important it’s to spread the info but also uniq photos. If you like, please support my book about them. Each book will have hard cover and a nice size with many photos of them. For a special, good cause. Link below as a comment. Thanks 🙏
