Muskox

Ovibos moschatus

Summary 3

The muskox (Ovibos moschatus), Muskoxen occurred down to England during the last interglacial, and lived together with hippopotamuses. The range of habitats and climates they could inhabit is probably much greater than they do now, and it is probable that they, like so many others, were forced into the most inhospitable habitats to avoid humans.
