2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Musk Ox, East Coast - Scoresby Sund, Greenland
Herd of Musk Ox

Species: Musk Ox | Location: East Coast - Scoresby Sund, Greenland

We encountered a large herd of musk ox on a zodiac cruise from our ship in Scoresby Sund. They seemed dressed for winter. We were offered a taste of musk ox meat in the village of Ittooqqortoormiit. I was surprised at how tasty it was, and the lack of "wild" flavor.
