Muskox






Today was a good day! The elusive Muskox were pretty close to the road and didn't seem to mind having a photo taken. This small heard was between the Prudhoe Oil Field and the Kuparuk Oil Field. This summer the bears were pretty hard on the herds. These ones are pretty healthy and content.

OH...WOW! Those are the coolest photos ever, Randy! Michela is right. Those captures could be - SHOULD BE - in National Geographic. The rich colors, those beautiful, shaggy beasts. I love muskox! Thanks for sharing with us.
