Massive and resilient, the musk ox is an iconic animal of the Arctic regions. Covered in thick brown fur that reaches almost to the ground, it is perfectly adapted to the extreme conditions of the Far North, where temperatures can drop well below zero.
A herbivore, it feeds mainly on grasses, lichens, and mosses, which it even finds under the snow. Surprisingly, when threatened by a predator like a wolf, the musk ox adopts a spectacular defense strategy by forming a circle with the rest of the herd, with the adults facing outward to protect the young. Its powerful, curved horns and impressive build make it a formidable opponent.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the musk ox: full fur, robust horns and imposing silhouette. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent stories in the icy lands or to educate children about the richness of Arctic wildlife.
