Musk Ox
Unlike many mountain dwellers, the Musk Ox seeks out the higher grounds during the long Norwegian winter. Due to strong winds there is less snow in high altitude than in lower grounds. This impressive mammal is well prepared for harsh winter conditions. After a long nap it was time to stretch out and shake off some snow.

Musk Ox Bull
It was mating season and this dominant bull was guarding its harem. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 60kpm (37mph) it is wise to keep your distance. At this encounter the distance was not within my comfort zone, especially considering that there's not too many places to hide on the tundra.
