Ice Age Holdover - a photo on Flickriver

Ice Age Holdover

            From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:

"During the Ice Age, muskoxen were found as far south as Kansas, but as the ice and tundra receded northward, so did the muskox. They currently roam the arctic tundra of northern Canada and Greenland and have been successfully returned to Alaska and Russia. A small introduced population also exists in Scandinavia.

The muskox and the caribou are the only two arctic ungulates, or hoofed mammals, that survived the end of the Pleistocene Era (10,000 years ago)."

This magnificent bull lives on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska!
