Musk Ox


There were just a few musk ox in the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.  It was funny to see them run across their yard when they heard the staff vehicle approach that area.  But it was a ploy to get them moved so another staff member could go into the first area to provide something.  When they realized it was a fake call they all went running back to where they were originally.  You probably know that their wool, qiviut, is quite valuable and sells for $40-80 per ounce.  It is very soft, warm and durable.  There were some pretty knitted scarves for sale in the gift shop.  They were out of my price range but at least I got to feel that super wool.
