Muskoxen are a large hoofed mammal native to the arctic, whose thick, two-layer coat is as recognizable as their horns. The inner wool from their coat, called qiviut, is highly prized for its softness, length, and insulation value. In this Muskox, his coat is splaying out around his hooves like a tent, keeping him warm against the elements, while small ears and rounded horns peak out from his head.
