MUSK OX & ARCTIC SUN Art Print

About "ICE AGE WARRIOR" A Muskox elder stands watch as a cool Arctic Sun descends towards the horizon. He is the oldest of his clan, descended from an ancient race of Northern Bovines and proud to lead his kind across frost-tinged tundra and grassy plain. Tomorrow will bring an ice-ringed sun again to light the Northern lands. "The muskox (Ovibos moschatus) is an Arctic mammal of the Bovidae family, noted for its thick coat and for the strong odour emitted by males, from which its name derives. This musky odour is used to attract females during mating season. Muskoxen live primarily in Arctic North America, with small reintroduced populations in Sweden, Siberia and Norway." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskox 25% of royalties from the sale of this magnificent Muskox Print is donated directly to Defenders of Wildlife at: www.defenders.org.
