Dovre in Norway is one of the few places in the world where wild musk oxen can be observed. Article about our visit to Dovre: bilivoka.com/en/musk-oxen-in-... Read about our adventures on our blog: bilivoka.com
I saw a couple of musk while hiking across Dovre back in 2015. Beautiful animals. They where standing near the path so we had to do a big circle around them so we diden’t get to close.
Yeeeah, don’t think a fence like that could have saved you, but nice short story! I don’t know when you filmed that, but to my knowledge flying a drone in that NP was in any case already forbidden in 2019. I won’t hang you up on that, just that you know. Just to leave it here as a note for anyone who might read this: I cannot recommend anyone to fly in an area like that, animals like reindeer get easily disturbed. Cheers.
The Muskox (Ovibos moschatus) is a bear-sized bovid native to northern Eurasia and North America, it is the only living representative of the genus Ovibos and one of only two surviving members of the tribe Ovibovini, the other being the Takin (Budorcas taxicolor), which lives in the Himalayas, Ovibovini is one of three extant tribes that are now classified within a new subfamily known as Ovibovinae, the others being Hemitragini (Tahrs) and Naemorhedini (Gorals, Serows, Chamoises, and Mountain Goat), Ovibovinae is a subfamily of bovids that is mostly native to Eurasia and lives mostly in cold-climate habitats, the Muskox (Ovibos moschatus) and Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus) are the only extant members of Ovibovinae that are also found in North America, although, unlike the muskox, the mountain goat is exclusively native to North America, while the muskox lives in both North America and Eurasia, Ovibovinae is divided into three tribes, Hemitragini (Tahrs (contains 3 genera: Arabitragus, Nilgiritragus, and Hemitragus)), Naemorhedini (Gorals, Serows, Chamoises, and Mountain Goat (contains 4 genera: Oreamnos, Rupicapra, Capricornis, and Naemorhedus)), and Ovibovini (Muskox and Takin (contains 2 genera: Budorcas and Ovibos)), it is also hinted that the subfamily Ovibovinae (Muskox, Takin, Gorals, Serows, Chamoises, Mountain Goat, and Tahrs) is fairly similar and most closely related to the subfamilies Hippotraginae (Grazing Antelope) and Alcelaphinae (Hartebeests, Wildebeests, Tsessebes, and Hirola).

I'm impressed by these animals
