More from Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
I never get tired of this place. The animals here I can watch all day.
Musk Ox have been around for a long time. There are about 4,000 in Alaska. They are hunted for their meat and their soft brownish wool-like underhair, called “qiviut,” has been called the rarest fiber in the world and is highly valued.

On a hot day, Hugo, Joe Boxer and Patron have a lot of fun in the pond keeping cool. They can be most humorous to watch, almost hypnotizing.
They don't have the skills to survive in the wild, but they do give us an opportunity to see what's in the wild up close.
