Having trouble uploading pictures of the Musk ox, oh well. It sure is creating some excitement in region any way.
He/she is a stray from a heard over in Northern Quebec, about the 5th reported sighting in Labrador, last one was 12 years ago further north.
Seems the heard was established by the Quebec government back around 1968 near Kujjuaq. Plan was to harvest the under hair. Experiment folded few years later and the 12 animals released into the wild. Heard is estimated at around 2,000. They do not normally travel great distances. This one is on an island at moment so his/her future is not assured. Wildlife people are taking an interest from a distance, time and nature will tell I guess.
