Musk ox in the Dovre mountains:
It was introduced in 1947, after several unsuccessful attempts, from Greenland to Norway. It tolerates the cold and the snow in harsh conditions at Dovrefjell very well. It is both related to the sheep and the ox. Over the past 20 years, the number of musk oxen has increased and in the winter 2019 there were about 240 animals at Dovre mountain plateux. Even so, the musk oxen population is threathened by several hazards such as illness, warmer climate, train collisions and also too many people getting too close.
Do not disturb it unnecessary and do not get closer than 200 meters from it. The musk ox is a peaceful herbivore and does not care about humans if left alone. It can also seem like it`s both fearless and tame when you walk past it. But do not be fooled, this is a wild animal with an unusual defense strategy. The best way to safely see the musk ox, is by joining a guided musk ox safari.
