PREHISTORIC

This handsome devil is a Musk Ox.  These are being raised on a farm not far from my daughter's house, tho no one in the family had ever been there.  I insisted, and it was a hit.  This non-profit group is raising these to domesticate them.  Their wool is the lightest and warmest.  Sells for a hundred dollars an ounce.  They are not endangered.  There are four thousand living in the wild in Alaska, and you can get a permit to hunt them.  It would take a big man to shoot one of these slow moving old goats with a modern weapon.
Extras;  From a hike after lunch along the Matanuska river.  And number two.  Someone stole my camera and shot some old man sitting on the edge of the deck, teaching his grandson how to whittle a spoon and a walking stick.
