Wasilla Tour: Musk Ox

The next part of our tour included going to The Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, Alaska.
Here in Alaska they have domesticated Musk Ox not for the meat but for their  qiviut under wool.
We went on a great tour with a tour guide who knew her stuff and also used humor to help us remember. 
This year they had 13 baby Musk Ox and they all are named after spices, for example Paprika and Mace.

These are the good Musk Ox mommies that keep the babies away from the fence (zoom used).

This are the babies of the bad Musk Ox mommies who let the babies play close to the fence and the tourist ;-)


This baby Musk Ox is climbing from one pen to another through the fence.

  It was a great afternoon at the Musk Ox Farm.
