Musk Ox

Musk oxen are large and incredible creatures that survive in the brutal conditions of the arctic tundra. These mammals are often compared to cattle such as the very furry highland cow, yet musk ox are actually related more closely to sheep and goats. Musk oxen are part of the Bovidae family (all of the species of this family have two-toed hooves, four-chambered stomachs, and are herbivores).

The meat has an appearance similar to prime beef, and a smooth texture similar to beef or buffalo. The taste of muskox surpasses that of domestic livestock and when prepared correctly (it should not exceed a cooking temperature of medium rare), it melts in your mouth bursting with flavour.

100 grams of Muskox meat contains 20g of protein, 2g of fat and only 105 calories.
