About the Musk Ox

The Musk Ox, or Ovibos moschatus, is a large Arctic mammal native to the tundra regions of North America and Greenland, with a conservation status of Least Concern. While the name “Oxen” appears in their name, the truth is that these mammals are closely related to goats and sheep than to true oxen. Musk Oxen are known for their incredible adaptation to harsh Arctic conditions and their distinctive defensive behavior of forming protective circles when threatened.

If you’re looking for Arctic mammal taxidermy, the Musk Ox is an essential addition to your collection! This species is sexually dimorphic, with bulls being significantly larger and more robust than cows. Adult bulls can weigh between 400-900 pounds, while females typically weigh 300-400 pounds. Both males and females have the characteristic curved horns that meet at the center of their heads, forming a distinctive boss. Bulls have larger, more impressive horn spreads that can reach up to 30 inches across.

Musk Ox Life Size Mounts

If you’re looking for a huge mammal to display in the corner of your taxidermy collection, museum exhibition, office, or outdoor sports store, a life size Musk Ox taxidermy mount is sure to be a stunning centerpiece and conversation starter! Easily one of the most striking features of this animal is its incredibly dense coat, which consists of a soft undercoat called qiviut (one of the warmest natural fibers in the world) covered by long, coarse guard hairs that nearly reach the ground.

A Musk Ox life size mount will show off the long guard hairs perfectly, giving the animal its characteristic “skirt” appearance that will make it stand out from the other animals in your collection. The All-Taxidermy team also offers plenty of options for interesting custom habitats and poses for your Musk Ox.

Musk Ox Shoulder Mounts/Wall Pedestals

If room in your taxidermy collection is a concern, or you’re looking for a bit more affordable option, we recommend opting for a shoulder mount or wall pedestal mount instead. This is the perfect choice for if you want to focus on the animal’s immense head, horns, and facial features. For example, a Musk Ox display is perfect for situating alongside other goat, deer, cow, and various other ungulate species. At All-Taxidermy, our Musk Ox shoulder mounts and wall pedestals are crafted with a high level of attention to detail. Browse all our shoulder mounts online.

Musk Ox Skulls & European Mounts

Another way to focus on the Musk Ox’s horns is by having our team prepare a skull or European mount for display. Our Musk Ox skulls are all cleaned via the Dermestid beetle cleaning method for as white and clean of a look as possible. Display your Musk Ox skull or European mount in your cabin, on a bookshelf or desk, or in a museum/nature center exhibition for educational purposes. All our quality beetle-cleaned animal skulls will be denoted by the Deluxe Beetle Cleaned Skulls logo to indicate our most museum-ready pieces.

Musk Ox Hides

If you collect and display animal hides, you should definitely consider adding a Musk Ox hide to your collection! A Musk Ox hide display is perfect for appreciating the detail of the hair quality of the animal’s long guard hairs. Display your Musk Ox hide on your cabin wall, drape over a sofa, or showcase alongside various other animal hides in a museum exhibition or nature center. The All-Taxidermy team has several hides available in our collection, all in stunning condition.
