Hello friends, this is the figure of
Muskox (Ovibos moschatus) Zimmermann, 1780 of
Schleich-Wild Life. Total lenght 150 mm. This figure is of 2003 line of figures and currently is retired. As members of the subfamily Caprinae of the family Bovidae, muskoxen are more closely related to sheep and goats than to oxen; however, they are placed in their own genus, Ovibos (Latin: "sheep-ox"). The muskox is one of the two largest extant members of Caprinae. Muskoxen live in herds of 12–24 in the winter and 8–20 in the summer. They do not hold territories, but they do mark their trails with preorbital glands. Male and female muskoxen both have separate age-based hierarchies, with mature oxen being dominant over juveniles.






Schleich are one of the oldest brands that they do figures currently. They have done new figures of some old replicas. This replica is one of their old treasures. This figure is a very nice replica. The proportions of this figure are corrects. The hair is good. The stand of this figure is wonderful and it is a good acquisition for prehistoric collectors as me. I think that this figure is the best figure of Muskox. I bought this figure in a store of Cádiz (Spain) nine years ago
