About the Muskox (Ovibos moschatus)
The Muskox can be found in the frozen Arctic and northernmost reaches of Canada, where they graze the frozen tundra in herds of 12-24 members. This very large member of the bovine family can grow to over 1000 lbs searching for lichens, roots, grasses and moss for nutrients. During the summer months, the muskox prefers to dine on Arctic flowers and grasses, preferably near a clean water source. The muskox is almost prehistoric in appearance, as shaggy as a wooly mammoth, with a dark brown coat and massive sandy yellow horns growing downward away from the head and curling back up near the tip. It's hard to spot their heads in all that fur, but their distinctive white mouth stands out for easy indentification!

When the shipment arrives, it is the CUSTOMERS responsibilty to have either a forklift or enough strong helping hands available to unload the item from the back of a semi truck to the ground and then to its final destination.
For an additional fee, we can arrange to have a semi truck trailer that is equipped with a lift gate that will lower the crate to the ground. This service ONLY lowers the crate off of the semi truck to the ground, it DOES NOT provide service to move the crate from the spot it is unloaded into your house or business. This lift gate service can be of great help to those that do not have access to a forklift or small crew of people to assist in lifting/lowering the crate to the ground. If you would like this option, you MUST contact our store for a shipping quote that includes this liftgate service.
