Bull muskox (Ovibos moschatus) pauses on the tundra outside of Nome, Alaska. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game writes, 'At the close of the last ice age, muskoxen were found across northern Europe, Asia, Greenland and North America, including Alaska. By the mid-1800s, muskox had disappeared from Europe and Asia. By the 1920s, muskox had also disappeared from Alaska, with the only remaining animals being found in east Greenland and Arctic Canada. International concern over impending extinction of this animal led to an effort to restore a population in Alaska.'; Nome, Alaska, United States of America.
