Muskox

Muskox (Ovibos rnuschutus) populations were exterminated or greatly depleted throughout much of the circumpolar range of the species during the 19th century. Through legal protection and reintroductions to historical ranges the species has made a remarkable recovery worldwide and populations are in most cases experiencing high productivity. Range extensions into habitats unoccupied since before 1 9 0 0 are occurring in mainland areas of Alaska and Canada. This publication on the muskox in the N.W.T provides the first updating on the status of the species in Canada since Tener's monograph in 1965. The entire Canadian population of muskoxen is contained in the N.W .T.. with the exception of a few individuals recently released from a captive herd at Old Fort Chimo in northern Quebec and occasional animals moving into northern Yukon from adjacent herds in Alaska
