The Musk Ox Farm is the only domestic herd of these big, shaggy beasts in the world. These ice-age critters are intelligent enough to have evolved a complex social structure that allows survival under incredibly harsh conditions. Qiviut (pronounced ‘kiv-ee-oot’), the incredibly warm, soft and pricey ($40 per ounce) material made from the musk ox’s soft undercoat, is harvested here; fine sweaters and hats are for sale in the gift shop. Tours are given every 45 minutes.
Yes, you’ll probably get to pet them, too.
