they are beautiful looking animal if you just leave them alone in their own environment a rare species that need to be preserved indeed. Another rare species in the north that I have tasted is the Musk Ox again their meat tasted like beef but a little stringy similar to Moose meat with a gamey palette. The qiviut is an Inuit word commonly used to indicate the wool of the muskox. The word was originally used to refer to the down feathers of birds as well as the inner wool of the muskox It is valued for its use as a fiber as, unlike sheep's wool, it does not shrink in water at any temperature. (However, this means that it also is not useful for felting.) It is most commonly used for hats and scarves, and is among the softest wools, though this softness comes with a price. A high quality "smoke ring" -- essentially a knitted scarf -- will cost about $175, but will last over 20 years with good care. (from wiki)
