This year for the first time a Muskox Ovibos moschatus


Bureau mulder-natuurlijk: siberie 2005

The
Ptarmigan
Lagopus mutus
is one of
the few birds which stays on the tundra all year round. Always with good
camouflage, white in winter and brown in summer. This ‘famous grouse
is, in another form however, a favourite in the camp….

This year for the first time a Muskox Ovibos moschatus
was observed near our basecamp. This small bovine which looks
like a sheep with the head of an African buffalo, has been reintroduced in
the east of the Taimyr Peninsula about thirty years ago, from the north of
Canada. It had gone extinct long ago.
