Hefty newcomer on view at Whipsnade is this 6year old Muskox from Greenland. The Ox weighing 700lbs and standing 5ft high at the shoulder, is a male, and has been placed in an enclosure near two females that have been there since 1965. It is hoped eventually that they will be able to be mated - there having been no record of them having been bred previously in this country. The Whipsnade Muskox are the only examples of their species in the country, and they are now protected in their natural habitat of Greenland and Alaska to prevent them becoming extinct. 14th June 1968 *** Local Caption *** Animal Misc
